Imaging Tumor Microenvironment with Ultrasound
Recent advances in molecular biology are providing new opportunities for breast cancer imaging. Our approach uses ultrasound to image viscoelastic features of tumors. These features describe microenvironmental factors that stimulate signaling pathways in tumors that ultimately affect metastatic potential and response to traditional therapeutics. This paper explains the motivation for the approa...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of the tumor microenvironment for precision medicine and theranostics.
Morbidity and mortality from cancer and their associated conditions and treatments continue to extract a heavy social and economic global burden despite the transformative advances in science and technology in the twenty-first century. In fact, cancer incidence and mortality are expected to reach pandemic proportions by 2025, and costs of managing cancer will escalate to trillions of dollars. T...
متن کاملTargeting the molecular effects of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment.
Tumor hypoxia is a serious and enduring problem for traditional solid tumor therapies. Many scientists continue to explore methods to improve or exploit tumor oxygenation; more recently, scientists have also focused on altering the molecular effects of hypoxia. These cellular responses to hypoxia and the resulting physiological effects, with a focus on angiogenesis, invasion/metastases, apoptos...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the tumor microenvironment in breast cancer.
Here we describe the comprehensive gene expression profiles of each cell type composing normal breast tissue and in situ and invasive breast carcinomas using serial analysis of gene expression. Based on these data, we determined that extensive gene expression changes occur in all cell types during cancer progression and that a significant fraction of altered genes encode secreted proteins and r...
متن کاملMolecular and Functional MRI of the Tumor Microenvironment
In malignant tumors, cancer cells are embedded within a complex microenvironment consisting of the extracellular matrix (ECM), blood and lymphatic vessels, infiltrating leukocytes, fibroblasts, and other stromal cells. This microenvironment is characterized by abnormal physiologic conditions such as hypoxia and acidic extracellular pH, generated largely by the chaotic tumor vasculature and lack...
