Protein kinase C alpha-dependent signaling mediates endometrial cancer cell growth and tumorigenesis.

29 Nov 2009 Endometrial cancer is the most common invasive gynecologic malignancy, yet molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying its etiology and pathophysiology remain poorly characterized. We sought to define a functional role for the protein ... Read more...

Functional images reflect aggressiveness of endometrial carcinoma: estrogen receptor expression combined with 18F-FDG PET.

14 Sep 2009 The grade of histologic differentiation is one of the most important prognostic factors in patients with endometrial carcinoma and postoperative staging. The aim of this study was to investigate whether 16alpha-(18)F-fluoro-17beta-estradiol ... Read more...

Erythropoietin receptors in endometrial carcinoma as related to HIF1{alpha} and VEGF expression.

30 Aug 2009 Erythropoietin receptors (EpoRs) are expressed in a large percentage of cells in many human malignancies, including endometrial adenocarcinoma. In such tumors, administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEpo) during radiotherapy and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Endometrial Neoplasms'

Definition: Tumors or cancer of ENDOMETRIUM, the mucous lining of the UTERUS. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. Their classification and grading are based on the various cell types and the percent of undifferentiated cells.
