Case ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsIntestinal Mucinous Adenocarcinoma with Lymph Node Metastasis in a CatHandan Hilal Arslan, Hatice Ozlem Nisbet, Efe Karaca et al.Intestinal adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor. The most common clinical signs of gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma are depression, anorexia, loss of weight, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation due to obstruction. In cats, gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas are the most common non-hematopoietic gastrointestinal tumors and their frequency is higher in males. In this report, the case of an 8 year old male cat with adenocarcinoma that … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 17 Aug 2017 · 8,893 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnostic Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tumours in Dogs and Cats: A ReviewFrancesco Simeoni, Francesca Del Signore, Rossella Terragni et al.Gastrointestinal tract tumours in dogs and cats are characterized by non-specific clinical presentation and laboratory abnormalities, but require fast identification, characterization and staging. Imaging techniques play a key role in the diagnostic process of these diseases in routine veterinary practice. Survey and contrast radiography may indicate primary or secondary signs of gastric or intestinal neoplasia such as a wall mass, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2020 · 9,833 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColor Doppler Evaluation of Isovolumetric Relaxation Time and of Signals Arising from Axons of the Median Nerve as a Means to Evaluate Mitochondrial Functionality in the Context of Immunotherapy of Cancer and Chronic Conditions Associated with Mitochondrial DysfunctionStefania Pacini, Marco RuggieroReactive Oxygen Species (ROS) arising from the disruption of mitochondrial respiration act as endogenous mutagens and tumor promoters. When production of ROS exceeds the capacity of DNA repair mechanisms, random mutations and aneuploidy ensue, thousands of genes become unbalanced and genetic/epigenetic chain reactions lead to progressive aneuploidy with only two outcomes: karyotypes so altered that are not viable or karyotypes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 12 Oct 2019 · 9,690 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPatterns of Resection among Patients with Hepatic-Only Metastatic Colorectal Cancer a Single Institution Experience and ReviewK.I. Quintyne, N. O’Leary, O. O’Kelly et al.Problem statement: Hepatic-only metastasis in colorectal cancer is not a rare clinical finding and can account for 30% of cases. However, only 10-25% of cases are suitable for hepatic resection as part of their treatment pathway. We sought to document our own findings by reviewing patients with hepatic-only disease. Approach: A retrospective analysis was designed to include all patients seen … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 5 Apr 2012 · 7,196 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Blood Fibrinogen Concentration and Pathological Features of Cancer Patients: A 139-case Clinical StudyDa-Yong Lu, Xue-Liang Chen, Min Huang et al.Angiogenesis and coagulation are among the most consistent host responses to the presence of a malignant tissue. Pathological angiogenesis and coagulation are often occurred in patients with solid tumors, especially in the occurrence of neoplasm metastasis and as targets for anti-metastatic drugs such as antiangiogenesis agents, coagulation-mediated agents and anticancer drugs. Since fibrinogen (Fib) is the most abundant and key … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2010 · 7,859 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHER2 Protein Overexpression in Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast Associated with Lymph Node InvolvementAdrienne Pratti Lucarelli, Maria Marta Martins, Vilmar Marques Oliveira et al.The current study compares the rates of overexpression of the HER2 protein in stage II ductal carcinoma of breast in patients with lymph-node involvement. The research material was tissue sections obtained from the primary tumor of 28 patients with lymph-node involvement. The technique used to detect the protein was immunohistochemistry. The overexpression of HER2 protein occurred in 33.3% of lymph … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,121 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Phenotypically Suppressed Cancer Cell As a Therapeutic TargetKimberly D. Kyker, Jessica E. Thorpe, Satyendra S. Shenoy et al.Bladder cancer recurs in up to 70% of patients judged to be tumor-free after treatment. Like other cancers, delayed appearance of metastases is common. These findings suggest the malignant phenotype can be suppressed, to emerge later. Following up on previous research in our laboratory showing that normal extracellular matrix can suppress the malignant phenotype of bladder cancers, we here demonstrate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,471 accessesView PDF Cite
