A previous meta-analysis examining the relationship between statin use and breast cancer reported that the inhibitory effect of statins on breast cancer may be more pronounced in early-stage cases. In this stu...
Radiotherapy is one of the cornerstones of the treatment of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC). However, radioresistance is associated with a high risk of recurrence. To propose strategies (such as co...
Our previous studies have confirmed that miR-154-5p can regulate pRb expression, and thus, play a tumor suppressor role in HPV16 E7-induced cervical cancer. However, its upstream molecules have not been elucid...
Large-scale genomic alterations, especially CD274/PD-L1 gene amplification, have great impact on anti-PD-1 efficacy on cancers such as Hodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the prevalence of PD-L1 genetic alterations i...
CD40, a TNF receptor family member, is expressed by a variety of immune cells and is involved in the activation of both adaptive and innate immune responses. Here, we used quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF)...
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare type of malignancy comprising a variety of histological diagnoses. Chemotherapy constitutes the standard treatment for advanced STS. Doxorubicin-based regimens, which incl...
Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) is increasing worldwide. Lymph node metastasis is an important clinical issue in AEG patients. This study investigated the usefulness of a positive lymph no...
Primary double KIT/PDGFRA mutations are very rare in gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) but have not been comprehensively studied to date. In the present study, we investigated the clinicopathologic and ...
A subset of meningiomas progress in histopathological grade but drivers of progression are poorly understood. We aimed to identify somatic mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs) associated with grade pro...
