Abstract:
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign neoplastic proliferation of synovial tissue which is typically localised and usually responds well to surgery and/or radiotherapy. We present a case of unusually aggressive of PVNS of the hip in a 73-year-old woman.

02:56Treatment Resistent Cancers
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
