Biomarkers Role in Prognosis and Survival Outcomes in Patients with Renal Tumors: Review Article

چکیده
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common urological malignancies. In 2016, approximately 62,700 adults (39,650 males and 23,050 females) were diagnosed with RCC in the US and approximately 14,240 individuals died from renal neoplasm [1]. RCC mortality rate can vary between 26% up to 94% according to stage and aggressiveness of the disease [2]. RCC accounts for approximately 3% of solid tumors with high mortality rate due to the absence of curative therapy for advanced disease [3]. RCC can be classified as non-epithelial or epithelial, according to cell origin. The four major types are of epithelial origin includes: clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC), papillary, chromophobe renal carcinoma (chRCC) and collecting duct carcinoma. The most common subtype of RCC is ccRCC which accounts for approximately 70-80% of all RCC tumors [4,5]. Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is accounts for approximately 3-5% with 5-year survival rate up to 94% [6]. The standard treatment of localized ccRCC patients is either partial or radical nephrectomy, however, metastasis has been shown to develop in approximately 30% of patients after surgery [7,8]. Metastatic ccRCC may require immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or radiation therapy but with low success rate which typically leaves no other option except for surgery [7].

P154: Role of Exosomes as Novel Biomarkers in Diagnosis and Prognosis of Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma multiform(GBM) is the most prevalent primary brain tumor. Exosomes are extracellular vehicles for exchanging information between various cell types including cancer and normal cells. Exosomes are indicative of pathophysiological conditions of brain tumors that could be used in diagnosis and prognosis of GBM. In tumors, exosomes could carry various molecules like several miRNAs and ...

Glioma is the most common type of brain tumor and according to the 2016 WHO classification, based on invasion level, it is divided into four categories. The most severe and invasive type is grade IV glioma or glioblastoma (GBM), which has a very poor prognosis and a survival rate of only 15 months. However, the molecular pathway of invasion in malignant glioma tumors has not yet been clearly el...

Background and Aim: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for approximately 3% of all cancers worldwide, and if diagnosed early, it has a five-year survival rate of around 85%; however, a late diagnosis may decrease the survival rate to 50%. Aberrant expression of several genes is associated with the hallmarks of OSCC including uncontrolled cell proliferation, poor differentiation, invas...
متن کاملEmerging insights into the biology of metastasis: A review article
Metastasis means the dissemination of the cancer cells from one organ to another which is not directly connected to the primary site. Metastasis has a crucial role in the prognosis of cancer patients. A few theories, different types of cell and several molecular pathways have been proposed to explain the mechanism of metastasis. In this work, the related articles in the limited period of time, ...
