Adjuvant endocrine treatment is essential for treating luminal subtypes of breast cancer, which constitute 75% of all breast malignancies. However, the detrimental side effects of treatment make it difficult f...
Locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), accounting for about 30% of PDAC patients, is difficult to cure by radical resection or systemic chemotherapy alone. A multidisciplinary strategy is re...
Cancer is highly prevalent worldwide. Family resilience is a positive variable that helps families burdened by advanced cancer to cope effectively. This study aimed to describe the family resilience of advance...
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important factor affecting endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis. Current controversy exists as to how to accurately assess the risk of lymphatic metastasis. Metabolic syndrome ha...
Sensitive and reproducible detection of residual disease after treatment is a major challenge for patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. Indeed, the current imaging techniques are not always reli...
Metabolic derangements and systemic inflammation are related to the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) and the prognoses of these patients. The survival of stage II and III CRC patients existed considerabl...
Whole-genome doubling (WGD) is a common mutation in cancer. Various studies have suggested that WGD is associated with a poor prognosis in cancer. However, the detailed association between WGD occurrence and p...
Gene fusions are important cancer drivers in pediatric cancer and their accurate detection is essential for diagnosis and treatment. Clinical decision-making requires high confidence and precision of detection...
The prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer is related to early detection. However, commonly used screening markers lack sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we identified diagnostic methylation si...
To investigate the relationship among 18 heavy metals, microsatellite instability (MSI) status, ERCC1, XRCC1 (rs25487), BRAF V600E and 5 tumor markers and their role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Insulin resistance is an overlapping risk factor for both heart and breast cancer, while its interaction with cardiotoxicity in breast cancer (BC) patients is not clear. This study investigated the impact of i...
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have great potential as new biomarkers in liquid biopsy. However, due to the limitations of sEVs extraction and component analysis procedures, further clinical applications ...
Ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs) are rare, aggressive and chemoresistant tumors. Geographical and ethnic differences in the incidence of OCCC have been reported with a higher incidence in Asiatic countrie...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are involved in various human malignancies, have emerged as promising biomarkers. The present study aimed to investigate unique expression profiles of circRNAs in hepatocellular...
Ovarian cancer screening in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers utilizes assessment of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVU), despite low sensitivity and specificity. We evaluated the associ...
Even though chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) can be well controlled in the acute phase, the incidence of delayed CINV remains high. In this study, we intend to investigate whether prolonged use ...
