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.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a prevalent primary malignant tumor, is notorious for its high mortality rate. Despite advancements in HCC treatment, patient outcomes remain suboptimal. This study endeavors to...
Risk-stratified approaches to breast screening show promise for increasing benefits and reducing harms. But the successful implementation of such an approach will rely on public acceptability. To date, researc...
The prognosis of patients with hepatocellular cancer is substantially correlated with the abnormal expression of growing long non-coding RNA small nucleolar host gene RNA (SNHG) families in liver cancer tissue...
Meaningful engagement with stakeholders in research demands intentional approaches. This paper describes the development of a framework to guide stakeholder engagement as research partners in a pragmatic trial...
Patients with head and neck cancers (HNC) experience many transitions in care (TiC), occurring when patients are transferred between healthcare providers and/or settings. TiC can compromise patient safety, dec...
Women with breast cancer face many barriers to return to work (RTW) after their cancer. The main objective of the FASTRACS-RCT is to evaluate the impact of the FASTRACS (Facilitate and Sustain Return to Work a...
This study aims to investigate preoperative prognostic factors available for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients and propose a new preoperative prognostic scoring system for ICC that combines CA19-9...
SEPT9 is a pivotal cytoskeletal GTPase that regulates diverse biological processes encompassing mitosis and cytokinesis. While previous studies have implicated SEPT9 in tumorigenesis and development; comprehensiv...
The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the safety and feasibility of single-intercostal totally minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIIE) with those of multiple-intercostal MIIE.
Cisplatin (CDDP) remains a key agent in the treatment of muscle-infiltrating bladder carcinoma (MIBC). However, a proportion of MIBC patients do not respond to chemotherapy, which may be caused by the increase...
According to GLOBOCAN 2020 Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the prevalence is increasing worldwide and in Ethiopia. This review assessed studies conducted in Ethiopia on the clinical fea...
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery remains a standard of care for resectable esophageal cancer (EC), and definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is an alternative for unresectable diseases. H...
Regulatory T (Treg) cells reportedly play crucial roles in tumor angiogenesis as well as antitumor immunity. In order to explore their therapeutic potential, we investigated the precise prognostic impact of Tr...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor, with a poor prognosis and life expectancy of 14–16 months after diagnosis. The standard treatment for GBM consists of surgery, radiotherapy, and...
Liver cancer (LC) is frequently preceded by cirrhosis and poses a significant public health challenge in the United States (US). Recent decades have seen notable shifts in the epidemiological patterns of LC, y...
In oncology, the suffering of patients and the burnout of health professionals are key issues. Mindfulness meditation is a holistic approach that can help to improve well-being. While numerous studies have sho...
The effectiveness of palliative gastrectomy for advanced GC remains a topic of debate. This study sought to establish whether palliative gastrectomy has an impact on prolonging survival.
One of the most frequent side effects of radical prostatectomy (RP) is urinary incontinence. The primary cause of urine incontinence is usually thought to be impaired urethral sphincter function; nevertheless,...
Dysregulated splicing events are a common phenomenon in cancer with the Serine-arginine-rich splicing factor (SRSF) family emerging as pivotal regulators of gene expression, exerting influence over constitutiv...
