Background: JAK2 V617F is a somatic mutation associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). In MPNs, this mutation is associated with the germline...

The use of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR T-cells) for the treatment of patients with malignant haematological diseases has become a well-established application for conditions such as refractory or relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-A...

Liver cancer imposes a pervasive global health challenge, ranking among the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Its prevalence and mortality rates are on a concerning upward trajectory and exacerbated by the dearth of efficacious treatment options. The...

Controlled study designs usually report that physical exercise improves the health of women living with breast cancer. However, many of these women are not sufficiently active to experience the benefits of exercise. The main objective was to analyze...

Strategies for tackling cancer involve surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICB). However, the effectiveness of ICB remains constrained, prompting the need for a proactive strategy to foresee treatment responses and...

Whole-genome sequencing has revealed that TP53, NOTCH1, ATM, SF3B1, BIRC3, ABL, NXF1, BCR, and ZAP70 are often mutated in CLL, but not consistently across all CLL patients. This paper employs a statistical thermodynamics approach in combination with...

As precision medicine such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy often have limited accessibility, low response rate, and evolved resistance, it is urgent to develop simple, low-cost, and quick-turnaround personalized diagnostic technologies for drug...

Background: PD1 and its ligand PD-L1 are related to prognosis in many solid tumors; however, their role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. Methods: A retrospective monocentric study including all patients with OSCC diagnosed and...

Immunotherapy has paved the way for the development of solid tumor new treatments in the last decade. The approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti PD-1/PD-L1 provided a revolution with optimal results. However, a considerable proportion...
