Introduction. Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 are observed approximately in the half of all human malignancies. In bladder cancer (BC), ТР53 molecular alterations were shown to be associated with more aggressive tumor phenotype; however their clini…
Introduction. The search for criteria for the prediction of the efficacy of targeted therapies will allow not only to optimize the readings, but also to improve the results of treatment of patients with metastatic kidney cancer. The aim of the study is the inv…
Introduction: Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR), IGR-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and IGBP proteases can play an important role in the development of metastases in ovarian cancer. The relationship between IGF syste…
Introduction. Despite extensive researches, no molecular markers are currently available for predicting progression of squamous cell head and neck carcinoma. The paper presents results of pilot study of proteins in blood serum of healthy volunteers and patient…
Introduction. Hormonal aspect in the pathogenesis of melanoma development is still poorly studied. Tumor transplantation to experimental animals allows to study the effect of malignant process on different systems and organs, detect the saturation of tumor and…
Introduction. Nuclear medicine imaging is widely used in oncology for the assessment of pathophysiologic changes occurring in a tumor. In this regard, the intensive study of diagnostic efficiency of the existing radiopharmaceuticals and the search for the new …
Introduction. Most cases of gastric cancer (GC) occur sporadically. Until recently, diffuse hereditary gastric cancer associated with the CDH1 gene mutations was considered the only hereditary form (about 1–3% of all tumors of the stomach). However, a signific…
Introduction. Determination of the functional activity of the endometrium at the molecular-cellular level opens new perspectives for diagnosis and correction processes of accelerated aging and pathology of the female’s reproductive system. Objective – learning…
Introduction. KRAS mutations play a critical role in human tumorigenesis and are the most prevalent in colorectal cancer. Because KRAS is the most frequently mutated factor downstream of the EGFR signaling pathway, it was considered to be a candidate molecular…
Introduction. The elevated expression of components of DNA repair system ERCC1 (excision repair cross-complementing group 1) and XPD (Xeroderma pigmentosum group D) is associated with the lack of efficacy of DNA–damaging cytotoxic platinum-based preparations. …
Introduction. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the most common mesenchymal tumors of GI tract, are characterized by KIT and PDGFRA activating mutations that are predictive factors. KIT and PDGFRA mutations are present in 85% of GISTs and are associated…
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of malignant liver cancer characterized by late detection time and highly aggressiveness. The main risk factors for HCC development are chronic infections of hepatitis B and C viruses, cirrhosis, liver …
There is represented immunohistochemical and molecular biological characteristic of some histological types of breast cancer. The assessment of molecular biomarkers in breast cancer has two practical results: identification of risk groups, requiring additional…
The key role in the achievement of the main goals of personalized medicine in oncology i.e. treatment choice according to patient’s individual characteristics and biological properties of the tumor belongs to tumor molecular markers characterizing the specific…
The formation of properties promoting malignant transformation begins before the appearance of tumor cells at the level of inflammatory and precancerous processes. The basis for these properties is genomic instability of tumor cells. Genetic instability manife…
The most important event in the molecular biology of the last years is the discovery of the regulation of intracellular processes by micro RNAs – a product of complicated processing of precursor RNAs synthesized on nuclear genes, that are playing the key role …
Prediction of clinical outcome of breast cancer (BC) is a multi-level process that includes the clinical and anatomical assessment both of the disease and the expression levels of proteins, DNA and RNA. This article discusses the application of traditional and…
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) constitute a heterogeneous group of relatively rare neoplasms, incidence of which has increased in the last decades. These tumors are composed of cells with a neuroendocrine phenotype and may occur in any organ, but are most often …
Among oncology diseases the primary bone tumors make up to 0,7–2,0% of all malignancies. The peak of morbidity caused by bone tumors falls on the age of person’s social activity. Bone tumors are one of the most aggressive among malignant human tumors. That’s w…
Gastric cancer (GC) arises through a multistep process characterized by the progressive accumulation of molecular alterations of tumor cells that is involving genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. GC is a very complex and heterogeneous disease, and although much …
