Tumor antigens or neoantigens are those antigens that are presented by MHC I or MHC II molecules on the surface of tumor cells.

Tumor specific antibodies are being used to target and destroy tumors with specific antigens.

* Tumor lysis syndrome, a group of metabolic complications that can occur after treatment of cancer

Tumor necrosis factor-α can be produced ectopically in the setting of malignancy and parallels parathyroid hormone both in causing secondary hypercalcemia and in the cancers with which excessive production is associated.

Tumor hypoxia can also be a result of the high degree of cell proliferation undergone in tumor tissue which causes a higher cell density and thus taxes the local oxygen supply.

Tumor size, mitotic rate, and location can be used to predict the risk of recurrence in GIST patients.

Tumor removal can also help to relieve compression in the brain, which consequently can decrease or eliminate peduncular hallucinosis.

Tumor viruses come in a variety of forms: viruses with a DNA genome, such as adenovirus, and viruses with an RNA genome, like the Hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) can cause cancers, as can retroviruses having both DNA and RNA genomes ( Human T-lymphotropic virus and hepatitis B virus, which normally replicates as a mixed double and single-stranded DNA virus but also has a retroviral replication component ).

Tumor markers can be produced directly by the tumor or by non-tumor cells as a response to the presence of a tumor.

Tumor markers can be detected by immunohistochemistry.

Tumor cells can be hypoxic and therefore less sensitive to X-rays that mediate most of their effects through free radicals produced by ionizing oxygen.

Tumor cells can be fibroblastic, myxoid, or pericytic.

Tumor grade is also important.

He also serves as the Director of the Tumor Imaging Core at the University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

It was formed by singer Chris Pohl ( also of the groups Terminal Choice, Tumor, and Miss Construction and the owner of the Fear Section label ) after he had to leave Seelenkrank due to contractual and legal problems.

The name was originally intended for Shannon's and John " Tumor " Fahnestock's side project MF Pitbulls which also included 3 / 5 of the future band Snot.

It was formed by singer Chris Pohl ( also of Blutengel, Tumor, Pain of Progress and owner of the Fear Section label ) in 1993.

Very high AFP levels may be subject to hooking ( see Tumor marker ), resulting in a reported high level that is nonetheless significantly lower than the actual level.

Some recent papers have argued that Tumor necrosis factor-alpha should simply be called tumor necrosis factor ( TNF ), as LT is no longer referred to as TNFβ.

Tumor suppressor p53 is responsible for the expression of the netrin-1, implicating that netrin may be the pathway through which p53 regulates the cell cycle.

Tumor cells exploit the selectin-dependent mechanisms mediating cell tethering and rolling interactions through recognition of carbohydrate ligands on tumor cell to enhance distant organ metastasis, showing ‘ leukocyte mimicry ’.

Tumor nodules are round to oval, grey or green ( if the tumor produces bile ), well circumscribed but not encapsulated.

Tumor necrosis factor ( TNF, cachexin, or cachectin, and formerly known as tumor necrosis factor-alpha or TNF-α ) is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and is a member of a group of cytokines that stimulate the acute phase reaction.

Tumor hypoxia is the situation where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen.

* Tumor spillage involving peritoneal surfaces either before or during surgery, or transected tumor thrombus.

Tumor cells may form gland-like round or elongated structures that resemble the embryologic ependymal canal, with long, delicate processes extending into the lumen ; more frequently present are perivascular pseudorosettes in which tumor cells are arranged around vessels with an intervening zone consisting of thin ependymal processes directed toward the wall of the vessel.

According to the American Brain Tumor Association, meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor, representing one-third of all such tumors.

* Stage 3: Tumor infiltrating across midline with or without regional lymph node involvement ; or unilateral tumor with contralateral lymph node involvement ; or midline tumor with bilateral lymph node involvement.

* Tumor counterattack: Tumors may over-express Fas ligand and induce the apoptosis of infiltrating lymphocytes, allowing the tumor to escape the effects of an immune response.

Tumor ( Latin for swelling, one of the cardinal signs of inflammation ) originally meant any form of swelling, neoplastic or not.

In addition to maintaining a permanent central file of illustrations of diseases, wounds, and injuries of military importance, it provides facilities for clinical photography, photomicrography, and medical arts, and operates a printing plant, by permission of Congressional Committee, for publication of an `` Atlas of Tumor Pathology ''.

Tumor cells require an ample amount of ATP ( Adenosine triphosphate ) in order to synthesize bioactive compounds such as lipids, proteins, and nucleotides for rapid cell proliferation.

It is one of the few Cancer Information Management programs in the nation to currently offer an Associate's Degree which is required to sit for the National Exam to become a Certified Tumor Registrar with the National Cancer Registrars Association starting in 2009.

The European orphan status vaccine and Russian approved vaccine / drug Oncophage, now renamed " vitespen ", are currently used at the Brain Tumor Research Center at the University of California, San Francisco, which has begun enrolling patients into a Phase 2 clinical trials in combination with the standard of care — radiation therapy plus temozolomide — for newly diagnosed glioma patients.
