Single arm phase 1 and 2 studies on Crizotinib in ALK-positive patients so far have shown rapid and durable responses. Spontaneous pneumothoraces as a result of response to anti-cancer therapy are rare in onco...
Brain metastasis (BM) of colorectal cancer is a disease with a poor prognosis of only a few months survival. However, it is difficult to estimate the individual prognosis of each patient due to the lack of def...
To investigate the prognostic value of derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in patients with advanced HER2 positive breast cancer treated with trastuzumab emtansine.
Although numerous studies have investigated the clinicopathologic and prognostic relevance of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) and signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) compared with classic adenocarcinoma (CA), litt...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are notorious for their capacity of tumor progression, metastasis or resistance to chemo-radiotherapy. However, the undisputed role of cancer stem marker, CD133, in colorectal cancers ...
CD276 (also known as B7-H3) is one of the most important immune checkpoints of the CD28 and B7 superfamily, and its abnormal expression is closely associated with various types of cancer. It has been shown that C...
The BRCA mutation (BRCAm) in males has been reported to confer a higher risk for the development of various tumors. However, little is known about its clinicopathologic features and prognostic implications.
