MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are released by different types of cells through highly regulated mechanisms under normal and pathological conditions. These extracellular miRNAs can be delivered into recipient cells for functional purposes, acting as cell-to-cell signaling mediators. It has been discovered that cancer cells release miRNAs into their surroundings, targeting normal cells or other cancer cells, presumably to promote tumor development and progression. These extracellular miRNAs are associated with oncogenic mechanisms and, because they can be quantified in blood and other bodily fluids, may be suitable noninvasive biomarkers for cancer detection. This review summarizes recent evidence of the role of extracellular miRNAs as intercellular mediators, with an emphasis on their role in the mechanisms of tumor development and progression and their potential value as biomarkers in solid tumors. It also highlights the biological characteristics of extracellular miRNAs that enable them to function as regulators of gene expression, such as biogenesis, gene silencing mechanisms, subcellular compartmentalization, and the functions and mechanisms of release.


Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth which starts consuming cell nourishment and keeps on multiplying indefinably. There are 100 plus different types of cancers that may affect any part of the body. In the past 26 years, the cancer incidence rate has been changed drastically in India. To control it early-stage detection of cancer plays a very important role. Early-stage detection of cancer helps in better diagnosis will also lower the chances of dying due to this deadly disease. It will impact considerably on the patient’s recovery when it is more treatable. Early Cancer detection or premalignant disease detection in the human body is possible through screening tests. Several screening methods have been tested, applied and proven to be very much efficient in reducing death rate due to cancer. This paper survey’s how learning techniques can be efficiently applied, tested and showed promising results in early-stage cancer detection through several screening methods.

This paper presents an approach of computer-aided diagnosis for early prediction of cancer cells in brain. It extracts the texture from the given brain MRI sample.It uses image processing techniques followed by neuro classification for prediction of Cancer for a given MRI sample. A neuro fuzzy approach is used for the recognition of the extracted region. The implementation is observed on various types of MRI images with different types of cancer regions.

There appears to be similarities between the clinical appearances of different types of gingival overgrowths. The WHO type peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is an unusual benign odontogenic neoplasma of the gingiva. It is considered to be an extraosseous counterpart of the central odontogenic fibroma (COF). Among all biopsy specimens, POdF comprehend only upto 0.05%. Odontogenic fibromas are rare but still they provide a noteworthy diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Along with clinical, radiographic appearance, and histologic features, a sound knowledge on biologic behavior of rare gingival overgrowths would ensure an accurate diagnosis of tumor pathology. We present here a case report of POdF that occurred in a young female patient in anterior interdental region displacing the tooth. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) was used to stimulate soft tissue healing. Two year follow up showed satisfactory healing with no recurrence.

Gastric syphilis has non-specific symptoms and various endoscopic and radiographic findings. Spirochetes are seen infrequently in biopsy specimens and the pathological findings are often non-specific. So it is very difficult to make a definitive diagnosis of gastric syphilis based on clinical symptoms and biopsy findings. We report the case of a gastric syphilis with neurosyphilis presented with epigastric pain. This case reminds us that gastric syphilis is one possibility in ulcerative gastric lesions.
