Abstract:

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition occurs in the later stages of epithelial tumor progression, with cells expressing mesenchymal markers. Of these, the intermediate filament protein vimentin is frequently upregulated in metastatic carcinomas. Previously, microarray studies showed that the gene encoding vimentin is highly upregulated in metastatic HN12 cells compared to a related primary tumor cell line. In this study, we confirmed this difference using real-time quantitative PCR, western blot analysis, and immunostaining. Furthermore, EGF and TGF-β, growth factors that induce migration and i

Abstract:

In dogs with large primary tumors, regional lymph node involvement or evidence of distant metastasis can have worse prognoses and significantly decreased survival. Lymph node size alone has been shown to be insufficient as a predictor for the accurate clinical staging of some canine neoplasia, including oral malignant melanoma. However, regional lymph nodes of the oral cavity, such as the medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes, are difficult to access for routine sampling. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has demonstrated the ability to differentiate metastatic from inflammator

Abstract:

Introduction: Head and Neck cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNcSCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world and is particularly prevalent in Australia. Regional metastasis remains one of the most important determinants of survival but predicting which lesions metastasise remains a challenge. Current staging systems have been shown to poorly stratify patient survival. Methodology: Three studies were initiated: (1) A prospective trial of patients with high risk primary HNcSCC underwent sentinel node biopsy (SNB) to identify subclinical metastasis. Patients were followed to determine t

Squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN) spread predominantly by local invasion and lymphatic dissemination. The aim of this project was to learn more about the molecular mechanisms of lymphatic metastasis in this disease. EGFR is a major driver of progression, invasion and metastasis in SCCHN. Ip. addition, signalling via chemokine receptors such as CXCR4 and CCR7 and the lymphangiogenic cytokine receptor VEGFR-3 has been implicated in lymphatic metastasis. My first aim was to measure expression levels in SCCHN cell lines, determine their interactions with EGFR and the signalling

Abstract Traditional clinicopathological factors are not accurate enough to predict the behavior of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The most powerful indicator of prognosis is the stage of the disease. New prognostic markers have, however, been searched for in order to better identify patient groups in need of different treatments or follow-up. Gelatinases (MMP-2, -9) are endopeptidases associated with tumor invasion and angiogenesis, and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-1, -2) are also linked to cancer cell invasion and metastasis formation.

Abstract:

Metastases are considered the last stage of tumour progression and the main cause of death associated to solid tumours. There are no effective treatments for metastasis which remain non- curable with more than 90% of patients dying from metastatic disease. They derive from disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) that can remain occult in a dormant state while adapting to the new microenvironment. By mechanisms that are still unclear, dormant DTCs can re-activate and become proliferative giving rise to metastatic outgrowth. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which metastases are formed is esse
