Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy. MRNA is a type of RNA found in cells. mRNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins. They carry the information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made. Also called messenger RNA.
Preview- One can deduce that, the Lung Cancer Program has expertise in the common thoracic malignancies, including small-cell lung cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, and mesothelioma; smoking cessation; genetic susceptibility to tobacco smoke; genetic changes in lung cancer; m. RNA expression patterns; preclinical modeling of novel therapeutic approaches; clinical trials of novel therapies; and outcomes. Lung cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. The two main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These types are diagnosed based on how the cells look under a microscope. Thoracic, having to do with the chest. Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells. Mesothelioma is a benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer) tumor affecting the lining of the chest or abdomen. Exposure to asbestos particles in the air increases the risk of developing malignant mesothelioma. Therapeutic, having to do with treating disease and helping healing take place. Lung, one of a pair of organs in the chest that supplies the body with oxygen, and removes carbon dioxide from the body. Genetic susceptibility is an inherited increase in the risk of developing a disease. Also called genetic predisposition. Genetic, inherited; having to do with information that is passed from parents to offspring through genes in sperm and egg cells. Tobacco is a plant with leaves that have high levels of the addictive chemical nicotine. The leaves may be smoked (in cigarettes, cigars, and pipes), applied to the gums (as dipping and chewing tobacco), or inhaled (as snuff). Tobacco leaves also contain many cancer-causing chemicals, and tobacco use and exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke have been linked to many types of cancer and other diseases. The scientific name is Nicotiana tabacum.
- You can notice, ...(2009), Molecular determinants of efficacy for 5-FU-based treatments in advanced colorectal cancer m. RNA expression for 18 chemotherapy-related genes. Efficacy, effectiveness. In medicine, the ability of an intervention (for example, a drug or surgery) to produce the desired beneficial effect. Colorectal, having to do with the colon or the rectum. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. Colorectal cancer, cancer that develops in the colon (the longest part of the large intestine) and/or the rectum (the last several inches of the large intestine before the anus). 5-FU is a drug used to treat cancers of the breast, stomach, and pancreas, and certain types of colorectal and head and neck cancers. It is also used in a cream to treat basal cell skin cancer and actinic keratosis (a skin condition that may become cancer). It is being studied in the treatment of other conditions and types of cancer. 5-FU stops cells from making DNA and it may kill cancer cells. It is a type of antimetabolite. Also called 5-fluorouracil, Adrucil, Efudex, Fluoroplex, and fluorouracil.
