cells especially.
First of all, we can raise a question on its efficacy. To make this new concept of curing cancer to be
widely available, a high NSC/tumorcell ratio certainly seems to be a crucial problem to be solved in the
near future. For instance, one group transduced a murine NSC line ex vivo to express an enzyme, then
implanted the transduced NSCs along with a rat glioma cell line
tumors are of epithelial origin, the remainder being mesenchymal tumors (Table 21-2). Most epithelial tumors are composed of urothelial (transitional) type cells and are thus interchangeably called urothelial or transitional tumors, but squamous and glandular carcinomas also occur. Here, we discuss the urothelial celltumors in some detail and only touch on the others.
1. Urothelial (Transitio
Tumors of Epithelial Tissue Origin)
1) 편평상피세포암(Squamous cell carcinoma)
편평상피세포암은 구강점막 상피에서 유래되어 결합조직(connective tissue)으로
침투하는 구강영역 악성종양의 대부분을 차지하여 통상 구강점막암이라고도 불린다.
① 구순암(carcinoma of the lip)
하순에서 호발하며, 구순
Box1. 혈중 종양세포의 정량
혈중 종양세포(circulating tumorcells, CTCs)의 개수는 종양 전이의 민감한 생체지표이다. 따라서 CTC 정량은 암을 진단하고 단계를 판별('staging')하는데 그리고 잔존질환이 있는지를 조사하는데에 유용한 방법으로 떠오르고 있다. 이러한 임상적 중요성 때문에, 이 떠오르는 기술은
