Abstract:
The dynamics of growth of skin melanoma metastases to the lung versus chemoimmunotherapy regime has been assessed quantitatively. Natural course of such pathology at advanced stages was found to correspond to the exponent. An analytical procedure for plotting graphs was suggested, which will allow to estimate the kinetic characteristics of tumor growth. This in turn can be used as an indicator of therapy efficacy.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...

01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
