Researchers from the University of Turku and the InFLAMES flagship, or immunology center of excellence, have discovered that the risk of recurrence of a certain type of cancer can be assessed already in the early stages of the disease by examining the lymphatic vessels of the tumor. The study showed for the first time that the surface cells of the lymphatic vessels of cancer contain proteins that indicate division, which strongly predict the pro…
Researchers from Turku found that a large number of dividing lymphatic vessels better predicts that the case may be recurrent oral cancer.
Aggressive oral cancer can be identified at an early stage by changes in lymphatic vessels
Oral cancers with a high risk of recurrence can be identified at an early stage by examining the lymphatic vessels of the tumour. Finnish researchers have discovered for the first time that the surface cells of the lymphatic vessels in oral cancer contain proteins that indicate cell division and strongly predict disease progression and mortality.
