Abstract:
This unusual case of concurrent eccrine adenocarcinoma, phyllodes tumor, and multinodular goiter serves to alert the oncologic community to the high prevalence of second cancers after childhood radiotherapy. Increased surveillance and index of suspicion are recommended to successfully diagnose and treat second primary cancers in this vulnerable population.

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 Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...
Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
