Metastasis

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
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...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

This case study reports a rare instance of splenic metastasis in a patient with a history of Ewing sarcoma (ES). It highlights the importance of considering rare metastatic disease in patients with ES, even years after initial treatment.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Medical Case Reports

Background:

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a rare bone cancer primarily affecting adolescents and young adults.
Metastatic ES has a poor prognosis, with a 30% five-year survival rate.

Keywords:

Ewing sarcoma bone tumour extrapulmonary metastasis spine spleen
