Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) displays a complex pattern of inheritance. It is postulated that much of the missing heritability of CRC is enriched in high-impact rare alleles, which might play a crucial role in the etiology and susceptibility o...

Background: FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations or internal tandem duplication occur in 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases. In these cases, FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i) are approved for induction treatment and relapse. Allogeneic hematopoie...

The growth rate of sporadic VS varies considerably, posing challenges for consistent clinical management. This systematic review examines data on factors associated with VS growth, following a protocol registered in the PROSPERO database. The analysi...

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. The zinc finger transcription factor 281 (ZNF281)/ZBP-99 protein specifically binds to GC-rich DNA sequences and regulates gene expression, and it has been shown to p...

Background: Similar in histological characteristics and clinical manifestations, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) can develop following lung transplantation (LTx) or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In contrast to lung transplantation...

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of biomarkers for head and neck cancer (HNC), a prevalent but molecularly diverse malignancy. We detail the roles of key proteins and genes in tumourigenesis and progression, emphasizing their...

Background: A prognostic marker in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies must be established. This study explored serum cytokeratin fraction 21–1 (CYFRA 21-1), which represents a squamous cell...

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is an increasingly common and potentially lethal form of skin cancer. Current staging systems based on clinical and pathological features have limitations in accurately predicting outcomes, particularly for early-stage...

Introduction: Small bowel cancer is very rare; although the incidence of adenocarcinoma and other anatomopathological forms has increased recently, the diagnosis and treatment of this disease are still debatable because of the clinical heterogeneity...

Background: Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation often have limited utility for advanced metastatic disease in the liver, and despite its promising activity in select cancers, PD-1 blockade therapy similarly has minimal benefit in this setting. Curax...
