When this FDG is injected into a human body, the cancer cells ingest a large amount of FDG in the same way as they take in glucose, and emit gamma rays.
And something that my team and I discovered recently was that cancer cells are able to communicate with each other and coordinate their movement, based on how closely packed they are in the tumor microenvironment.

SLL is closely related to CLL; however, unlike CLL, SLL cancer cells are typically found in the lymph nodes and spleen rather than the bone marrow and the blood.
Now, like anything else in nature, when things get a little too tight, the signal is enhanced, causing the cancer cells to move away faster from the primary site and spread to a new site.
Cancer cells are truly terrifying, as they have the ability to influence surrounding cells in order to gain oxygen and a supply of nutrients, while also remaining hidden from the immune system, which would usually try to remove these mutinous cells..
Although research has shown that cancer cells consume more sugar(glucose) than normal cells, no studies have shown that eating sugar will make your cancer worse or that, if you stop eating sugar, your cancer will shrink or disappear.
In addition, cancer cells are able to ignore signals that normally tell cells to stop dividing or that begin a process known as programmed cell death, or apoptosis, which the body uses to get rid of unneeded cells..
Not only do a wide variety of cancers exist, requiring specialized treatments for each type, but cancer cells within an individual can morph and render previously potent therapeutics ineffective. Thus, there is a continual need to discover new, effective drugs.
The cancer cells that survive make themselves invisible to the T cells instructed to attack them(CTLs: cytotoxic T lymphocytes) by changing themselves over time in order to avoid their attack(MHC class I molecules disappear).
Differentiated cancer cells, which have lost the capacity to form tumours, can also regain their tumorigenic capacity when stimulated with factors― such as hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)― secreted by the microenvironment.
As a result, it was found that cancer cells acquired resistance to the molecular-targeted drug by transforming epithelial characteristics into mesenchymal ones, caused by reduction in the cancer cells of the expression of miR-200c(one of the microRNAs that regulate gene expression). Reduction of miR-200c expression augments the level of ZEB1, a transcription factor that induces EMT, and reduces the level of E-cadherin, a protein involved in cell adhesion.
