Preclinical Models and Imaging Techniques for Studing Prostate and Colorectal Cancers
Journal Title: Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
DUAs with all cancer types, the initiation, development, and metastatic stages of prostate and colorectal cancers, are very important to understand the relationship between tumor cells and normal cells in the stroma, the changes in gene and signaling pathways, as well as their behavior towards the immune response. Therefore, for experimental research, the formation of tumor cell lines, the formation of tissues in the laboratory environment, and the formation of tumor models via injection or implantation of animal or human tumor cells or tissues in experimental animals, which are the silent heroes of science, and their molecular imaging are very important. Only in this way can there be an effective treatment of these diseases, or they can be prevented before they occur.
