Inferior vena cava/aorta diameter index in the assessment of the body fluid status – a comparative study of measurements performed by experienced and inexperienced examiners in a group of young adults

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2014
The assessment of the body fluid status is one the most challenging tasks in clinical practice. Although there are many methods to assess the body fluid status of patients, none of them is fully satisfactory in contemporary medical sciences.

Mechanobiology and survival strategies of circulating tumor cells: a process towards the invasive and metastatic phenotype

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Metastatic progression is the deadliest feature of cancer. Cancer cell growth, invasion, intravasation, circulation, arrest/adhesion and extravasation require specific mechanical properties to allow cell survival and the completion of the metastatic ...

A biopsy is more than a biopsy [PDF]

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 1998
This issue of JGIM contains a review, by Alguire, about commonly performed skin-biopsy procedures that serves as a comprehensive reference for generalists.1 Generalists need to know more than biopsy technique, however, especially now that managed care is pressuring them to do more themselves and to refer less to consultants like dermatologists.

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.

Transcriptional profiles of circulating tumor cells reflect heterogeneity and treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research
Purpose New biomarkers for the detection and monitoring of aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC) including therapy-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) are urgently needed, as measuring prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is not reliable in ...

A Novel Urine Exosome Gene Expression Assay to Predict High-grade Prostate Cancer at Initial Biopsy.

JAMA Oncology, 2016
IMPORTANCE Overdiagnosis and overtreatment of indolent prostate cancer (PCA) is a serious health issue in most developed countries. There is an unmet clinical need for noninvasive, easy to administer, diagnostic assays to help assess whether a prostate ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.
