Brain-tumor cell kinetics correlated with survival
Abstract:
In a review of 38 glioblastoma patients for whom fresh tissue kinetic data were available before any therapy was instituted, no correlation between the labeling index and survival time could be statistically determined. This relationship seems entirely consistent with the published theoretical determinants of tumor behavior: that is, altered ability for growth arrest and differentiation, constantly evolving mutant sublines, genetic instability, and an ever-changing metabolic and vascular environment.

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...
