Immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody–drug conjugates have rapidly expanded treatment options for gynecologic malignancies, although the magnitude of benefit varies substantially across tumor types and biomarker-defined populations. This na...
Exercise-induced myokines, such as IL-6, irisin, and myostatin, play crucial roles in mediating systemic adaptations and modulating tumor progression. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on how regular moderate-intensity exercise affects the m...
Background/Objectives: Korea has undergone rapid epidemiological transitions in cancer incidence over the past two decades. Using a 25-year nationwide dataset (1999–2023), we characterize long-term trends for 61 cancer types, examine inter-canc...
Background: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a clinically important complication of anthracycline- and trastuzumab-based treatment in breast cancer. Inflammatory pathways may contribute to cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction, and the CD40/...
Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a major global health challenge due to the lack of effective and non-invasive diagnostic tools, often resulting in late-stage detection of cancer. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) h...
