Medical treatment of early stage and rare histological variants of epithelial ovarian cancer [PDF]
Epithelial ovarian cancer is often considered a single pathological entity, but increasing evidence suggests that it is rather a group of different neoplasms, each with unique pathological characteristics, molecular features, and clinical behaviours ...

Irreversible evolution, obstacles in fitness landscapes and persistent drug resistance [PDF]
We use fitness graphs, or directed cube graphs, for analyzing evolutionary reversibility. The main application is antimicrobial drug resistance. Reversible drug resistance has been observed both clinically and experimentally. If drug resistance depends on a single point mutation, then a possible scenario is that the mutation reverts back to the wild ...

Optical detection of structural properties of tumor tissues generated by xenografting of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cancer cells using partial wave spectroscopy (PWS) [PDF]
The quantitative measurement of structural alterations at the nanoscale level is important for understanding the physical state of biological samples. Studies have shown that the progression of cancer is associated with the rearrangements of building blocks of cells/tissues such as DNA, RNA, lipids, etc.

Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (CD26) defines leukemic stem cells (LSC) in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell (SC) neoplasm characterized by the BCR/ABL1 oncogene. Although mechanisms of BCR/ABL1-induced transformation are well-defined, little is known about effector-molecules contributing to malignant expansion and ...
