Abstract:
Gestational trophoblastic diseases are interrelated conditions characterized by abnormal growth of chorionic tissues with various propensities for local invasion and metastasis. Complete mole is a unique conception in that all nuclear DNA is paternally derived and all cytoplasmic DNA is maternally derived. In contrast, partial mole generally has a triploid karyotype, where the extra haploid set of chromosomes is paternally derived: Gestational trophoblastic diseases are characterized by altered expression of several growth regulatory factors and oncogenes. While differences in expression of oncoproteins may be important to the development of gestational trophoblastic disease, the precise molecular changes that are critical to pathogenesis remain unknown.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
