Tumor Antigens

Tumor antigen is an antigenic substance produced in tumor cells, i.e., it triggers an immune response in the host. Tumor antigens are useful in identifying tumor cells and are potential candidates f...

Researchers discover novel mechanism of tumor hypoxia

An article published recently in Tumor Microenvironment and Therapy - an open access journal by Versita, defines a novel mechanism of tumor hypoxia induced by the longitudinal gradient of residual oxy...

Understanding The Causes Of Hypoxia Can Aid In Cancer Detection And Intervention

An article published recently in Tumor Microenvironment and Therapy - an open access journal by Versita, defines a novel mechanism of tumor hypoxia induced by the longitudinal gradient of residual oxy...

HIF-1a protein of hypoxia creates CD24 overexpression in many tumors

It seems as if a tumor deprived of oxygen would shrink. However, numerous studies have shown that tumor hypoxia, in which portions of the tumor have significantly low oxygen concentrations, is in fact...

Novel technique allows scientists to assay tumor invasion attributable to interstitial fluid

There are many factors that affect tumor invasion, the process where a tumor grows beyond the tissue where it first developed. While factors like genetics, tissue type and environmental exposure affec...

Fluid Flow And Tumor Invasion

There are many factors that affect tumor invasion, the process where a tumor grows beyond the tissue where it first developed. While factors like genetics, tissue type and environmental exposure affec...

Tumor cell growth does not follow a master plan

Scientists may have explained a yet unknown regulatory network that controls the growth of tumor cells. Understanding such networks is an important task in molecular tumor biology in order to decode t...

Xgeva Reduces Giant-cell Tumor of the Bone

Xgeva® (denosumab) significantly reduced or eliminated tumor giant cells in patients with giant-cell tumor of the bone and also increased new bone formation, according to the results of a phase II st...

Mining exomic sequencing data to identify mutated antigens recognized by adoptively transferred tumor-reactive T cells

Identifying tumor-associated T cell epitopes can be laborious. Robbins et al. now report that they used whole-exome sequence data to identify mutated peptides from tumor antigens that are recognized b...

Environmental control of invasiveness and metastatic dissemination of tumor cells: role of tumor cell-host cell interactions.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances on tumor biology led to realize that, in order to understand the mechanisms involved in proliferation and invasion of tumor cells, an analysis of the complex interactions tha...

Role of tumor vascular architecture in drug delivery.

Tumor targeted drug delivery has the potential to improve cancer care by reducing non-target toxicities and increasing the efficacy of a drug. Tumor targeted delivery of a drug from the systemic circu...

Malignant granular cell tumor of the thigh.

Malignant granular cell tumor is a rare neural tumor characterized by abundant granular-appearing tumor cells. These tumors account for

Evaluation of molecular targeted cancer drug by changes in tumor marker doubling times.

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the usefulness of tumor marker doubling time (DT) as an efficacy indicator of a molecular targeted anticancer agent. METHODS: Twenty-five patients with advanced hepatocellular...

Unusual anatomic location of a primary intracranial yolk sac tumor.

A nongerminomatous germ cell tumor occurring in the brain parenchyma is extremely rare. A 2-year-old boy presented with symptoms of abnormal movements in the hand and mouth. MRI scanning revealed a le...
