Rhabdomyosarcoma

 

more info:

two most common forms are embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. In the former, which is more common in younger children, the cancer cells resemble those of a typical 6-to-8-week embryo. In the latter, which is more common in older children and teenagers, they resemble those of a typical 10-to-12-week embryo.

 

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a relatively rare form of cancer. When RMS does occur, it is most commonly seen in children aged one to five years old. Less commonly, it can also present in teens aged 15 to 19, and can even develop in adulthood, though this is even more rare.

 

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital reports that Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Soft tissue sarcomas make up about 3% of childhood cancers.

What is the mechanism of action of Sitagliptin?
Definition
Sitagliptin is a diabetic drug, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. This class of drugs acts to inhibit degradation of the endogenous incretins GLP-1 and GIP.

Incretins are a group of gastrointestinal hormones that increase the amount of insulin released from the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans after eating. They begin to act before blood glucose levels become elevated. Incretins also inhibit glucagon release from alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans. DPP-4 inhibitors block degradation of incretins and promote enhanced insulin secretion.
