Tumor progression: Defining the soil round the tumor seed
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tumor microenvironment, or stroma, is known to contribute to tumor progression. Two recent studies have shown that the stromal protein matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 has a role in the early stages of tumor growth and angiogenesis.

Malignant Small Round Cell Tumor Originating In The Thoracopulmonary Region " Askin Tumor "
SUMMARY Askin tumor is a peripheral neuroepithelioma originating in chest wall. It is a very aggressive tumor and with Ewing's sarcoma are the most frequent tumors of chest wall. The tumor is composed of small round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets with pseudorossette formation. Some times around vessels, glycogen staining is some times positive in H & E but always positive in E.M. In E.M be...
متن کاملA 8-year survivor of unresectable intrapelvic desmoplastic small round cell tumor treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignant tumor that occurs primarily in young males. Here, a case of small round cell tumor in an adult male successfully treated with a curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy is presented. A 58-year-old man had an intrapelvic tumor. Surgical resection was attempted, but the tumor was unresectable. Needle biopsy was performed and the diagno...

Cutaneous round cell tumors have been classified as mast cell tumor (MCT), histiocytoma (HCT), lymphosarcoma, undif-ferentiated round cell tumors and occasionally rhabdomyosarcoma in veterinary medicine. An adult cock (Gallus domesticus) showing a large solitary integument mass raised on dorso bilateral of cervical part, extending to intercapsular and cranial mid part of the back was referred t...
متن کاملModelling Tumor-induced Angiogenesis: Combination of Stochastic Sprout Spacing and Sprout Progression
Background: Angiogenesis initiated by cancerous cells is the process by which new blood vessels are formed to enhance oxygenation and growth of tumor. Objective: In this paper, we present a new multiscale mathematical model for the formation of a vascular network in tumor angiogenesis process. Methods: Our model couples an improved sprout spacing model as a stochastic mathematical model of spro...
متن کاملCrosstalk between Tumor Cells and Immune System Leads to Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Induction and Breast Cancer Progression
Herein, we review the current findings of how a variety of accessory cells could participate in shaping the tumor microenvironment and supporting the mechanisms by which cancer cells undertake the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT, a complex of phenotypic changes, promotes cancer cell invasion and creates resistance to chemotherapies. Among the accessory cells present in the EMT, imm...
