Abstract:
Cervical cancer rarely metastasises to the brain, with occurrences of approximately 0.77%. Our patient was referred for treatment of a brain lesion on the background of known metastatic cervical cancer to the lungs and new onset seizure activity. The lesion grew in size from 18 mm to 29 mm in a period of 14 days. The lesion was debulked and the patient returned to the care of her oncology team. The brain is an increasingly common site for metastases of cervical cancer and must be considered when staging these patients.

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...
02:07Tumor 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...
