OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in pathogenesis and progression of many cancers, including cervical cancer. However, importance of serum level of miR-101 in cervical cancer has rarely been studied. In the present study, clinical significance and prognostic value of serum miR-101 for cervical cancer was investigated. METHODS Association between miR-101 level in cervical cancer t...

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis. Metastasis is defined as the stage in which cancer cells are transported through the blood stream or lymphatic system, where they continue to proliferate and give rise ...

Cervical carcinoma is a most prevalent cancer in women worldwide. The metastasis is one of the major issues for late-stage cervical carcinoma in patients. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been implicated in cervical carcinoma progression and metastasis. During EMT, cervical carcinoma cells lose epithelial features and gain a mesenchymal phenotype. The EMT has been identified to be re...

introduction malignant priapism due to cancers is a rare condition that only 30 cases of kidney cancers were reported. case presentation we report on the first case of simultaneous penile, renal vein, vena cava, liver and ipslateral adrenal gland metastases from primary renal cancer in a 56-year-old man. the only complain of the patient was a history of painful priapism for one month. corporogl...

breast cancer is the most common cancer in women except skin cancer. the common metastatic sites include lymph node, lung, liver and bone. however, metastasis to the bladder is extremely rare. to our knowledge, this is the first case of breast cancer metastasis to urinary bladder in jordan which is reported. nine years after the initial diagnosis of lobular breast carcinoma, the patient suffere...

BACKGROUND Recent observations revealed Foxp3 participated in the development of cervical cancer. Furthermore, Foxp3 has a vital function in the lymphatic metastasis of cervical cancer. However, it is unclear whether Foxp3 is correlated with lymphangiogenesis of cervical cancer. METHODS In this experiment, expression of Foxp3 and VEGF-C was detected in 50 cervical cancer samples by immunohist...
