TLDR
The synergistic effect of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) in the successful outgrowth of metastasis is focused on, integrating therefore many of the emerging models and theories in the field.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: The Origin, Biological Characteristics and Role in Cancer—A Glance on Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: Tumor microenvironment is a major contributor to tumor growth, metastasis and resistance to therapy, which consists of many cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which derive from different types of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher Ki67 expression in fibroblast like cells at invasive front indicates better clinical outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.

TL;DR: It is shown that higher Ki67 expression in FLCs at IF indicated better clinical outcomes for OSCC patients and Cox multivariate analysis revealed that Ki67expression in F LCs atIF could not be an independent prognostic factor for OS CC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transdifferentiation of type II alveolar epithelial cells induces reactivation of dormant tumor cells by enhancing TGF-β1/SNAI2 signaling.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tumor cells may promote AEC II transdifferentiation, which may induce the reactivation of 3D-established DTCs by promoting TGF-β1/SNAI2 signaling and provide novel therapeutic strategies for the inhibition of the dormant-to-proliferating switch.
Dissertation

Novel role of lymphatic and blood vasculatures in breast cancer growth and metastasis and peptide agents with anti-lymphangiogenic and anti-angiogenic activity

Esak Lee
TL;DR: This book presents a meta-anatomy of the determinants of infectious disease and some of the immune responses to these diseases have been described in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of a Desmoplastic Tumor Microenvironment for Colon Cancer Drug Sensitivity: A Study with 3D Chimeric Tumor Spheroids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an in vitro 3D co-culture model in a microwell 3D (μ-well 3D) cell-culture array platform to mimic the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Global cancer statistics

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis

TL;DR: A model for the genetic basis of colorectal neoplasia that includes the following salient features is presented, which may be applicable to other common epithelial neoplasms, in which tumors of varying stage are more difficult to study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor Angiogenesis: Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: This new capillary growth is even more vigorous and continuous than a similar outgrowth of capillary sprouts observed in 2016 and is likely to be accompanied by neovascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer

TL;DR: The principal mechanisms that govern the effects of inflammation and immunity on tumor development are outlined and attractive new targets for cancer therapy and prevention are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease

TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.
