Cell Adhesion as Wetting Transition?

ChemPhysChem, 2002
Cell adhesion is controlled by a complex interplay of short range (lock-and-key) forces mediated by cell surface receptors, a phalanx of (short and long range) nonspecific (generic) interactions, and last but not least membrane elasticity. The physical basis of cell adhesion is explored by the design of simplified model systems, mimicking cell and ...

Zosteriform metastatic transitional cell carcinoma

International Journal of Dermatology, 2004
Presentation of metastatic nodules in a dermatomal distribution is very rare. We present the case of a 63‐year‐old woman with zosteriform metastasis secondary to transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Possible mechanisms of dissemination are discussed.

Transition and Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatrics, 2012
Sickle cell disease (SCD), the most common genetic disease screened for in the newborn period, occurs in ∼1 in 2400 newborns in the general population and 1 in 400 individuals of African descent in the United States. Despite the relative high prevalence and low pediatric mortality rate of SCD when compared with other genetic diseases or chronic ...

Parafallopian Tube Transitional Cell Carcinoma

Gynecologic Oncology, 2002
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) has recently been acknowledged as a distinct histologic pattern of the uncommon primary fallopian tube carcinoma. However, rare cases of TCC that are closely associated to the extraluminal portion of the tube remain widely unrecognized.We present a left adnexal high-grade TCC in a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with ...

Genetics of transitional cell carcinoma

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1992
AbstractSeveral models of genetic events which define the origin and progression of human tumors have been elucidated over the last several years. These models suggest that the study of tumors at the level of both the chromosome and the gene can be useful in elucidating molecular events in tumor progression and in determining the biologic behavior of ...

Upper-tract transitional cell carcinoma

Urology, 1997
Advances in ureteroscopic techniques have made it possible to treat many upper-tract tumors conservatively. Such treatment has demonstrated acceptable survival and renal preservation in high-risk patients, particularly those with a solitary kidney, bilateral tumors, poor renal function, or prohibitive operative risk.

Transitional cell carcinoma of bladder originating from transitional cell carcinoma of anus

Urology, 1983
A unique case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder with the primary being in the anus is reported. The patient presented with acute urinary retention from a large bladder tumor, which was thought to be primary to the bladder. Biopsy of the bladder revealed transitional cell carcinoma, microscopically indistinguishable from the primary ...

Transitional cell carcinoma

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), or urothelial carcinoma, is the predominant form of bladder cancer, accounting for 90-95% of global cases. It ranks as the fourth most common cancer in men and the tenth in women in the United States, with higher incidences in developed regions.

Retroperitoneal urogenital ridge transitional cell carcinoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1983
AbstractA rare case of retroperitoneal transitional cell carcinoma arising from primitive urogenital remnants is described in a 50‐year‐old female. The patient had a 15 × 12 cm firm to cystic mass in the left iliac fossa which was markedly adherent to retroperitoneal structures and which could not be excised.

Management of transitional cell carcinoma

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2003
Canine TCC of the bladder is a disease for which early detection and multimodality therapy are likely to produce the most favorable results. Urine screening tests are being investigated as tools to permit earlier detection. The possibility of tumor seeding must be considered when obtaining urine for analysis and when performing surgery.
