1 day ago · Ovarian borderline tumors, also known as low malignant potential (LMP) ovarian tumors, do not cause an increase in CA125 levels and are not identifiable with an ultrasound. The typical symptoms of an LMP tumor can include abdominal distension or pelvic pain. Particularly large masses tend to be benign or borderline.
5 days ago · Cancer - Tumor Effects, Symptoms, Treatment: The signs and symptoms of benign or malignant tumours result for the most part from the local effects of either the primary tumour or its metastases. In some cases the primary tumour and the secondary metastases do not progress at the same pace, and in such an instance the primary tumour may manifest itself while the metastases do not cause symptoms ...

Specifically, it is a cancer of a type of white blood cell called the B-lymphocyte. In CLL there is a progressive accumulation of too many mature lymphocytes, which are usually monoclonal or genetically identical.
2 days ago · Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. It is used during early development to eliminate unwanted cells; for example, those between the fingers of a developing hand. In adults, apoptosis is used to rid the body of cells that have been damaged beyond repair. Apoptosis also plays a role in preventing cancer.
1 day ago · “Our study had a 0, 1.2, 58.3, and 73.6% malignancy risk for TR2, TR3, TR4, and TR5, respectively,” wrote the authors. “We recommend the combination of TR4 and TR5 as a predictor for malignancy of thyroid nodules, because if we consider TR5 alone as conclusive for malignant thyroid nodules diagnosis, the ACR TI-RADS will miss a relevant ...
5 days ago · The common and more specific definition of malignancy implies an inherent tendency of the tumour’s cells to metastasize (invade the body widely and become disseminated by subtle means) and eventually to kill the patient unless all the malignant cells can be eradicated. Metastasis is thus the
2 days ago · Definition. An oncogene is a mutated gene that has the potential to cause cancer. Before an oncogene becomes mutated, it is called a proto-oncogene, and it plays a role in regulating normal cell division. Cancer can arise when a proto-oncogene is mutated, changing it into an oncogene and causing the cell to divide and multiply uncontrollably.
