Mitochondrial alterations in radiation-induced basal cell carcinomas

X-ray scalp epilation for tinea capitis (scalp ringworm) treatment was used in 1950-1960. The observation of individuals submitted to this therapeutic approach has shown an increase head and neck tumours prevalence, namely basal cell carcinomas (BCCs).

Alterações mitocondriais em carcinomas basocelulares induzidos por radiação

Na década de 50-60 foi usada a epilação do couro cabeludo através do uso de raios X para o tratamento da tinea capitis (tinha). A observação destes indivíduos mostrou um aumento da frequência de tumores na zona da cabeça e pescoço, nomeadamente de carcinomas basocelulares (CBCs). Tendo tido acesso a uma cohorte tratada desta forma no norte de Portugal, foi realizada uma pesquisa das mutações na região reguladora do DNA mitocondrial (D-Loop) num grupo de indivíduos desta cohorte que desenvolveram esses tumores.

A metilação de três genes permite a detecção de tumores do urotélio superior

Globalmente, os carcinomas uroteliais representam o quarto tipo de neoplasia mais comum, após os tumores da próstata (ou mama), pulmão e colorectais, com cerca de 260 mil novos casos diagnosticados anualmente a nível mundial. Destes, os Carcinomas Uroteliais do Trato Urinário Superior (UTUC, i.e., com origem no bacinete e ureteres), devido à sua origem e localização, são particularmente susceptíveis de invadir as estruturas adjacentes, tendo assim um maior potencial de agressividade.
