Identifying MRI-based radiomics features capable to assess response to systemic treatment in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Retrospective analysis of whole-body MR-image data in 67 consecutive stage III MM patients (40 men; mean age, 60.4 years). Bo...

The 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) included a positive lymph node count (PLNC), but a comparison of the prognostic predictive power of PLNC and lymph node ratio (LNR) is still under de...

Since 2016, large nested urothelial carcinoma (LNUC) has been included within the WHO classification of urothelial tumors. Limited reports with mainly small case series have confirmed the malignant behavior of LNUC despite its bland morphological app...

A hallmark of human cancer is global DNA hypomethylation (GDHO), but the mechanisms accounting for this defect and its pathological consequences have not been investigated in human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In EOC, GDHO was associated with adv...

Nonsense-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) decay (NMD) is a surveillance pathway used by cells to control the quality mRNAs and to fine-tune transcript abundance. NMD plays an important role in cell cycle regulation, cell viability, DNA damage response,...

Malignant melanoma is among the most aggressive skin cancers and it has among the highest metastatic potentials. Although surgery to remove the primary tumor is the gold standard treatment, once melanoma progresses and metastasizes to the lymph nodes...

Objective: to analyze the evolution of surgical techniques and strategies, and to determine their influence on the survival of patients with stage III or IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods: a retrospective data analysis was performed in two...

In ovarian cancer, upregulation of the Wnt/β–catenin pathway leads to chemoresistance and correlates with T cell exclusion from the tumor microenvironment (TME). Our objectives were to validate these findings in an independent cohort of ov...

TP53, the most commonly-mutated gene in cancer, undergoes complex alternative splicing. Different TP53 transcripts play different biological roles, both in normal function and in the progression of diseases such as cancer. The study of TP53’s a...

Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs), which are a type of covalently closed circular RNA, are receiving increasing attention. An increasing amount of evidence suggests that circRNAs are involved in the biogenesis and development of multiple diseases...
