Abstract:
An analysis of 936 women with granulosa- and theca-cell tumors reported to the Swedish Cancer Registry between 1958 and 1972 showed crude annual incidence rates for these lesions of 0.72 and 0.74, respectively, pre 100 000 of the female population, unchanged during the period. The age-specific incidence rates, both groups taken together, increased almost linearly from 35 to 69 years. The women displayed an increased risk of developing endometrial carcinoma and malignant lymphoma, possibly also breast, colon and thyroid carcinoma.

Oogenesis
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...

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...
