The Role Of Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1 In Receptor Trafficking And Disease, Kaia K. Hampton
The Role Of Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1 In Receptor Trafficking And Disease, Kaia K. Hampton
Theses and Dissertations--Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences
The progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is a multifunctional protein with a heme-binding domain that promotes cellular signaling via receptor trafficking, and is essential for some elements of tumor growth and metastasis. PGRMC1 is upregulated in breast, colon, lung and thyroid tumors. We expanded the analysis of PGRMC1 in the clinical setting, and report the first analysis of PGRMC1 in human oral cavity and ovarian tumors and found PGRMC1 to correlate with lung and ovarian cancer patient survival. Furthermore, we discovered a specific role for PGRMC1 in cancer stem cell viability. PGRMC1 directly associates with the epidermal growth factor …
The Lived Experience Of Intersectionality Among African American Women With Breast Cancer, Teri D. Armour Burton
The Lived Experience Of Intersectionality Among African American Women With Breast Cancer, Teri D. Armour Burton
Dissertations
African American women (AAW) continue to have breast cancer mortality rates that are 42% higher than White women (De Santis et al., 2015). Researchers suggest that an epistemological approach that integrates the biomedical and feminist models would be more effective in addressing health disparities. The concept of intersectionality, which grew out of the Black feminist movement, provides a lens in which to view the lived experiences of AAW with breast cancer. The intersectionality paradigm attempts to address the marginalized, oppressive, intersecting social existence of AAW through the examination of identity, social class, and power.
This qualitative study applied a descriptive …

Frontiers In Precision Medicine Ii: Cancer, Big Data And The Public, Emily Coonrod, Jorge L. Contreras, Willard Dere, Jeffrey Botkin, Leslie Francis, Jim Tabery
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
Precision medicine is being developed within a complex landscape of public policy, science, economics, law, and regulation. In these and other policy areas, the goal of developing individually-tailored therapies poses novel challenges for health care research, delivery and policy. In this symposium, a range of experts in genetics, medicine, bioinformatics, intellectual property, health economics and bioethics identified and discussed many of the pressing questions raised by the development and practice of precision medicine. These and other issues will need to be taken into account as precision medicine moves ahead and becomes the standard of medical practice and care in the …
Approaching Refusal Of Colorectal Cancer Screening, Greg Whitcher
Approaching Refusal Of Colorectal Cancer Screening, Greg Whitcher
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
This project aimed to investigate the reasons why patients refuse colonoscopy, the screening rates for colonoscopy, alternatives to colonoscopy and methods primary care physicians can use to encourage patients to have colorectal cancer screening.
Thyroid Hormone Receptor Ss (Trß) Regulation Of Runt-Related Transcription Factor 2 (Runx2) In Thyroid Tumorigenesis: Determination Of The Trß Nuclear Protein Complexes That Associate With The Runx2 Gene., Thomas Howland Taber
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Thyroid Tumorigenesis is typically a well understood process, with well delineated oncogenic factors. Follicular and papillary thyroid cancers are typically survivable, with 5-year survival rates being >95% for Stage I-III of both cancer types. Anaplastic thyroid cancer, in contrast, lacks this prognosis, and is the most lethal of all endocrine-related cancers. The median survival time after a diagnosis is generally between 6-8 months, with a 5-year survival rate of <10%. Current treatment for anaplastic thyroid cancers routinely meet roadblocks, as resistance is quickly developed. Even non-discriminatory kinase inactivators, such as sorafenib, which are generally considered a drug of last resort, are unable to effect survival rates. As such, there is a clear need for further investigation of the causes of anaplastic thyroid cancer mechanisms.
Previous work in the Carr lab revealed a novel regulatory pathway of an oncogene that is associated with several other endocrine-related cancers, as well as other non-endocrine-related cancers. Specifically, the Runt-related …
10%.>Provider Education: Managing Depression In Cancer Patients, Nicole Leonard
Provider Education: Managing Depression In Cancer Patients, Nicole Leonard
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Depression is more prevalent and less often treated in cancer patients compared to the general population. Cancer can increase the risk of depression in multiple different ways, but depression can also increase the risk of cancer. Untreated depression in cancer patients can increase the risk of metastasis and worsen prognosis. The purpose of this project is to educate providers on the connection between mental health and cancer as well as provide them resources on how to approach and manage patients with cancer and depression.
The Experience Of Qigong Among Women Cancer Survivors, Jennifer Sveund
The Experience Of Qigong Among Women Cancer Survivors, Jennifer Sveund
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Research has shown that qigong can be beneficial for a variety of health related conditions; However, evidence suggests that in the United States, a lack of well designed clinical trials limits the efficacy of qigong in the context of cancer treatment. Research has indicated that careful consideration should be given to the design of randomized control trials using qigong due to the conflicting philosophical methodologies. In the United States, qigong has been under investigated, particularly lacking are qualitative inquiries into qigong use and cancer survivorship. This study is an interpretative phenomenological inquiry that sought to understand women’s experience of qigong …

Yap And The Hippo Pathway In Pediatric Cancer., Atif Ahmed, Abdalla D. Mohamed, Melissa Gener, Weijie Li, Eugenio Taboada
Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers
The Hippo pathway is an important signaling pathway that controls cell proliferation and apoptosis. It is evolutionarily conserved in mammals and is stimulated by cell-cell contact, inhibiting cell proliferation in response to increased cell density. During early embryonic development, the Hippo signaling pathway regulates organ development and size, and its functions result in the coordinated balance between proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Its principal effectors, YAP and TAZ, regulate signaling by the embryonic stem cells and determine cell fate and histogenesis. Dysfunction of this pathway contributes to cancer development in adults and children. Emerging studies have shed light on the upregulation …
