Biliary Tract Cancers: Extrahepatic Management Biliary Tract Cancers
Interventional radiologists fi rst became involved in the management of malignant obstruction of the biliary tree in the late 1960s, when Kaude et al. introduced nonsurgical biliary drainage. Since then, improved diagnostic imaging techniques, significant developments in interventional radiology, and the results of clinical trials have revolutionized and clearly defi ned the role of percutaneou...
متن کاملThe Role of Mammalian Target of Rapamycine Signaling Pathway in Central Nervous System Cancers: A Review
Mammalian mechanistic target of rapamycine (mTOR) is a conserved serine/threonine kinase in the cellular PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. This pathway is modified by cellular alterations such as level of energy, growth factors, stresses, as well as the increased environmental level of cancerous cytokines. In general, increase of this kinase protein function is seen in various types of cancers, ...
متن کاملSrc as a Therapeutic Target in Biliary Tract Cancer.
Src, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, is involved in a number of cancer-related signaling pathways and aberrantly activated in biliary tract cancer (BTC). This study aimed to elucidate the potential role of Src as a therapeutic target in BTC. We tested bosutinib, an orally active c-Src/Abl kinase inhibitor, alone or in combination with cytotoxic agents using 9 human BTC cell lines: SNU-245, SNU-3...
متن کاملThe sonic hedgehog pathway as a treatment target for extrahepatic biliary tract cancer.
Sonic hedgehog (SHh) signaling is essential for normal development of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract and is reported to be aberrantly activated in GI cancers. However, the association between SHh signaling and extrahepatic biliary tract cancer is not clearly understood. In this study, we evaluated the activities of SHh family proteins and t...
متن کاملCirculating MicroRNAs as Biomarkers in Biliary Tract Cancers.
Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are a group of highly aggressive malignant tumors with a poor prognosis. The current diagnosis is based mainly on imaging and intraoperative exploration due to brush cytology havinga low sensitivity and the standard markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate 19-9 (CA19-9), not having enough sensitivity nor specificity to be used in a differenti...
