Salivary glands adenoid cystic carcinoma: a molecular profile update and potential implications.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive tumor with a high propensity for distant metastasis and perineural invasion. This tumor is more commonly found in regions of the head and neck, mainly the salivary glands. In general, the primary treatment modality for ACC is surgical resection and, in some cases, postoperative radiotherapy.

Environmental control of mammary carcinoma cell expansion by acidification and spheroid formation in vitro.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Like other cancers, mammary carcinoma progression involves acidification of the tumor microenvironment, which is an important factor for cancer detection and treatment strategies. However, the effects of acidity on mammary carcinoma cell morphology and phenotype have not been thoroughly characterized.

Anticancer potential of benzothiazolic derivative (E)-2-((2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)-4-nitrophenol against melanoma cells.

Malignant melanoma is an important type of cancer worldwide due to its aggressiveness and poor survival rate. Significant efforts to understand the biology of melanoma and approaches to treat the advanced disease are focused on targeted gene inhibitors. Frequently mutated genes, such as NRAS, B-RAF and TP53, significantly exceed the frequency of mutations of other genes, emphasizing their importance for future targeted therapies.

Biflorin induces cytotoxicity by DNA interaction in genetically different human melanoma cell lines.

Cancer is a public health problem and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The incidence of cutaneous melanoma has been notably increasing, resulting in high aggressiveness and poor survival rates. Taking into account the antitumor activity of biflorin, a substance isolated from Capraria biflora L.
