Cancer of endocrine glands and target organs: genetic considerations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pathogenesis of cancer in general is influenced by many factors, genetic and environmental. Epidemiological studies demonstrate familial aggregation of cancer in a significant proportion of cases. Many of these familial cancer syndromes contain endocrine hormone-related components. The etiology of endocrine-related cancers is complex, as is that of other cancers. Tumors of endocrine glands and target organs are subject to the same influences as other cancers; an additional variable is that of hormone-responsiveness.

The growth of interest in endocrine aspects of oncogenesis and cancer control is reflected in reports originating from a number of recent special conferences and has led to a massive literature. A large portion of these publications is concerned with studies of experimental tumor induction in the endocrine glands and their target organs (23, 62, 67, 72, 98, 124, 129, 150, 195). Recently, intere...

متن کاملOrganization and Integration of the Endocrine System.
Cells communicate with each other through molecular messengers, the hormones. The simple definition of a hormone as an intercellular messenger is much more inclusive than the original one, which limited the hormones to substances produced by specialized multicellular organs —the glands—that circulated in blood and acted on distant target organs. This simplification allowed single cells to be co...

hypothalamic-hypophyseal complex, the gonads, pancreatic islet cells, adrenal glands, thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, ultimobranchial glands and the endocrine cells of the gut. All these organs release hormones into the bloodstream, which act on target tissues by interacting with receptors on the surface of the cell (peptide hormones) or within the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell (steroid ...
