Bone metastases in hepatoblastoma, an unusual presentation. Case report and review of the literature
Primary liver tumors are rare in childhood. Hepatoblastoma is the most prevalent and has a variable clinical presentation. The initial approach requires clinical suspicion, histopathological confirmation, and measurement of AFP levels, in addition to ...

Perspective: Speculative role of Tmp21 mediated protein secretory pathway during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced chronic inflammation [PDF]
By deploying myelofibrosis as the disease context, I wish to propose that increased availability of Tmp21 (an NFAT gene target) induces aberrant protein secretion from the ER contributing to pathological consequences, which has not been elucidated before.

JulianA: An automatic treatment planning platform for intensity-modulated proton therapy and its application to intra- and extracerebral neoplasms [PDF]
Creating high quality treatment plans is crucial for a successful radiotherapy treatment. However, it demands substantial effort and special training for dosimetrists. Existing automated treatment planning systems typically require either an explicit prioritization of planning objectives, human-assigned objective weights, large amounts of historic ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Problems of Pathologic T Staging in Ampullary Neoplasm [PDF]
Ampulla of Vater (AoV) is a small dilated duct less than 1.5 cm long, formed by the union of pancreatic duct and common bile duct. AoV has also anatomic layer of mucosa, sphincter of Oddi, perisphincteric or duodenal submucosa, and duodenal proper muscle, which corresponds to mucosa, muscularis mucosa, submucosa, and proper muscle layer of other ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Mean-field dynamics of tumor growth and control using low-impact chemoprevention [PDF]
Cancer poses danger because of its unregulated growth, development of resistant subclones, and metastatic spread to vital organs. Although the major transitions in cancer development are increasingly well understood, we lack quantitative theory for how chemoprevention is predicted to affect survival.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and
