Quantitation of Intra-peritoneal Ovarian Cancer Metastasis
Published on: July 18, 2016
Abstract:
The regional metastases of lingual cancer T1-T4 were studied in 240 patients. In 104 of the cases (48.3%) metastases were found in the lymphatic nodes. The occurrence and the peculiarities of the metastases were assessed with respect to the spreading of a primary tumor, its topography and the variant of anatomical growth. The scheme is presented depicting the position of particular groups of regional lymphatic nodes afflicted and their involvement analyzed. Metastases were directly correlated to the dimensions of a primary tumor. They were more frequent (42.5%) in submandibular and jugular-bigastric lymphatic nodes.

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...
