- 癌症基因组学 癌症基因组学
背景情况:
- 脑膜瘤中远程转移不常见,它们的分子基础仍然不清楚.
- 与大脑入侵的非典型脑膜瘤表明侵略性行为和复发的风险更高.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究与患有侵袭性脑膜瘤的患者中远程骨转移的发展相关的分子变化.
- 了解脑膜瘤在进展和转移过程中的基因组稳定性和演变.
主要方法:
- 下一代测序 (NGS) 和全基因组甲基化概况被用于分子分析.
- 分析了来自主要内部位,局部复发和骨转移的瘤样本.
主要成果:
- 从最初的瘤中存在多个染色体损失 (1p, 3p, 4q, 8p, 9p, 10p, 14q, 18q, 22q),并且保持稳定.

5.5K
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...

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...
