The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

3.7K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.0K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.2K
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.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pigmented tumors of the ciliary body are rare ocular neoplasms.
  • Distinguishing between benign melanocytoma and malignant melanoma is crucial for patient management.

Observation:

  • Two cases of women with pigmented ciliary body tumors are presented.
  • Case 1: Melanocytoma with decreased visual acuity, tumor growth, lens opacities, and subluxation.
  • Case 2: Melanoma, asymptomatic, observed for over 30 years.

Findings:

  • Clinical manifestations of pigmented ciliary body tumors vary significantly.
  • Histopathology is definitive for diagnosis, but clinical features aid in treatment planning.

Implications:

  • Conservative treatment may be indicated based on a comprehensive assessment of clinical features.
  • Early detection and monitoring are vital for managing pigmented ciliary body tumors.
