Deficient Pms2, ERCC1, Ku86, CcOI in Field Defects During Progression to Colon Cancer
Published on: July 28, 2010
Abstract:
Proceeding from a comprehensive literature review, the new aspects of the etiopathogenesis of colorectal carcinoma are presented for the first time in this country. The updated etiopathogenetic postulates in cancerogenesis are discussed, namely: the low calcium diet is associated with carcinoma of the colon, fecapentaens are mutagens found in the feces, produced by intestinal flora against the background of dysbacteriosis, triketosteroids at high concentrations are found in populations at risk of carcinoma of the colon, free bile acids in the faces play a major role in the genesis of carcinoma of the colon, serum cholesterol and beta-lipoproteins are directly linked to carcinoma of the colon-a decrease in serum, cholesterol level is noted in patients with colorectal carcinoma. The finding of a definite gen in 17 and 18 chromosomes, having a tumor-suppressive and mutagenic effect, is the most important examination in the field of molecular biology.

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...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
