112 results about "Adenoma" patented technology

An adenoma is a benign tumor of epithelial tissue with glandular origin, glandular characteristics, or both. Adenomas can grow from many glandular organs, including the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thyroid, prostate, and others. Some adenomas grow from epithelial tissue in nonglandular areas but express glandular tissue structure (as can happen in familial polyposis coli). Although adenomas are benign, they should be treated as pre-cancerous. Over time adenomas may transform to become malignant, at which point they are called adenocarcinomas. Most adenomas do not transform. However, even though benign, they have the potential to cause serious health complications by compressing other structures (mass effect) and by producing large amounts of hormones in an unregulated, non-feedback-dependent manner (causing paraneoplastic syndromes). Some adenomas are too small to be seen macroscopically but can still cause clinical symptoms.

Anti-cox-2 nanobodies for endoscopic visualization of colorectal adenomas

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in men and women. Uncontrolled proliferation of CRC cells is pivotal in colorectal tumorigenesis and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an important regulatory enzyme in this process. Timely diagnosis is the key to life-saving management of CRC, which is under-diagnosed because colorectal aberrant crypt foci, hyper plastic polyps, micro edemas are often missed with conventional colonoscopy. Disclosed herein are imaging agents tagged to nanobodies specific for COX-2 protein that can selectively accumulate and retain in COX-2 expressing cells and colorectal adenomas, resulting in specific and sensitive of early detection, while reducing background and off-target systemic toxicity. The prospect of combining structural and functional imaging readouts obtained with fluorescence-aided colonoscopy measurements would provide powerful diagnostic information for improved management of colorectal carcinogenesis.
