The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is challenging due to immune tolerance and evasion. Salidroside (SAL) is an extract in traditional Chinese medicine and has a potential antitumor effect. How...
TUBA1C is an α-tubulin isoform involved in mitosis, and its dysregulation has been implicated in tumor progression. There is still no clear understanding of its role in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA).
Radical resection plus lymph node dissection is a common treatment for patients with T1-3N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Few models predicted the survival outcomes of these patients. This study aimed to ...
Precise prognostication is the key to optimum and effective treatment planning for early-stage hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2/neu negative breast cancer patients. Differences in the breast cancer inciden...
Glioblastoma (GBM), a malignant brain tumor, has poor survival outcomes due to recurrence or drug resistance. We found that SH3GLB1 is a crucial factor for cells to evade temozolomide (TMZ) cytotoxicity throug...
Endometrial Cancer (EC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies that affect the female population globally. In the context of immunotherapy, Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) in the DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) s...
Nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/levo-leucovorin (Levo-LV) was approved for unresectable pancreatic cancer (UR-PC) in March 2020 in Japan. Levo-LV is administered by intravenous infus...
Several cancer immunotherapies that target the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway show promising clinical activity in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the standard of care in first-line treatment with at...
The brain is a common site for cancer metastases. In case of large and/or symptomatic brain metastases, neurosurgical resection is performed. Adjuvant radiotherapy is a standard procedure to minimize the risk ...
