Introduction. P16INK4a protein plays one of the key role in processes of cell proliferation, its inactivation is noted in a number of tumors of various localization. Restoration of the p16INK4a function in neoplastic cells may promote braking of division of tu…
Introduction. Skeletal involvement is a frequent and troublesome complication of breast malignant tumors. The accurate diagnosis of bone metastasis and well-timed prescription of the antiresorptive therapy are essential for reducing both severity and mortality…
Introduction. In spite of active research, no highly specific and sensitive marker of skin melanoma has been found so far. The aim of the study. Studying the level of stem cell factor (SCF), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), sCD44std, and heat shock proteins Hsp2…
Introduction. The features of pathogenesis of main tumors of the female reproductive system are determined by the impact of estrogen on target tissues. In this connection there appears the need to study the regulation of estrogen and progesterone receptors in …
Introduction. Interactions of exposed on the tumor cell surface or circulating in the bloodstream molecules MICA with activating receptor NKG2D play an important role in the regulation of antitumor immune response. Accumulation of soluble MICA compromises NKG2…
Introduction. One of the main types of a hormonal therapy in the treatment of the cancer of the prostate gland is the antagonists of the NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4) receptor. It blocks binding of man’s hormones with receptors site, …
Introduction. A novel 3S-paradigm of alternative experimental anti-cancer drug testing procedure was developed in parallel with a modern conception of personalized and predictive medicine to reveal both positive and negative effect in each experiment and topre…
Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs is a new direction aimed to delivery preparations capable of enhancing selectivity of action of drugs owing to the use of vector molecules. Targeted drug delivery system is the construction that includes three components: …
Introduction. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) – a family of extracellular zinc-containing proteases. There are currently 25 known MMP. Increased activity of MMP observed in some physiological processes – during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and du…
Introduction.Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is the second most common malignancy of the genitourinary tract. Cystoscopy and urine cytology are the traditional most used techniques for diagnosis and surveillance of superficial bladder cancer. Urinec…
Introduction.Uveal melanoma (UM) is one of the most frequent intraocular tumors. Mutations in new oncogenes GNAQ and GNA11 are found in more than 50% of UM. GNAQ gene and its homologue GNA11 are coding the alpha subunit of heterotrimeric G-protein with GTPase …
Introduction. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) signaling system plays a key role in development and progression of various malignant tumors, and its components may be considered as prospective diagnostic and prognostic markers and potential objects of target…
The content of VEGF and some components of plasminogen activation system (uPA, PAI-1 and tPA) was determined by enzyme immunoassay methods in the tumors from 121 endometrial cancer patients and in 18 samples of endometrial hyperplasia. Concentrations of uPA an…
The prognosis of one of the most commonly occurring malignancies worldwide – colorectal cancer (CRC) – depends on the development of disease recurrence and distant metastases, most frequently detected in the liver. The aim of our research was to study the asso…
RANK/RANKL/OPG system – is a key element in bone homeostasis. In this review we depict the basic principles of functioning of this system and known genetical anomalies affecting its components. Also we describe a number of pathological states associated with d…
The modern strategies of chemotherapy of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) based on the combination of cytotoxic and targeted angents resulted in significant increase of patient’s life duration. To study the action of anti-EGFR agents (panitumumab), which blo…
In the article a review of recent data on the molecular nature of neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (pancreatic NETs) is presented. The genetic basis of inherited syndromes associated with the development of pancreatic NETs: multiple endocrine neoplasia ty…
Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC) remains to be the actual problem in modern oncology due to the high mortality rate, asymptomatic course of the disease in the early stages and its aggressiveness. The aim was to study the genetic polymorphism of pathogene…
Immunohistochemical and molecular biological characterization of Ewing’s sarcoma family tumors is proposed. Immunophenotypical heterogeneity is shown to be noted, besides genome defects found in tumours.
The paper presents the results of our own investigation of abnormal methylation of tumor suppressor genes RASSF1A, P16, CDH1, LAMC3, DAPK in tumors and non-tumor tissues obtained from 64 patients with superficial bladder cancer. The purpose of the research is …
