Heritability of cancers in Japanese population: Estimation from recent cohort data
Clin Genet. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1111/cge.14535. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancers are genetically categorized into common diseases showing a so-called multifactorial inheritance except for rare familial cancers. And as a measure to estimate the strength of genetic factors in the multifactorial diseases, heritability (h2) is generally used. However, there have been few reports on the estimation of heritability for cancers. We calculated the heritability from the incidence in subject population and the familial recurrence rate in first-degree relatives of the affected for cancers quoting the data from a large-scale pros...

Successful treatment with nivolumab in a patient with gastric cancer with severe liver failure resulting from multiple liver metastases: A case report
Oncol Lett. 2024 Apr 18;27(6):271. doi: 10.3892/ol.2024.14404. eCollection 2024 Jun.ABSTRACTGastric cancer (GC) is a globally prevalent and deadly malignancy often diagnosed at advanced stages, which can be accompanied by liver metastases. Conventional chemotherapy is contraindicated in patients with severe liver failure because several chemotherapeutic agents are metabolized by the liver. The present study reports on the successful use of nivolumab in a patient with advanced GC and severe liver failure owing to multiple liver metastases. A 57-year-old man was admitted to Shimane Prefectural Central Hospital (Izumo, Japan)...

Free TcO4- in 99mTc-PSMA Scan: A Case Report and Review of an Old Pitfall in the New Era of Modern Imaging
Clin Nucl Med. 2024 Apr 30. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000005240. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn a recent 99mTc-HYNIC-PSMA study conducted at our department, we examined 2 patients with prostate cancer referred for initial staging on the same day. The whole-body scans revealed radiotracer uptake in the gastric mucosa and thyroid glands, alluding to high levels of free TcO4- in the injected vial. The scans were repeated after confirming acceptable radiopharmaceutical purity of 97% (normal range, 95%-100%). Interestingly, 1 patient had liver metastases at presentation, which remained non-PSMA-avid after repeating the scan. We...

The Epstein-Barr virus-miRNA-BART6-5p regulates TGF- β/SMAD4 pathway to induce glycolysis and enhance proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells
CONCLUSION: In this study, we found that EBV-miRNA-BART6-5p can target SMAD4, effectively increasing glycolysis in gastric cancer cells by regulating the TGF-β/SMAD4 signaling pathway, thereby enhancing the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells. Our findings may offer new insights into the metabolic aspects of gastric cancer.PMID:38686046 | PMC:PMC11055990 | DOI:10.32604/or.2024.046679 (Source: Oncology Research)

Exploring the Antitumor Efficacy of PEGylated Liposomes Loaded with Licorice Extract for Cancer Therapy
CONCLUSION: These results have been corroborated by apoptosis assays, which have demonstrated GA PEG-Lip and Lic PEG-Lip to induce stronger apoptotic effects compared to free GA and Lic on both PC-3 and AGS cells. This study has underscored the potential of encapsulating GA and Lic in PEG-Lip as a promising strategy to augment their anticancer efficacy against prostate and gastric cancers.PMID:38685810 | DOI:10.2174/0115680096292153240416115744 (Source: Current Cancer Drug Targets)

EBV-Associated Gastric Cancer; An In Situ Hybridization Assay on Tissue Microarray: A Multi-Region Study from Four Major Provinces of Iran
CONCLUSION: EBV-associated gastric adenocarcinoma has a low prevalence in Iran. This finding can be due to epidemiologic differences in risk factors and exposures, and the low number of gastric medullary carcinomas in the population. It may also be related to gastric tumor heterogeneity not detected with the TMA technique.PMID:38685845 | DOI:10.34172/aim.2024.28 (Source: Archives of Iranian Medicine)
