Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the liver is a rare disease that is difficult to diagnose until the pathology is confirmed. The age of the patients generally ranges from 18 to 83 years. The pathogenesis of primary SCC of the liver remains un...
The development of the field of nanotechnology has revolutionized various aspects in the fields of modern sciences. Nano-medicine is one of the primary fields for the application of nanotechnology techniques. The current study sheds light on the reno...
The use of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) is associated with multifaceted challenges and poor pharmacokinetics. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLNs)-based therapy has received attention as efficient carriers for a diversity of drugs....
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a specific anti-cancer agent that is generally used to treat gastrointestinal, colorectal, and breast cancer. In this work, chitosan (CS) was extracted from local fish scales using an established method. 5-FU was then convert...
Chemotherapy-induced mucositis (CIM) is a dose-limiting toxicity of cancer therapy that is mainly associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in epithelial cells. We investigated whether GV1001, a mitochondrial protective peptide from human telomerase...
Melanoma remains the most lethal form of skin cancer and most challenging to treat despite advances in the oncology field. Our work describes the utilization of nanotechnology to target melanoma locally in an attempt to provide an advanced and effici...
Treatment options of locoregional recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) include both local strategies as surgery or re-radiotherapy and systemic therapy. In this prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study, patients were treate...
Curcumin, a widely utilized flavor and coloring agent in food, has been shown to demonstrate powerful antioxidant, antitumor promoting and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. In the present work, synthesis of new heterocyclic derivativ...
New organometallic iridium compounds with phosphorus modified glucose ligands containing isopropylidene protection group or bearing uracil, thymine, and 5-fluorouracil (3,5,6-bicyclophosphite-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranoside, 3,5,6-bicy...
Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) is amongst the most prevalent cancer incidences, being the second most common amongst women and third most common amongst men as revealed by ‘GLOBOCAN 2022’ statistics. The projected morbidity for CRC is...
Metabolism plays a central role in cancer progression. Rewiring glucose metabolism is essential for fulfilling the high energy and biosynthetic demands as well as for the development of drug resistance. Nevertheless, the role of other diet-abundant n...
Backgrounds: This study explores the design of substituted tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) derivatives and their synthesis as possible inhibitors of mTOR inhibitors for targeted cancer therapy. Methods: Inspired by the structural characteristics of known m...
In colon cancer, wingless (Wnt)/β-catenin signaling is frequently upregulated; however, the creation of a molecular therapeutic agent targeting this pathway is still under investigation. This research aimed to study how nitazoxanide can affect Wnt/β-...
Background: Environmental pollution such as exposure to pro-carcinogens including benzo-α-pyrene is becoming a major problem globally. Moreover, the effects of benzo-α-pyrene (BaP) on drug pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug resi...
Background: Mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colorectal tumors constitute 5% of metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC). Immunotherapy is a new standard, but it is difficult to provide for all patients. 5-Flurouraci...
