Tumor progression: Defining the soil round the tumor seed
The tumor microenvironment, or stroma, is known to contribute to tumor progression. Two recent studies have shown that the stromal protein matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 has a role in the early stages of tumor growth and angiogenesis.
متن کاملMalignant Small Round Cell Tumor Originating In The Thoracopulmonary Region " Askin Tumor "
SUMMARY Askin tumor is a peripheral neuroepithelioma originating in chest wall. It is a very aggressive tumor and with Ewing's sarcoma are the most frequent tumors of chest wall. The tumor is composed of small round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets with pseudorossette formation. Some times around vessels, glycogen staining is some times positive in H & E but always positive in E.M. In E.M be...
متن کاملSeed-in-Soil: Pancreatic Cancer Influenced by Tumor Microenvironment
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a fatal malignancy with a five-year survival rate lower than 7%, and most patients dying within six months of diagnosis. The factors that contribute to the aggressiveness of the disease include, but are not limited to: late diagnosis, prompt metastasis to adjacent vital organs, poor response, and resistance to anticancer treatments. This malignancy is uniquel...
متن کاملIntercellular Communication, the Tumor Microenvironment, and Tumor Progression
Within a solid tumor, cancer cells interact with normal host cells as well as with insoluble and soluble factors, including extracellular matrix proteins and chemokines. Here, we survey the molecular mechanisms by which cancer cells interact with their surrounding microenvironment, with a particular focus on intercellular communication. This host-tumor crosstalk provides key signals that direct...
متن کاملThe role of tumor-associated macrophage in tumor progression.
The tumor progression is not only regulated by metastasis promoting and suppressing genes in cancer cells but it is also strongly influenced by the interaction between cancer cells and the stromal cells. An abundance of inflammatory mediators and leukocytes has been known to promote cancer metastasis, and tumor associated macrophages (TAM) are the key players in the link between inflammation an...
