Demystified... Molecular pathology in oncology.
In the past 10 years, molecular biology has found major applications in pathology, particularly in oncology. This has been a field of enormous expansion, where pure science has found a place in clinical practice and is now of everyday use in any academic unit. This demystified review will discuss the techniques used in molecular pathology and then provide examples of how these can be used in on...
متن کاملDemystified molecular pathology of NUT midline carcinomas.
NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is a rare, highly lethal cancer that occurs in children and adults of all ages. NMCs uniformly present in the midline, most commonly in the head, neck or mediastinum, as poorly differentiated carcinomas with variable degrees of squamous differentiation. This tumour is defined by rearrangement of the nuclear protein in testis (NUT) gene on chromosome 15q14. In most ca...
متن کاملThe Impact of Molecular Pathology in Oncology: The Clinician’s Perspective
Since Virchow established the foundation of “Cellular pathology” our understanding of cancer has dramatically and fundamentally changed. We now know that cancer is a complex disease originating from genetic defects and chromosomal alterations in unstable, rapidly dividing cells. As a result normal cellular behavior is gradually lost and the cells acquire a malignant phenotype [5]. These advance...
متن کامل“Molecular Targeting in Oncology”
word count: 135 Suggested running head: " Gleevec and chemoresistance " 2 Abstract Gleevec is an important, new, molecularly targeted, anti-cancer agent that has demonstrated clinical efficacy in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). These malignancies develop after constitutive activation of Abelson (Abl) or Abl-like tyrosine kinases; Gleevec is a specif...
متن کاملMolecular imaging in oncology.
In vivomedical imaging is performed by administering energy to the body and measuring, with spatial localisation, the energy that is transmitted through, emitted from or reflected back from various organs and tissues. The difference between the administered and the recorded energy provides information about the properties of the matter with which the energy interacted. The energy most commonly ...
