Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
![Blurred answer](/static/compass_v2/solution-images/blurred-answer.jpg)
- Which component of cell division machinery is frequently targeted by anti-cancer drugs? Can you explain the common side-effects of chemotherapy (e.g. hair loss, mucositis) based on this information?Name the six fundamental properties of malignant tumours. Which of these properties are amenable to study in a cell culture model of cancer and why?What is the significance of studying cell movement, particulary the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, in the study of cancer?
- Excessive angiogenesis and reduced apoptosis are two of the six characteristics that define cancerous tumors. Discuss how developing treatments for these two conditions might prevent the development of cancer altogether from pre-malignant tumors.Discuss why certain cell types are less likely and others are more likely to develop cancer than others.How would our understanding of this regulation affect cancer prognosis and treatment?
- Why is it important to model cancer through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells ? Please list item by item. Explain in detail the main findings.What is the relationship betweenobesity and cancer?The growth fraction of the cancer types A 8, C, and D are 23%, 45%, 56%, and 78%, respectively. Which type of cancer is more suceptible to the chemotherapy?
- How cancer can be detect and what are its diagnosis?In order for certain cancers to propagate, they require a growth factor known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). What does VEGF signal the cell to do and how does this promote the propagation of cancer cells?For many years, targeted therapies for cancer treatment continue to be developed, however more and more patients are developing resistance to targeted therapies. Discuss one mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies for cancer and provide an example of how might creatively combat it using clinical concepts.
