IntroductionAccurate detection of malignant cells in ovarian cancer ascites is essential for diagnosis and surgical staging. However, conventional cytological examination is hampered by low sensitivity and interpretive subjectivity. We eval…

IntroductionEndometriosis (EMs) is considered the precursor lesions of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC). This study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins between OEC and EMs, and to explore the associated biological functi…

Prostate cancer remains one of the most common malignancies in men, with its progression strongly influenced by androgen signaling. While genetic alterations are well-documented in prostate cancer, growing evidence highlights the contributi…

IntroductionUterine sarcoma (US) is a rare tumor characterized by high aggressiveness, a tendency for recurrence and distant metastasis, and an extremely poor prognosis. In this study, we evaluated the expression of Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1) in …

BACKGROUND: Uterine sarcoma (US) is a highly malignant cancer with poor prognosis and high mortality in women. In this study, we evaluated the expression of human fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in different US subtypes and the relation…

BACKGROUND: Exosomal miRNAs have emerged as promising biomarkers for cancer. However, little is known about the role of exosomal miRNAs in the response prediction of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with chemoradio…

Objective: To establish a predictive model distinguishing focal mass-forming pancreatitis (FMFP) from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics and clinical data. Methods: A total of 78 FMFP patient…

Purpose: The present retrospective study aimed to explore the relationship between pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer in the population cohort of the UK Biobank (UKB) (https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk). Methods: From the 500 thousand population …

BACKGROUND: According to previous literatures, plasma thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) level was significantly elevated in various malignant tumors and serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognostic prediction. However, there is li…

PURPOSE: To uncover potential diagnostic biomarkers for endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Quantitative label-free liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry…

OBJECTIVE: Angiogenesis plays an important role in the growth and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that mainly acts on vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Kinase inse…

BACKGROUND: To assess the effect of microRNA-126-5p (miR-126-5p) on the migration of the breast cancer MCF7 cell line. METHODS: GSE143564 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo) to identify th…

Vertebral column is the most frequent site for bone metastases. It has been demonstrated in previous studies that bone metastases can be efficiently treated by electrochemotherapy. We developed a novel approach to treat spinal metastases, t…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in ovarian cancer. Growing number of articles reported the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and prognosis in ovarian…

Medical imaging technologies have become increasingly important in the clinical management of cancer, and now play key roles in cancer screening, diagnosis, staging, and monitoring response to treatment. Standard imaging modalities such as …
