  2. Signs and symptoms of cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs_and_symptoms_of_cancer

    Cancer symptoms are changes in the body caused by the presence of cancer. They are usually caused by the effect of a cancer on the part of the body where it is growing, although the disease can cause more general symptoms such as weight loss or tiredness. There are more than 100 different types of cancer with a wide range of signs and symptoms ...

  3. Coagulative necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulative_necrosis

    Coagulative necrosis can be induced for treatments of cancers. Radiofrequency (RF) energy can be used in liver resection surgeries to produce coagulative necrosis, creating a coagulative necrosis zone. This coagulates the liver resection margins and is useful in liver resection surgeries for helping to stop bleeding within the resection margin ...

  4. AL amyloidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AL_amyloidosis

    AL amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of abnormal antibody free light chains. The abnormal light chains are produced by monoclonal plasma cells, and, although AL amyloidosis can occur without diagnosis of another disorder, it is often associated with other plasma cell disorders, such as multiple myeloma and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. [6]

  5. Necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrosis

    Coagulative necrosis is characterized by the formation of a gelatinous (gel-like) substance in dead tissues in which the architecture of the tissue is maintained, [7] and can be observed by light microscopy. Coagulation occurs as a result of protein denaturation, causing albumin to transform into a firm and opaque state. [6]

  6. Denaturation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturation_(biochemistry)

    Protein denaturation is also a consequence of cell death. [4] [5] Denatured proteins can exhibit a wide range of characteristics, from conformational change and loss of solubility or dissociation of cofactors to aggregation due to the exposure of hydrophobic groups. The loss of solubility as a result of denaturation is called coagulation. [6]

    Exact signs and symptoms of DLHA are anemia-alike [3] (dyspnea, palpitations, fatigue, pallor and hemolysis-alike [3] (jaundice, dark urine and pain). Some signs and symptoms indicate a medical emergency and that the patients with DLHA require to be hospitalized: [11] Rapidly progressive anemia; Worsening anemia; Severe anemia; Respiratory distress

  8. p53 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53

    p53, also known as Tumor protein P53, cellular tumor antigen p53 (UniProt name), or transformation-related protein 53 (TRP53) is a regulatory protein that is often mutated in human cancers. The p53 proteins (originally thought to be, and often spoken of as, a single protein) are crucial in vertebrates , where they prevent cancer formation. [ 5 ]

  9. p16 - Wikipedia

    However, some people can have elevated levels of p16 but test negative for HPV and vice versa. This is known as discordant cancer. The 5-year survival for people who test positive for HPV and p16 is 81%, for discordant cancer it is 53–55%, and 40% for those who test negative for p16 and HPV. [33] [34]
