Abstract:
Soft tissue tumors often present a clinical problem, and their histology is heterogeneous. It is only in the last 15 years that an internationally accepted classification has been widely used to assess prognosis and determine therapy. In the present article the important clinical aspects of treatment are presented in combination with new therapeutic and diagnostic discoveries. Immunohistochemistry is now more widely used as an accepted diagnostic method than electron microscopy.

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...

01:30Skin Cancer
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.
