Introduction. Inflammatory myofibroblastic neoplasm (IMN) of the spleen is extremely rare. It is often benign lesion, represented mainly by fusiform myofibroblasts and inflammatory cells (plasma, lymphocytes and eosinophilic granulocytes). Clinically, the sple…
Personalized medicine implements new methods of molecular diagnostic for increasing the efficacy of the treatment of patients and the verification of the liability to diseases. Thus the search, development and applying modern methods and technologies of biomed…
Introduction. Giant cell tumors (GCT) of bones are benign tumors with the potential for the aggressive course and ability to metastasize. GCT accounts for approximately 5% of all primary bone tumors. Materials and methods. The clinical case of the patient L., …
Dendritic cells (DC), as professional antigen-presenting cells with functional plasticity, are widely studied in preclinical and clinical research of vaccines against various types of malignant tumors. Some of the studies DС have proved their efficiency. Howev…
Introduction. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are less sensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs than other tumor cells, play a key role in the initiation and development of the tumor process. Maintenance of CSCs determines the risk of cancer recurrence. The aim of …
Introduction. The telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT) promoter region is frequently mutated in different types of cancer. Several studies have shown patients who carry the mutation –245T>C (rs2853669) to have a worse prognosis. The aim of the study is…
Introduction. The molecular mechanisms of the development of the prostate tumor pathology are associated with the activation of both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent signaling pathways, accompanied by the development of chronic inflammation and hypo…
Introduction. Leiomyomas also called fibroids, is the most common benign gynecological tumor in premenopausal women. The complex pathogenesis shows multiple biogenetical and multifactorial aspects to influence the etiology and growth of leiomyomas. A clinical …
Introduction. In recent years, there have been aroused and actively studied mutations associated with Toll-like receptor genes (TLRs). The emerging interest is related to the identification of many associations between the TLRs polymorphism and the development…
Background. Genotyping of the tumor samples is necessary for a personalized approach in the treatment of patients with malignancies. The identification of somatic mutations in EGFR and KRAS genes can help to predict the course of the disease and to individuali…
The review presents data on the role of the nuclear factor NF-κB and the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL) in the development of kidney cancer. Chemo- and radioresistance, specific for renal cell carcinoma, represented a significant problem in the treatment of p…
Introduction. Her2/neu is one of the most studied molecular target the overexpression of which is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive course of the disease. The use of modern non-invasive radionuclide techniques with the application of highly affinit…
Introduction. The brain injury induced during radiotherapy and chemotherapy is largely dependent on a disruption of neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus as a result of the neural stem cells (NSCs) damage. The aim of the …
The review of the literature on suicide gene therapy is presented. The therapeutic method is based on the transfection of tumor cells with a construct including the gene of the enzyme converting the substrate – the prodrug demonstrating low toxicity into a hig…
Introduction. The study of molecular mechanisms of the development of kidney cancer is one of the actual problems in oncology. There is conflicting information about the importance of steroid hormone receptors in the kidney cancer. The aim of the study was to …
Introduction. The search of molecular markers for early diagnostics, prognosis, and identification of new objects for molecular-targeted therapy of primary bone tumors remains one of the most important tasks despite the significant achievements in the treatmen…
Introduction.The telomerase activity is a universal marker for 85% of malignant tumors. This allows us to develop modern highly sensitive and highly specific kits for the diagnosis of most malignant tumors, including early stages of the disease. Existing metho…
Introduction. The clinical use of the antitumor drug etoposide is associated with many side effects, limiting its application in the clinical practice. One of the ways to reduce the toxicity and increase the effectiveness of the action of etoposide can be its …
Introduction. Despite the continuous improvement of the surgical method of treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there is no noticeable tendency to improve survival data. This 5-year index does not exceed 15–25%. In this regard, it is …
Diagnosis and determination of tumor process in patients with prostate cancer are the most urgent problems of modern оncology. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is one of the most promising molecular targets for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The le…
