  2. Bone metastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_metastasis

    Typically, osteolytic metastases are more aggressive than osteoblastic metastases, which have a slower course. Regardless of the phenotype, bone metastases commonly show osteoclast proliferation and hypertrophy. [5] Primary tumors. Osteoblastic lesions [6] Prostate cancer; Carcinoid; Small cell lung cancer; Hodgkin lymphoma; Medulloblastoma ...

  3. Osteolytic lesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteolytic_lesion

    Osteolytic lesion at the bottom of the radius, diagnosed by a darker section that indicates a loss of bone density. An osteolytic lesion (from the Greek words for "bone" (ὀστέον), and "to unbind" (λύειν)) is a softened section of a patient's bone formed as a symptom of specific diseases, including breast cancer and multiple myeloma.

  4. LNCaP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNCaP

    It is well established that human PCa bone metastasis form osteoblastic lesions rather than osteolytic lesions seen in other cancers like breast cancer. [4] [5] Similarly, PC-3 and DU145 cells form osteolytic tumors. To develop an AI-PCa cell model that more closely mimics clinical disease, LNCaP sublines have been generated to provide the most ...

  5. Osteosarcoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteosarcoma

    Specifically, it is an aggressive malignant neoplasm that arises from primitive transformed cells of mesenchymal origin (and thus a sarcoma) and that exhibits osteoblastic differentiation and produces malignant osteoid. [1] Osteosarcoma is the most common histological form of primary bone sarcoma. [2] It is most prevalent in teenagers and young ...

  6. Brain metastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_metastasis

    A brain metastasis is a cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the brain from another location in the body and is therefore considered a secondary brain tumor. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The metastasis typically shares a cancer cell type with the original site of the cancer. [ 3 ]

  7. Osteoprotegerin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoprotegerin

    Most bone metastases result in osteolytic lesions, however prostate cancer causes osteoblastic lesions characterised by excess bone formation and high bone density. [44] Prostate cancer releases cytokines such as insulin-like growth factor (IGF), endothelin-1 , bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), sclerostin and Wnt proteins that act on local ...

  8. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

    A CT of the brain revealed a lytic lesion in the left temporal bone (right side of image), and petrous temporal bones involving the mastoid segment of the facial nerve canal. Red arrows: lesion; green arrow: normal contralateral facial nerve canal. The lesions are consistent with a myeloma deposit.

  9. Giant-cell tumor of bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-cell_tumor_of_bone

    It is a heterogeneous tumor composed of three different cell populations. The giant-cell tumour stromal cells (GCTSC) constitute the neoplastic cells, [3] which are from an osteoblastic origin and are classified based on expression of osteoblast cell markers such as alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. In contrast, the mononuclear histiocytic ...
