"Epithelial cancers" refers to a category of cancers that develop in the cells that form the lining of our organs and tissues. These cancers specifically affect the epithelial cells, which cover surfaces such as the skin, organs, and blood vessels.
Full definition
Interestingly, long - term — cultured human
epithelial cancer cells in clonal cultures also form holoclones, meroclones, and paraclones, and tumor cell holoclones have been hypothesized to harbor stem - like cells or cancer stem cells.
Human epidemiological studies, clinical studies, and molecular studies show that Epstein - Barr virus can lead to four types of lymphoma — Burkitt, Hodgkin, immune - suppression - related non-Hodgkin, and nasal type extranodal NK / T - cell — and two types
of epithelial cancer — nasopharyngeal cancer and some types of stomach cancer.
The present results have important implications in understanding morphologic heterogeneities and tumorigenic hierarchies in
human epithelial cancer cells.
The observations made herein are unlikely restricted to only PC3 cells as Du145 holoclones can also be serially passaged and sustain long - term propagation (31) and many
other epithelial cancer cells form holoclones that also express CSC markers such as CD44 (30).
Cultured epithelial cancer cells, when plated at clonal densities, have been shown to behave like primary keratinocytes and form colonies of distinct morphologies (30, 31).
In summary, we addressed in this study the critical question of
whether epithelial cancer cell holoclones may contain stem - like cells.
Researchers at Oregon State University are pursuing a new concept in treatment
of epithelial cancer, especially head and neck cancer, by using two promising «analogs» of an old compound that was once studied as a potent anti-tumor agent, but long ago abandoned because it was too toxic.
Nanoparticle targeting of anticancer drug improves therapeutic response in animal model of
human epithelial cancer.
Similar to primary keratinocytes, long - term — cultured squamous cell carcinoma (30) and many
other epithelial cancer cells (30, 31) can also form different types of clones in culture.
We use multiple mouse models combined with in vitro approaches to address the pleiotropic functions of these cytokines which affect both
the epithelial cancer cells and the inflammatory infiltrate within tumors.
Particularly,
epithelial cancers of the respiratory tract are closely associated with this reduced cancer risk.
However, in the 2014 denial letter, the agency admitted that talc «may elicit a foreign - body - type reaction and inflammatory response that, in some exposed women, may progress to
epithelial cancers.»
This is a biomarker in close association with prostate, liver, lung, breast, and
epithelial cancers.
