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. Two brain cancer cell lines, SNB-19 and U251, were discovered to come from the same person. This makes a mixup likely. A 61st cell line, MDA-N, has ...
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 ...
MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old White woman. [ 1] MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. [ 2] The Michigan Cancer Foundation is now known as the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer ...
Specialty. Oncology. Combined small cell lung carcinoma (or c-SCLC) is a form of multiphasic lung cancer that is diagnosed by a pathologist when a malignant tumor, arising from transformed cells originating in lung tissue, contains a component of; small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), admixed with one (or more) components of any histological ...
Oncology. Non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ), or non-small-cell lung carcinoma, is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. [ 1][ 2][ 3] As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small-cell carcinoma.
The myeloid cell line normally produces granulocytes, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, macrophages and mast cells; the lymphoid cell line produces B, T, NK and plasma cells. Lymphomas, lymphocytic leukemias, and myeloma are from the lymphoid line, while acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative diseases ...

ASPS is an extremely rare cancer. While sarcomas comprise about 1% of all newly diagnosed cancers, and 15% of all childhood cancers, ASPS comprises less than 1% of sarcomas. According to the American Cancer Society, about 9530 new cases of soft tissue sarcoma will be diagnosed in the USA in 2006. This predicts under 100 new cases of ASPS.
