2132 results about "Tumor growth" patented technology

Tumor growth rates are approximately exponential which means that the rate of growth depends on developmental stage 8. Tumor growth is exponential, as seen in the exponential, Gompertz and universal law models.

Apparatus and method for optimizing tumor treatment efficiency by electric fields

The apparatus and method are designed to compute the optimal spatial and temporal characteristics for combating tumor growth within a body on the basis of cytological (as provided by biopsies, etc.) and anatomical data (as provided by CT, MRI, PET, etc.), as well as the electric properties of the different elements. On the basis of this computation, the apparatus applies the fields that have maximal effect on the tumor and minimal effect on all other tissues by adjusting both the field generator output characteristics and by optimal positioning of the insulated electrodes or isolects on the patient's body.

Isolation and use of solid tumor stem cells

A small percentage of cells within an established solid tumor have the properties of stem cells. These solid tumor stem cells give rise both to more tumor stem cells and to the majority of cells in the tumor that have lost the capacity for extensive proliferation and the ability to give rise to new tumors. The solid tumor heterogeneity reflects the presence of tumor cell progeny arising from a solid tumor stem cell. This discovery is the basis for solid tumor stem cell compositions, methods for distinguishing functionally different populations of tumor cells, methods for using these tumor cell populations for studying the effects of therapeutic agents on tumor growth, and methods for identifying and testing novel anti-cancer therapies directed to solid tumor stem cells.

InactiveUS6218372B1Treating and preventing restenosis in vivoFacilitate immune recognitionBiocidePeptide/protein ingredientsPercent Diameter StenosisGene product
The p21 gene encodes a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor which affects cell cycle progression, but the role of this gene product in altering tumor growth has not been established. The present inventors have now discovered that the growth of malignant cells in vivo is inhibited by expression of p21. Expression of p21 resulted in an accumulation of cells in G0 / G1, alteration in morphology, and cell differentiation.

The present invention concerns methods and compositions for inhibiting angiogenesis and / or tumor growth, survival and / or metastasis. In particular embodiments, the methods and compositions may concern ligands against placenta growth factor (PlGF), such as BP-1, BP-2, BP-3 or BP-4. Some methods may comprise administering one or more PlGF ligands, alone or in combination with one or more other agents, such as chemotherapeutic agents, other anti-angiogenic agents, immunotherapeutic agents or radioimmunotherapeutic agents to a subject. The PlGF ligands are effective to inhibit angiogenesis, tumor cell motility, tumor metastasis, tumor growth and / or tumor survival. In certain embodiments, PlGF ligands may be administered to subjects to ameliorate other angiogenesis related conditions, such as macular degeneration. In some embodiments, PlGF expression levels may be determined by any known method to select those patients most likely to respond to PlGF targeted therapies.

Historical comparison of breast tissue by image processing

An image processing system and method visually documents and displays changes between historical and later mammographic images, preferably in three dimensions. A composite image is created which visually emphasizes temporal differences between the historical and later images. Preferably three-dimensional, digitized images, displayable in various projections, are stored for archival purposes on computer readable media. An image processor preferably exploits an optical correlator to register the historical and later images accurately and provide correlation values as temporal scalars of the differences. The registered images are then compared, voxel-by-voxel, to detect temporal differences. The composite image is displayed with synthetic colors or other visual clues to emphasize apparent changes (for example, tumor growth or shrinkage).

Apparatus and method for statistical image analysis

An apparatus, system, method, and computer readable medium containing computer-executable code for implementing image analysis uses multivariate statistical analysis of sample images, and allows segmentation of the image into different groups or classes, depending on a correlation to one or more sample textures, or sample surface features. In one embodiment, the invention performs multivariate statistical analysis of ultrasound images, wherein a tumor may be characterized by segmenting viable tissue from necrotic tissue, allowing for more detailed in vivo analysis of tumor growth beyond simple dimensional measurements or univariate statistical analysis. Application of the apparatus and method may also be used for characterizing other types of samples having textured features including, for example, tumor angiogenesis biomarkers from Power Doppler.
