The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) is a domain-specific extension of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems for tumor diseases. This classification is widely used by cancer registries. It is currently in its third revision (ICD-O-3). ICD-10 includes a list of ...
Gallbladder adenomyomatosis is a benign disease of the gallbladder characterized by hyperplasia of the mucosal epithelium and smooth muscle cells inside the muscularis propria. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The excessive proliferation of epithelial cells causes the mucosa to invaginate into the muscular layer lining the gallbladder wall, resulting in ...

NCI/ADR-RES appears to have been derived at some point in time from cell line OVCAR-8. Originally the cell line was named MCF-7/ADR-RES; it was renamed together with the change in classification.

Patient derived xenograft. Patient derived xenografts ( PDX) are models of cancer where the tissue or cells from a patient's tumor are implanted into an immunodeficient or humanized mouse. [ 1] It is a form of xenotransplantation. PDX models are used to create an environment that allows for the continued growth of cancer after its removal from ...

[1] The SK-OV-3 cell line is also hypodiploid, with a modal number of chromosomes of 43 (range 42-45), occurring in 63.3% of cells.
