Chapter
Inflammatory Components of the Thyroid Cancer Microenvironment: An Avenue for Identification of Novel Biomarkers
The incidence of thyroid cancer in the United States is on the rise with an appreciably high disease recurrence rate of 20–30%. Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), although rare in occurrence, is an aggressive fo...

Disruption of Cell-Cell Communication in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer as an Immunotherapeutic Opportunity
Thyroid cancer incidence is increasing at an alarming rate, almost tripling every decade. About 44,280 new cases of thyroid cancer (12,150 in men and 32,130 in women) are estimated to be diagnosed in 2021, wit...

Expression of Selected Aurora A Kinase Substrates in Solely Estrogen-induced Ectopic Uterine Stem Cell Tumors in the Syrian Hamster Kidney
Sustained over-expression of Aurora A (AurA), centrosome amplification, chromosomal instability, and aneuploidy are salient features that occur in high frequency in human breast premalignant stages and in prim...

Estrogen-Induced Breast Oncogenesis: Modulation by an Aurora Kinase Inhibitor
Breast cancer (BC) alone accounts for about 32% of all cancers occurring in women in industrialized countries, and thus, is clearly an immense world wide public health concern. More than 90% of all human BC ca...

Sex Hormone-binding Globulin Influences Gene Expression of LNCaP and MCF-7 Cells in Response to Androgen and Estrogen Treatment
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), a plasma protein that binds androgens and estrogens, also participates in the initial steps of a membrane-based steroid signaling pathway in human prostate and breast. We h...

Chapter
Characterization of Genetic Polymorphism of Glycine N-Methyltransferase Gene in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Previously, we reported that glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) expression levels were diminished in human liver cancer. Herein, the polymorphisms of GNMT in 5 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 2 hepatoblasto...

Chapter
Cytogenetic Analysis of Genomic Destabilization in Solely Estrogen-Induced Female ACI Rat Mammary Neoplasms
A high frequency of aneuploid cells in carcinoma in-situ (CIS) and in small and large mammary tumors of female ACI rats are induced by estrogen (E) treatment alone. Employing G-banding karyotype analysis, consist...

Chapter
Polymorphism of the Estrogen Receptor-β Gene in Breast Cancer
Microsatellite polymorphism may influence gene expression or receptor signaling function. In cancer, microsatellite sequences, even when located in non-coding regions of a gene, are capable of modifying the su...
