New nanomedicines may better target tumors.
Nanotechnology has made a major impact on industry, leading to, for example, batteries that store more energy and solar cell coatings that absorb more light. In theory, scientists can also engineer nanoparticles that carry drug payloads, avoid healthy tissue, and seek out tumors. “The concept is really beautiful: A drug loaded into a nanoparticle will destroy the tumor with no side effects,” sa...
متن کاملInvestigating the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors
Aims: Ovarian cancer has the worst prognosis among female genital tract malignancies, but if detected in the early stages, it is one of the most treatable malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional-analytical study, 210 women referred to ...
متن کاملImmune profiling of tumors may better stage early cancers.
When immune cells infiltrate tumors in large numbers, patients do better. Now researchers aim to harness this immune response to predict outcomes. The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) in Milwaukee is coordinating an international effort to validate Immunoscore, an assay that quantifies this immune response. If added to the current tumor–node–metastasis (TNM) cancer staging system, it ...

متن کاملAndrogen Secreting Ovarian Tumors
Other rare ovarian causes of hyperandrogenism include gynandroblastoma, gonadoblastoma, ovarian carcinoid, surface epithelial tumors (Brenner tumor) and metastatic tumors [5]. These tumors are rare representing only 10% of all ovarian tumors. Tumoral cause of hyperandrogenism is suspected when the serum testosterone levels are significantly elevated (>200 ng/ml), rapidly progressive symptoms of...
