Do ultrastructural changes in aged peritoneum contribute to ovarian cancer metastasis? [abstract]
(2010)Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) will affect 1 in 69 women born in the United States today. Currently, 80% of women newly diagnosed with EOC already have metastatic disease, thus early intervention during the metastatic ... -
Integrin-linked kinase : a potential player in ovarian cancer metastesis [abstract]
(2010)Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fifth leading cause of overall cancer death among American women. In 2008, 15,520 deaths were directly attributed to EOC, and an additional 21,650 cases were diagnosed. When EOC is ... -
Kallikrein-5 promotes cleavage of desmoglein-1 and loss of cell-cell cohesion in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the top 10 causes of cancer deaths worldwide, with a 50% 5-year survival rate, necessitating the discovery ... -
Membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase proteolytic activity in initial adhesive and invasive events of ovarian cancer metastasis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies, generally developing in women over the age of forty. When EOC are diagnosed prior to metastatic dissemination, the overall 5-year survival ... -
Microenvironmental regulation of ovarian cancer dissemination via activation of the Wnt signaling pathway
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Disseminating single cells and multicellular aggregates (MCAs) and experience compressive forces exerted upon them by ascites fluid and are exposed to lysophosphatidic acid, aberrantly adhesive mesothelium and a collagen-rich ... -
MicroRNA mir-146a expression in oral cancer tissues [abstract]
(2010)Recent advances in basic research have shown that the expression and function of microRNAs impact on gene expression regulation networks extensively. Ever increasing new knowledge from microRNA studies should be translated ... -
Modeling peritoneal metastases of ovarian cancer [abstract]
(2010)The majority of women with ovarian cancer (EOC) are diagnosed with disseminated ip metastasis leading to a poor prognosis. Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecological cancer in the US due primarily to late diagnosis ...
