[Effect of morphologic features on recurrence and metastasis in stomach cancer]
Abstract:
Data on examination of 192 patients radically operated for stomach cancer at the Center's Clinic were analyzed vis-a-vis postoperative recurrences. Marked dependence of metastatic spread features and pathway on histological pattern of tumor was established. This can be used in working out therapeutic strategies. Most patients revealed different patterns of relapse. High incidence of peritoneal tumorigenesis unaccompanied by invasion of serous membrane was reported patients with primary signet-cell and undifferentiated cell tumor among others. Considering high frequency of local relapse in signet-cell and mixed cell cancer, gastrectomy should be regarded as operation of choice irrespective of site and size of tumor.

Metastasis
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
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...
