The dendritic cell-based cancer vaccine is an innovation in therapeutic strategy for cancer patients. Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells for the induction of antigen specific T cell response. [1] DC-based immunotherapy is safe and can promote antitumor immune responses and prolonged survival of cancer patients. [2]
Symptoms include: [5] intellectual disability (more than half of the patients have an IQ below 50) microcephaly; sometimes pancytopenia (low blood counts) cryptorchidism in males; low birth weight; dislocations of pelvis and elbow; unusually large eyes; blindness or visual impairment; large, low-set ears; small chin due to receded lower jaw
Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive and rare cancer that primarily occurs as masses in the abdomen. [4] Other areas affected may include the lymph nodes, the lining of the abdomen, diaphragm, spleen, liver, chest wall, skull, spinal cord, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, brain, lungs, testicles, ovaries, and the pelvis.
Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood or lymph with abnormal cells. [1] Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair. A parent cell divides to form two daughter cells, and these daughter cells are used to build new tissue or to replace cells that have died because ...

Globally, head and neck cancer accounts for 650,000 new cases of cancer and 330,000 deaths annually on average. In 2018, it was the seventh most common cancer worldwide, with 890,000 new cases documented and 450,000 people dying from the disease. [12] The risk of developing head and neck cancer increases with age, especially after 50 years.
During their wedding reception, the bride and groom shaved their heads and asked guests to donate to a cancer organization. The moment has gone viral with more than 5 million likes on TikTok.
Illustration of how a normal cell is converted to a cancer cell, when an oncogene becomes activated. A direct oncogenic viral mechanism [11] involves either insertion of additional viral oncogenic genes into the host cell or to enhance already existing oncogenic genes (proto-oncogenes) in the genome. For example, it has been shown that vFLIP ...
