Book New Research on Esophageal Cancer

Download or read book New Research on Esophageal Cancer written by Henry K. Kinner and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumour of the esophagus, the muscular tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach. Esophageal cancer occurs most often in men over 50 years old. There are two main types of esophageal cancer, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. These two types are distinguished by the way they look under the microscope. Squamous cell cancer is associated with smoking and alcohol consumption. The incidence of this disease in the United States has remained relatively constant, while the incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus has risen dramatically. Barrett's esophagus, a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a risk factor for the development of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Risk factors for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus include male gender, obesity, western diet, and smoking. This book presents new advances in this field of cancer research.

Book Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Download or read book Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma written by Nobutoshi Ando and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of the book, covering a wide spectrum of the latest information relevant to diagnosis and treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In recent years the incidence rate of esophageal cancer has been increasing; however, the background characteristics of the cancer treatment are significantly different between Asian and Western countries. In tumor histology, ESCC associated with smoking and alcohol consumption is overwhelmingly prevalent in Asia, whereas adenocarcinoma associated with Barrett’s metaplasia is remarkably prevalent in the West. In Asia, especially in Japan, surgeons play a significant role in the management of esophageal cancer patients, while medical and radiation oncologists as well as surgeons are important in the West. Considering these East–West differences in management of esophageal cancer, evidence originating in Asia should be more widely disseminated globally. The contributing authors, who have great expertise in their areas of specialization, discuss details in terms of treatment of ESCC, including basic science, diagnosis, surgery, other treatment modalities, Japanese guidelines, and also valuable experiences from other Asian countries. Accordingly, this excellent collection of texts benefits not only oncologists, but all medical and biological researchers involved in the latest ESCC research.

Abstract: Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has been increasing in incidence, but knowledge of the genetic basis of this disease remains limited. In general, esophageal carcinoma can be divided into two main types: Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC). The pathogenesis of esophageal carcinoma still remains unclear, although some risk factors like chronic irritation, or chronic inflammation which may be caused by diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or unhealthy lifestyles like smoking have been proved to be related to the carcinogenic process. Diagnosis and treatment for this kind of cancer have continue to develop and evolve, but the 5-year overall survival rate is still relatively low. Therefore, it is clinically important to identify any potential genetic changes which may help us to discover some useful biomarker targets for the further development of more direct and harmless targeted therapy for our esophageal cancer patients. Objectives: In this study, I aimed to identify some potential oncogenic microRNA (miRNA) and to study their clinical meaning in ESCC patients. Methods: Microarray was applied to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in ESCC tumour tissue, compared with corresponding adjacent non-tumour esophageal tissue. One candidate oncogenic miRNA, miR-665, was investigated in the present study. After testing the expression level of miR-665 in ESCC cell lines and patients' samples with RT-PCR, miR-665 stably expressing cells was established using two ESCC cell lines (KYSE30 and KYSE510). Functional characterization was then conducted using in vitro and in vivo assays to examine the effect of miR-665 towards the development of ESCC. Bioinformatic software such as Target Scan was used to generate a list of predicted target genes that may be modulated by miR-665. Results: The high expression of miR-665 has been confirmed in ESCC tissues and cell lines, showing the potential carcinogenic function of miR-665. Ectopic expression of miR-665 also demonstrates its ability to enhance tumour growth and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatic analysis of miR-665 predicted targets showed putative binding sites for miR-665 within the 3'UTR region of NLK. Conclusions: This study has identified a novel miRNA and a related gene which might play an important role in the pathogenesis of ESCC, affecting the cancer process and tumour growth. This may help to find potential new biomarker for the future improvement and development of new treatment of ESCC patients.

Book Oncogene Activation in Esophageal Cancer

Download or read book Oncogene Activation in Esophageal Cancer written by Alan G. Casson and published by R. G. Landes. This book was released on 1992 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oesophageal cancer is a particulary virulent gastrointestinal malignancy with poor prognosis. Changing patterns for this cancer have recently been observed in developed countries, and recently a 10% yearly increase in the rate of occurrence for primary adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus in North America was found, which exceeds that of any other malignancy. New techniques in molecular genetics have permitted the study of a number of human solid tumours at both the NDA and RNA levels, contributing significantly to our understanding of the multistep process of tumour development. This book reviews underlying molecular genetic events associated with the development of oesophageal cancer. The book also emphasizes the relationship of these events to other etiologic factors and premalignant conditions (such as Barrett's oesophagus).
