Serum protein patterns in adenocarcinoma of breast and rectum
Journal of the Indian Medical Association
|January 1, 1989
Abstract:
Serum protein patterns were studied in 27 cases of adenocarcinoma of breast and rectum by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Pretreatment and post-treatment cases showed different protein patterns. The increased number of bands in zone A in pretreatment rectal cancer cases decreased after chemotherapy. Thus, the number and position of bands before and after treatment and in different types of cancer may be used in diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...

01:30Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test
Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...
