Abstract:
The study was organized to investigate the anomalous methylation of genes NA?1, RASSF1A, MLH1, N33, DAPK, the expression of genes hTERT. metalloproteinase MMP7, MMP9, survivin. COX-2, p53. The activity of telomerase in 106 samples of stomach tumors taken through intra-operation way and 53 samples of stomach tumors taken through endoscopic way and 50 samples of biopsy taken from patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis (comparison group) was analyzed too. These changes can be used as additional markers both in diagnostic of cancer of stomach and dynamic monitoring of operated patients.

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-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
