- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 头部和部癌症研究研究
背景情况:
- 人类乳头瘤病毒 (HPV) 相关的头癌会创造一个富有免疫力的瘤微环境.
- 与HPV相关的头癌复发后治疗中的免疫微环境尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究免疫细胞组成和空间分布在化学放射治疗后复发的HPV相关的头癌.
- 为了比较原发性瘤的瘤微环境与配对的复发性瘤.
主要方法:

The Tumor Microenvironment
6.7K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance

Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...
