Many researchers believe killing cancer stem cells in a
primary tumor should eliminate it by removing its renewable source of cancer cells, while also preventing the genesis of new cancers.
By doing this, we were able to develop a unique therapeutic that directly targets metastasis, not the growth of the
primary tumor.
The purpose of this study was to compare the expression of XPA in the
primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes of 21 lung cancer patients.
Most rectal adenocarcinoma cases had identical somatic mutations in the
primary tumor and the metastatic tissue (13 of 16, 81%).
In contrast, early-stage metastases and cancer cells traveling through the blood expressed genes typically active in mammary stem cells and quite distinct from
primary tumor cells.
In conclusion, patients with head or neck squamous cell carcinomas shown that the esophagus, gastric carcinoma is the site with the highest risk of developing a synchronous second
primary tumor in patients with head or neck carcinoma, particularly those with laryngeal carcinoma.
CTC, corresponding
primary tumor tissue (FFPE) was available in 77 cases and subjected to comparative immunohistochemical ERCC1 detection.
Although some patients with thick
primary tumors (thicker than 3.
Patient and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from December 2009 to December 2011 at The Aga Khan University Hospital on patients diagnosed as having biopsy proven CUP defined by the presence of metastatic disease with no identified
primary tumor at presentation.
Seventeen women had Scarf-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grade I; 32 had SBR grade II; and 54 had SBR grade III (13-16) and were evaluated using the Automated Cellular Imaging System (ACIS) for Ki-67 expression in
primary tumor and lymph nodes.
According to the company, lymphatic mapping is a procedure in which lymph nodes, that may contain tumor metastases, are identified and biopsied to determine if cancer has spread beyond the
primary tumor.
The key aspect of this approach is that the stimulated immune system attacks not only the
primary tumor, but also metastases located anywhere in the body.
