Investigating the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors
Aims: Ovarian cancer has the worst prognosis among female genital tract malignancies, but if detected in the early stages, it is one of the most treatable malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional-analytical study, 210 women referred to ...
متن کاملReduced DNA damage in tumor spheroids compared to monolayer cultures exposed to ionizing radiation
Background: Several cell lines when cultured under proper condition can form three dimensional structures called multicellular tumor spheroids. Tumor spheroids are valuable in vitro models for studying physical and biological behavior of real tumors. A number of previous studies using a variety of techniques have shown no relationship between radiosensitivity and DNA strand breaks in monolayer ...
متن کاملHypofractionation versus conventional fractionation radiotherapy after conservative treatment of breast cancer: early skin reactions and cosmetic results.
PURPOSE To compare in a prospective trial the acute skin reaction and late cosmetic effects of normal fractionation versus hypofractionation radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty patients with T 1-2N0M0 breast cancer who underwent breast conserving surgery (BCS) were included in the study. Half of the patients received whole breast irradiation, consisting o...
متن کاملRetraining macrophages to kill tumors
Lipids heading toward lysosomes that carry a mutated ion channel are spared from destruction, according to Meidel et al. (page 1477). The accumulating undigested fat eventually dooms the cell. Cells get rid of excess fat, which comes from worn-out organelles or engulfed pathogens by, for instance, shuttling them in endosomes to degradative lysosomes. The two organelles are thought to fuse when ...
متن کاملMobilizing the low-avidity T cell repertoire to kill tumors.
Optimally, T cells destroy infected and transformed cells of the host. To be effective the T cell repertoire must have a sufficiently diverse number of T cell receptors (TCRs) to recognize the abundance of foreign and tumor antigens presented by MHC molecules. The T cell repertoire must also not be reactive toward self-antigens on healthy cells to prevent autoimmunity. Unlike antigens derived f...
