Women with gynecological cancers must be treated in hospital centers of excellence, otherwise the risk of being subjected to sub-optimal treatments can significantly result in a negative effect on the outcome. This is confirmed by a recent search of the National Institute of Tumors in Milan which took into account a significant sample of 500 patients treated at the center of Milan after having... read

Pain is an "epidemic" that hinders the full expression of life to millions of people, both in European countries and, even more, in the Mediterranean countries with lesser health-power. The World Health Organization indicates that pain is one of the main causes for which medical attention is requested, and represents a serious public health problem (1-3).
Defeating pain therefore allows people... read

Chromium (Cr) is a transition element that exhibits three possible states: metallic stable, trivalent and hexavalent. While the trivalent form is characterized by a relatively low toxicity and is considered an essential nutrient, hexavalent chromium, present in several compounds of industrial origin (including chrome and thiols), is considered highly toxic, and on the basis of experimental and... read

Introduction
The management of SCLC has been recently improved and survival rates are 15-25% at 2 years among patients with limited stage and 0-3% among those with extensive disease. The median overall survival with the combination chemotherapy is 14 to 16 months for patients with limited disease and 8 to 11 months for those with extensive disease. Most controlled clinical trials of SCLC define... read

Hematuria is a symptom that, when present, triggers a series of diagnostic assumptions requiring a number of important investigations to clarify its origin.
The first task is to get a description of the urine color: there is a significant difference between orange-red, brown-red, or bright red.
The medical history and the physical examination are very important, while the “the three... read

Gene Src (short for sarcoma) is part of a family of proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinases active in many tumors, including medulloblastoma, the most common malignant cancer in children. Src represents one of the most promising targets for cancer therapy.
A recent study shows that pyrazolo-[3,4-d]–pyrimidine-derivatives, designed to target Src, may be effective in interfering with the cell cycle and... read

If there is a clear need to think and work in innovative ways to deliver health services that achieve high quality, it is equally true and that we should develop a better and more appropriate investment model, in order to avoid losing resources in processes that will not give any certainty that the arrangements already in place will change.
We believe that now there is an opportunity for... read

Until recently, vascularization of malignant tumors was considered the exclusive result of
directed capillary in-growth. However, recent advances have been made in identifying the
processes involved in vascular remodelling like as vasculogecin mimicry (for a review read
reference 1).
Vasculogenic mimicry was first described by the unique ability of aggressive
melanoma cells to express an... read

COPD is no longer a standalone condition, rather is a disease that is too often linked with other diseases, including various non-respiratory disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, cancers and even osteoporosis, which, in turn, are all diseases associated to other chronic conditions, such as hypertension and arterial disease.
The statistics, moreover, are clear: over half of the people... read

A fundamental problem in cancer research is identifying the cell type that is capable of
sustaining neoplastic growth. There is evidence that the majority of cancer cells are
clones and that cancer cells represent the progeny of a single cell (reviewed in [1] La
Porta 2009). However it is unclear which cells possess the tumor-initiating cell function,
maintaining the tumor growth. The idea of... read

Inactivation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb) by phosphorylation triggers uncontrolled cell proliferation. Accordingly, activation of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)/cyclin complexes or downregulation of CDK inhibitors appears as a common event in human cancer.
Now, a new study from the Sbarro Health Research Organization shows that Pin1 (protein interacting with NIMA (never... read
