Sunitinib, a newly developed multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has become a common therapeutic option for managing advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Examining the mechanism underlying the inte...
Gastric cancer is one of the most malignant digestive tract tumors worldwide and its progression is associated with gene expression and metabolic alteration. We revealed that the gastric cancer patients with l...
Breast cancer metastasis remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor stroma is known to be correlated with reduced ov...
Lung cancer, a major global health concern, disproportionately impacts low socioeconomic status (SES) patients, who face suboptimal care and reduced survival. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic perfor...
Survival rates of breast cancer (BC) patients are particularly low in rural regions in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) which is due to limited access to therapy. In recent years, gene expression profiling (GEP) of BC...
Lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), remains a significant cause of cancer-related mortality, with drug resistance posing a substantial obstacle to effective therapy. LncRNAs have emer...
In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, data projections indicated an increase in cancer mortality for the following years due to the overload of health services and the replacement of health priorities. T...
The gut microbiome is thought to play an important role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, as the gut microbiome varies widely based on diet, we sought to investigate the gut microbiome ch...
Bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD), and bortezomib, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (PAD), are commonly used in induction regimens for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) in Chi...
Breast cancer (BRCA) remains to be among the main causes of cancer-associated mortality in women globally. HGH1 homolog (HGH1) has been reported to be associated with tumor immunity. However, the function of H...
Nonresectable gastric cancer develops rapidly; thus, monitoring disease progression especially in patients receiving nivolumab as late-line therapy is important. Biomarkers may facilitate the evaluation of niv...
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). T-cell immunoreceptor w...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary malignant brain tumor characterized by rapid progression, poor prognosis, and high mortality rates. Understanding the relationship between cerebrosp...
To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with uterine sarcoma treated following surgery for presumed benign disease.
Gastric cancer (GC) ranks among the prevalent types of cancer, and its progression is influenced by the tumor microenvironment (TME). A comprehensive comprehension of the TME associated with GC has the potenti...
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is diagnosed relatively late and has a poor prognosis, requiring early detection to reduce the disease burden. This diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis evaluated the serologic...
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and causes of cancer death in Canada. Some previous literature suggests that socioeconomic inequalities in lung cancer screening, treatment and survival may exist....
This meta-analysis aims to clarify the association between the TNF-α -308G > A and − 238G > A polymorphisms and lung cancer risk.
