Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations reprogram glutamine metabolism in colorectal cancer
Cancer cells often require glutamine for growth, thereby distinguishing them from most normal cells. Here we show that PIK3CA mutations reprogram glutamine metabolism by upregulating glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2 (GPT2) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, making them more dependent on glutamine. Compared with isogenic wild-type (WT) cells, PIK3CA mutant CRCs convert substantially more glutami...
متن کاملPredictive Factors of Quality of Life in Patients with Colorectal cancer
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common invasive cancers, and is ‎responsible for physical and psychosocial morbidity. Therefore, Quality of Life (QOL) is an ‎important outcome for these patients. Although extensive research has examined QOL in ‎patients with colorectal cancer, less research has examined factors that predict QOL. ‎ Objective: The aim o...
متن کاملPrognostic and predictive factors in colorectal cancer.
Prognostication of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) predominantly relies on stage as defined by the UICC-TNM and American Joint Committee on Cancer classifications. Tumour extent, lymph node status, tumour grade and the assessment of lymphatic and venous invasion are still the most important morphological prognostic factors. Evidence suggests that tumour budding and tumour border configu...
متن کاملPredictive and Prognostic Factors in Colorectal Cancer: A Personalized Approach
It is an exciting time for all those engaged in the treatment of colorectal cancer. The advent of new therapies presents the opportunity for a personalized approach to the patient. This approach considers the complex genetic mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis in addition to classical clinicopathological staging. The potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers which have stemmed from the st...
متن کامل[Evaluation of thrombocytosis as predictive factor in colorectal cancer].
UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION/AIM OF THE STUDY: Preoperative thrombocytosis proved to be a negative prognostic factor in several solid tumor. However, there is still debate in the literature regarding colorectal cancer. The aim of our study was to examine whether thrombocytosis is an independent risk factor for metastasis development and predictor of survival in colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND MET...
