Abstract:
The cutaneous environment hosts a number of hematopoietic neoplasms that are dominated by primary cutaneous (PC) T-cell lymphomas. Recent progress in molecular biology and immunology has provided tools to investigate the pathogenesis and the biology of these neoplasms. This review highlights newest findings concerning the immune biology of CD4+ CD56+ hematodermic neoplasms, and PC T-cell and B-cell lymphomas, speculating how these can be translated into more sophisticated, biology-based treatment approaches in the near future.

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...

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
