The ERBB2 gene polymorphisms rs2643194, rs2934971, and rs1058808 are associated with increased risk of gastric cancer

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (5), 2019
Gastric cancer (GC) is the third most lethal type of cancer worldwide. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in regulatory sites or coding regions can modify the expression of genes involved in gastric carcinogenesis, as ERBB2, which encodes for the tyrosine-kinase receptor HER-2. The aim of this work w...

Distribution of molecular subtypes of advanced lung adenocarcinoma and clinical outcomes in a center of Argentina

Medicina (B.Aires); 78 (6), 2018
The prevalence of relevant oncogenic drivers in lung adenocarcinoma varies in our region and data on clinical outcomes is scarce. The objective of the study was to describe the prevalence of KRAS, BRAF and EGFR mutations and ALK translocations in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma, and to depict ...

Risk factors associated with the development of gastric cancer — case-control study

Tissue expresion of the genes mutyh and ogg1 in patients with sporadic colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT Background: MTUYH and OGG1 genes have importance in the base excision repair systems of oxidized DNA bases. Modification of the tissue expression of these genes is related to the increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Aim: To evaluate the tissue expression of MUTYH and OGG1 comparin...

Caracterización de pacientes con cáncer colorrectal esporádico basado en la nueva subclasificación molecular de consenso

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (4), 2017
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an heterogeneous disease. Three carcinogenic pathways determine its molecular profile: microsatellite instability (MSI), chromosomal instability (CIN) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Based on the new molecular classification, four consensus CRC molecular...

Analysis of gene expression EGFR and KRAS, microRNA-21 and microRNA-203 in patients with colon and rectal cancer and correlation with clinical outcome and prognostic factors

Acta cir. bras; 32 (3), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the expression of EGFR, KRAS genes, microRNAs-21 and 203 in colon and rectal cancer samples, correlated with their age at diagnosis, histological subtype, value of pretreatment CEA, TNM staging and clinical outcome. Methods: Expression of genes and microRNAs by real time ...

Alteración en la regulación de microRNAs en el cáncer gástrico: sobrerregulación de miR-21 y miR-106

El cáncer gástrico presenta una de las tasas de mortalidad más importante a nivel mundial, situación que es aún más preocupante en Colombia cuyas tasas son históricamente altas y en nuestro contexto regional particularmente para Boyacá, en la región nororiental de Colombia, es la primera causa d...

Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric cancer: a distinct molecular subtype of the disease?

Abstract: Approximately 90% of the world population is infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Usually, it infects B lymphocytes, predisposing them to malignant transformation. Infection of epithelial cells occurs rarely, and it is estimated that about to 10% of gastric cancer patients harbor EBV in their ...

Marcadores e mecanismos de resistência à terapia neoadjuvante e o papel das vesículas extracelulares secretadas pelas células tumorais no câncer de reto

O câncer de reto é o segundo tumor mais comum no intestino grosso correspondendo a um terço do total de casos de câncer colorretal (CCR). Pacientes com câncer de reto em estádios II e III são tratados com radioquimioterapia neoadjuvante seguida de ressecção cirúrgica do tumor. Análises das peÃ...

Study of Methylation Pattern of de Novo DNA Methyltransferase Genes and its Correlation with DNA Methylation Pattern of RUNX3 in Individuals with Gastric Cancer from Northern Region of Brazil

Int. j. morphol; 25 (4), 2007
Gastric cancer is the forth malignancy in frequency in the world. In the northern Brazil is the second neoplasia most frequent in males and the third most frequent in females. Genetic and epigenetic alterations are evolved on gastric carcinogenesis and DNA methylation is the epigenetic alteration better ...
