Spontaneous regression of advanced endometrial carcinoma
Abstract:
The phenomenon of spontaneous regression of cancer is rarely seen or proven, but the sporadic cases reported encourage scientists from the various fields of human biology to search for an explanation for these amazing anecdotal events. Metastatic endometrial carcinoma has a grave prognosis and few patients survive more than 5 years. A case of Stage IV endometrial carcinoma in a patient who received partial treatment but has survived for 18 years without evidence of disease is presented. Apparently, spontaneous regression does occur, although the characteristics of such a phenomenon are yet unknown.

02:07Tumor 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...
