Background/Objectives: Sarcopenia is an emergent prognostic biomarker in clinical oncology. Albeit increasingly defined through skeletal muscle index (SMI) thresholding, the literature cut-offs fail to discern heterogeneous baseline muscularity acros...

Background: Acute kidney disease (AKD) is a recent definition reflecting ongoing physiopathological processes of an acute renal injury (AKI). Information on AKD in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is scarce and there is no available data on...

Background: Global colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is significant, constituting 15% of all cancer cases with 1.4 million new diagnoses annually. Recent research suggests categorizing CRC into three clinical groups: right colon cancer (RCC), left co...

Background: Chordoma is a rare primary tumor originating from embryonic notochord remnants, with limited systemic therapeutic options due to a poor understanding of its genomic landscape. This study aims to characterize the genetic alterations in cho...

S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is a key methyl donor that plays a critical role in a variety of cellular processes, such as DNA, RNA and protein methylation, essential for maintaining genomic stability, regulating gene expression and maintaining cellula...

Background: Tobacco use remains a global challenge to public health, accounting for almost eight million deaths per year worldwide, with a significant portion attributable to tobacco-related cancers. Examining the epidemiology of tobacco-related canc...

Background/Objectives: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains an incurable B-cell malignancy. B-CLL cells exhibit an extended lifespan in part due to the activation of survival pathways such as NF-kB. A crosstalk between NF-kB and GSK-3β pat...

Background: Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy have limited treatment options and poor life expectancy. The purpose of this study is to identify a serum metab...

Background/Objectives: 5DCT was first proposed in 2005 as a motion-compensated CT simulation approach for radiotherapy treatment planning to avoid sorting artifacts that arise in 4DCT when patients breathe irregularly. Since March 2019, 5DCT has been...

Background: Despite advances in the management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), prognostic models and treatment strategies remain inadequate, particularly for HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The rising inc...
