URACIL MUSTARD: A POTENT INDUCER OF LUNG TUMORS IN MICE
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|March 19, 1965
Abstract:
Uracil mustard, injected intraperitoneally, increased the incidence and average number of pulmonary tumors in A/J mice. In comparison to a typical alkylating agent, nitrogen mustard, or to urethan, uracil mustard (on a molar basis) was considerably more carcinogenic.

02:17The Tumor Microenvironment
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

01:27Tumor Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
