Monitoring Radiographic Brain Tumor Progression
Determining radiographic progression in primary malignant brain tumors has posed a significant challenge to the neuroncology community. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, WHO Grade IV) through its inherent heterogeneous enhancement, growth patterns, and irregular nature has been difficult to assess for progression. Our ability to detect tumor progression radiographically remains inadequate. Despite ...
متن کاملNon-melanoma skin cancer: what drives tumor development and progression?
Non-melanoma skin cancer, i.e. basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most frequent tumors and their number is still increasing worldwide. Furthermore, immunosuppression in organ transplant patients strongly contributes to the increase in skin cancer incidence--being 65-250 times more frequent than in the general population. Often these patients suffer from a secon...
متن کاملSTAT1 drives tumor progression in serous papillary endometrial cancer.
Recent studies of the interferon-induced transcription factor STAT1 have associated its dysregulation with poor prognosis in some cancers, but its mechanistic contributions are not well defined. In this study, we report that the STAT1 pathway is constitutively upregulated in type II endometrial cancers. STAT1 pathway alteration was especially prominent in serous papillary endometrial cancers (S...
متن کاملSynaptic Input
In this handout, I consider membrane potential to be the key quantity. I take the point of view that action potentials are just a way of encoding (for transmission) the continuous membrane potential signals. In fact, the spike encoding/decoding process may perform important additional processing functions in some neural systems, but I ignore this possibility here. Instead I think of the neural ...
متن کاملOncogenic extracellular vesicles in brain tumor progression
The brain is a frequent site of neoplastic growth, including both primary and metastatic tumors. The clinical intractability of many brain tumors and their distinct biology are implicitly linked to the unique microenvironment of the central nervous system (CNS) and cellular interactions within. Among the most intriguing forms of cellular interactions is that mediated by membrane-derived extrace...
