Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) is the most common histological type of cervical cancer which is the major cause of death in women worldwide. Although squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) is widely...
Screening recommendations for colorectal cancer (CRC) are mainly based on family history rather than lifestyle risk factors. We aimed to assess and compare risk factors for colorectal neoplasm (CRN) and evalu...
Uterine sarcomas are rare and aggressive gynaecologic malignancies, characterized by a relatively high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological featu...
Cholesterol and lipids play an important role in sustaining tumor growth and metastasis in a large variety of cancers. ANGPTL3 and PCSK9 modify circulating cholesterol levels, thus availability of lipids to pe...
To assess whether glycaemic control is associated with prognosis in people with cancer and pre-existing diabetes.
The combination of immune-checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy has become the standard of treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the association between therapeutic efficacy and...
Multiple mutation (MM) within a single gene has recently been reported as a mechanism involved in carcinogenesis. The present study investigated the clinical significance of MMs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Prediction of patient survival from tumor molecular ‘-omics’ data is a key step toward personalized medicine. Cox models performed on RNA profiling datasets are popular for clinical outcome predictions. But th...
To investigate the potential role of Long Non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the progression of osteosarcoma.
Rectal cancer is one of the most lethal of gastrointestinal malignancies. Metabonomics has gradually developed as a convenient, inexpensive and non-destructive technique for the study of cancers.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in adults. Syndecan-4 (SDC4) is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the expression and clinic...
Adjuvant therapies such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are usually given after cancer surgery to improve the survival of cancer patients. However, despite advances in several adjuvant th...
Overexpression of the EVI1 (ecotropic viral integration site 1) oncogene has recently been implicated as a prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC), particularly in triple-negative BC (TNBC). In this study we a...
Although evidence has revealed that miR-200a-3p is involved in the malignant progression of various tumors, the regulatory mechanism of miR-200a-3p in the development of cervical cancer (CC) cells with differe...
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered to be the third-highest malignant tumor among all carcinomas. The alterations in cellular bioenergetics (metabolic reprogramming) are associated with seve...
Fatty acid (FA) metabolism is considered the emerging cause of tumor development and metastasis, driving poor prognosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely related to cancer progression and play import...
