Mechanisms of lymphatic metastasis in human colorectal adenocarcinoma
AbstractThe invasion of lymphatic vessels by colorectal cancer (CRC) and its subsequent spread to draining lymph nodes is a key determinant of prognosis in this common and frequently fatal malignancy. Although tumoural lymphangiogenesis is assumed to contribute to this process, review of the current literature fails to support any notion of a simple ...

Quantification of the underlying mechanisms and relationship among cancer, metastasis and differentiation/development [PDF]
Recurrence and metastasis have been regarded as two of the greatest obstacles for curing cancer. Cancer stem cell (CSC) have been found. They contribute to cancer development with the distinct feature of recurrence and resistance to the popular treatments such as drugs and chemotherapy.

The lymphatic system plays a critical role in melanoma metastasis, and yet, virtually no information exists regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that take place between melanoma cells and the lymphatic vasculature.

Novel digital tissue phenotypic signatures of distant metastasis in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Distant metastasis is the major cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients at high risk of developing distant metastasis could benefit from appropriate adjuvant and follow-up treatments if stratified accurately at an early stage of the disease.

A Robust and Effective Approach Towards Accurate Metastasis Detection and pN-stage Classification in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Predicting TNM stage is the major determinant of breast cancer prognosis and treatment. The essential part of TNM stage classification is whether the cancer has metastasized to the regional lymph nodes (N-stage). Pathologic N-stage (pN-stage) is commonly performed by pathologists detecting metastasis in histological slides.

Fluorescence-guided surgery of a highly-metastatic variant of human triple-negative breast cancer targeted with a cancer-specific GFP adenovirus prevents recurrence. [PDF]
We have previously developed a genetically-engineered GFP-expressing telomerase-dependent adenovirus, OBP-401, which can selectively illuminate cancer cells.

On tumor development: fractional transport approach [PDF]
A growth of malignant neoplasm is considered as a fractional transport approach. We suggested that the main process of the tumor development through a lymphatic net is fractional transport of cells. In the framework of this fractional kinetics we were able to show that the mean size of main growth is due to subdiffusion, while the appearance of ...

Pigmented melanoma cell migration study on murine syngeneic B16F10 melanoma cells or tissue transplantation models [PDF]
Melanoma is a lethal form of skin cancer with poor prognosis, especially due to the early metastatic feature. Recent studies have shown that the melanin pigment influences the nanomechanical properties and, therefore, the metastatic behavior of the ...

Ech1 is a potent suppressor of lymphatic metastasis in hepatocarcinoma
We have previously demonstrated that Ech1 is involved in the lymphatic metastasis of tumors in vitro. Here, we gain an insight into the role that Ech1 is playing in Hca-F cell. The expression of Annexin A7, Gelsolin and Clic1 genes, which were also relevant to tumor lymphatic metastasis, had been inhibited due to downregulation Ech1 gene by Western ...

An improved model of an actively contracting lymphatic vessel composed of several lymphangions: pumping characteristics [PDF]
Using essentially our 2011 numerical model of a multi-lymphangion segment of a collecting lymphatic vessel, but augmented by inclusion of a refractory period and definition of a mid lymphangion pressure, we explore the effect of several parameters on the form of pump function curves.
