Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common and lethal type of primary brain tumors with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment options are limited and ineffective in most of the cases. Epidemiological studies have shown a link between inflammation and glioma genesis.  In addition, at the molecular level, pro-inflammatory cytokines released from activated microglia can increa...

background and aims. various morphologies are seen in different salivary gland tumorsor within an individual tumor, and the lesions show divers biological behaviors. experimental results support the hypothesis that increased crkii proto-oncogene is associated with cytokine-induced tumor initiation and progression by altering cell motility signaling pathway. the aim of this study was to assess t...

background: squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignancy in oral cavity. angiogenesis is essential for the development and progression of scc. recently, some studies have reported that mast cells may play a role in tumor progression via promoting angiognesis. since the results of various studies on the role of mast cells in tumor progression is not uniform, the aim of this study ...

Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...

background: small cell lung cancer (sclc) is a highly aggressive tumor.   objective: to evaluate the survival and time to progression of patients with sclc admitted to a chest disease center in istanbul, turkey.   methods: based on the reports of a pulmonary oncology clinic, data regarding performance status (ps), clinical stage of disease, treatment, time to progression and survival of 67 pati...

Tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a significant component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may stimulate their progression, although exact mechanisms not well understood. This work aimed to establish biologically relevant HNSCC model as basis for further investigations.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are now well-established as key players in tumor initiation, progression, and therapy resistance [...]

Objective(s): It seems that regular exercise can have inhibitory effects on the progression of breast cancer. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the influences of interval aerobic training on mesenchymal biomarker gene expression, muscle cachexia, and tumor volume changes in mice with breast cancer.Materials and Methods: Thirty-...
