Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to tumor angiogenesis and growth. We aimed to determine whether inhibitors of differentiation 1Id1were expressed in circulating EPCs of patients with ovarian cancer, whether Id1 could mediate EPCs mobilization and recruitment, and, if so, what underlying signaling pathway it used. »

Notch signaling plays a key role in embryonic vascular development and angiogenesis. The authors aimed to study the prognostic role of the angiogenesis-related Notch ligands and receptors and investigate the prognostic impact of the coexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and Notch signaling. »

Tetraspanin CD151 is associated with laminin-binding integrins and controls tumor cell migration and invasion. By analyzing responses of breast cancer cells to various growth factors, we showed that depletion of CD151 specifically attenuates transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1)-induced scattering and proliferation of breast cancer cells in three-dimensional Matrigel. »

With 16005 new cases and 5406 related deaths in 2005, France is particularly concerned by Head and Neck (H&N) cancers. In addition to tobacco and alcohol, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has been reported as a risk factor for H&N cancers. The literature on the burden of these cancers in Europe is scarce. This study was performed to assess the medical and economical burden of hospitalisations for H&N cancers in France. »
