Is Inhibiting Translation DNA Synthesis a Viable Therapeutic Option in Oncology

Certain DNA damaging agents including chlorambucil, temozolomide, cyclophosphamide, and cisplatin function as anti-cancer agents by indirectly inhibiting DNA synthesis. At the molecular level, these agents hinder DNA synthesis by altering the composition and structure of nucleic acid. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these agents ...

Burkitt's Lymphoma: Insights into Etiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Possible Lines of Management

B-cell lymphomas arise at certain stages of cellular development and maturation, potentially affecting antigen presentation and T-cell recognition. Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a highly malignant B-cell lymphoma that is frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Although BL can be effectively treated leading to high survival ...

Photoacoustic Spectroscopy, Photoemission Spectroscopy and Photothermal Spectroscopy Comparative Study on Malignant and Benign Human Cancer Cells and Tissues with the Passage of Time Under Synchrotron Radiation

In the current study, we have experimentally and comparatively investigated and compared malignant human cancer cells and tissues before and after irradiating of synchrotron radiation using Photoacoustic Spectroscopy, Photoemission Spectroscopy and Photothermal Spectroscopy ...

Significance of Respiratory Supercomplexes for Mitochondrial Function & Related Diseases

Mitochondrion is a membrane-enclosed organelle which functions as the power house of the eukaryotic cells. The main pathway for energy production of eukaryotic cells, oxidative phosphorylation, takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, especially in the cristae. Following the intake of food molecules, ...

Metformin: Promising Anti-Neoplastic Agent in Breast Cancer

Role of metformin as an anti-neoplastic agent in the prevention and management of breast cancer has been advocated in past few decades. Several endocrinal mechanisms are involved in the etiopathogenesis of breast cancer. Insulin promotes growth and in vitro survival of malignant mammary cells. High risk for breast ...

Conflicts Concerning Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies In Pregnancy

Hematologic malignancies account to 25% of all malignancies in pregnancy. Frequency and localization are comparable to those of nonpregnant woman of the same age. This paper presents the challenging in the management of a pregnant patient with malignancy. The therapy of choice of pregnancy-associated ...

A Rare Presentation of Hypercalcemia in a Patient with Urothelial Adenocarcinoma

Hypercalcemia is rare in urothelial cell carcinoma. When it does occur, it is typically through a PTHrP-mediated process although this case was not found to have a definitive etiology. ...

Head and Neck Germ Cell Tumors: Effectiveness of Alpha-Fetoprotein as a Diagnostic Biomarker

Germ cell tumors (GCT) represent an assorted group of benign and malignant neoplasms derived from primordial germ cells. Although most GCTs reside in the retro-peritoneal cavity, tumors can also exist in the midline axis of the body including the mediastinum and head and neck regions. The cervical areas encompass the oral cavity, ...

Quality Control of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using Electronic Portal Imaging Devices (EPID)

Radiation treatment has immense importance in treatment for cancer patients both in curative and palliative purposes. Modern radiation treatment facilities like IMRT or VMAT are major development in the delivery of radiation therapy with the potential to improve ...

PD1 – PDL1 Blockade Immunotherapy Applied as a Lung Cancer Treatment: Main Results, Proven Impact and Recent Knowledge Extensions

The ability of lung cancer to evade immunosurveillance is ensured by an "immune deficiency state" leading to a tolerance towards tumoral cell's antigens. Then, a theory that supports the anti-tumoral role of the immune system, made its strong proof, by individualization ...

Reactive Changes in Bone Marrow Biopsies: A Clinicopathological Study

Many diagnostic challenges arise due to insufficient experience with reactive bone marrow changes which can be sometimes confused with neoplastic disorders. ...

An Unusual Manifestation of a Hypothalamic Secondary Malignant Damage

Sleep-wake disturbances are common. Description and classification of sleep disorders helped researchers to define precisely roles and interactions between different nervous structures. ...
