  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    The tumor parenchyma, of a solid tumour, is one of the two distinct compartments in a solid tumour. The parenchyma is made up of neoplastic cells. The other compartment is the stroma induced by the neoplastic cells, needed for nutritional support and waste removal. In many types of tumour, clusters of parenchymal cells are separated by a basal ...

  3. Mesenchyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchyme

    Primary mesenchyme is the first embryonic mesenchymal tissue to emerge, and it is produced from EMT in epiblast cells. In the epiblast , it is induced by the primitive streak through Wnt signaling , and produces endoderm and mesoderm from a transitory tissue called mesendoderm during the process of gastrulation .

  4. Stromal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromal_cell

    The interaction between stromal cells and tumor cells is known to play a major role in cancer growth and progression. [1] In addition, by regulating local cytokine networks (e.g. M-CSF , [ 2 ] LIF [ 3 ] ), bone marrow stromal cells have been described to be involved in human hematopoiesis and inflammatory processes.

  5. List of cancer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cancer_types

    The following is a list of cancer types. Cancer is a group of diseases that involve abnormal increases in the number of cells, with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. [1] Not all tumors or lumps are cancerous; benign tumors are not classified as being cancer because they do not spread to other parts of the body. [1]

  6. Hamartoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamartoma

    Parenchymal hamartoma of the lung. The surrounding lung falls away from the well-circumscribed mass, a typical feature of these lesions. The hamartoma shows a variegated yellow and white appearance, which corresponds respectively to fat and cartilage. About 5–8% of all solitary lung nodules and about 75% of all benign lung tumors, are ...

  8. Lung cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer

    Lung cancer is the most diagnosed and deadliest cancer worldwide, with 2.2 million cases in 2020 resulting in 1.8 million deaths. [3] Lung cancer is rare in those younger than 40; the average age at diagnosis is 70 years, and the average age at death 72. [2] Incidence and outcomes vary widely across the world, depending on patterns of tobacco use.

  9. Hemosiderosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemosiderosis

    This finding indicates mesenchymal iron overload (within Kupffer cells and/or portal macrophages) rather than parenchymal iron overload (within hepatocytes). [7] There are several methods available for diagnosing and monitoring hemosiderosis including: Serum ferritin; Liver biopsy; MRI
