Applications of Quantum Dots in Preventive Oncology
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2024 Mar 1;25(3):747-756. doi: 10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.747.ABSTRACTQDs are semiconductor nanocrystalline materials with distinct optical and electronic characteristics due to their microscopic size and quantum mechanical properties. They are often composed of materials such as cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or indium phosphide (InP) and are typically in the size range of 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter. These tiny particles are used in various scientific and technological applications. Some key characteristics and applications of quantum dots are size-dependent Optical Propertie...

Association of COX-2, TNF- α, TLR4, and IKKα With Survival of Patients With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: COX-2 overexpression may be associated with a poorer prognosis in oral SCC. The insufficiency of studies about TNF-α, TLR4, and IKKα restrained their validation as predictors of prognosis.PMID:38546058 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.757 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2024 Mar 1;25(3):767-776. doi: 10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.767.ABSTRACTStudies on the CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphism show that this polymorphism is involved in development of breast cancer, but its specific relationships or effects are not consistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer. PubMed, Scopus, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CNKI were searched for eligible studies through February 01, 2023. A total of ten studies with 2093 cases and 2302 controls were included in this m...

Statin Use and Liver Cancer Risk: A Meta-Epidemiological Study of Retrospective Cohort Studies by the Types of Constructed Cohort
CONCLUSION: The lack of statistical significance in NPo supports the argument that the conclusions of existing systematic reviews on RSC have low validity. It is necessary to conduct a subgroup meta-analysis of the NPo, NPa, and HPa proposed in this study when conducting a systematic review of RSCs, which will evaluate various outcomes of a specific drug intake with time-varying exposure.PMID:38546060 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.777 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Risk-Stratified Breast Cancer Screening in Malaysia: Challenges and Opportunities
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Identifying a valid and appropriate risk model tailored to the population profile and needs of Malaysian women and conducting a pilot project of risk-stratified screening, guided by implementation science would provide lessons and insights for policymakers, health service managers, and public and primary health care professionals. The results of these activities would increase the likelihood that decisions and plans would lead to the successful implementation in Malaysia of a sustainable and effective breast cancer screening strategy that incorporates a patient-sensitive, risk-stratified appr...

Meta-Analysis of Incidence and Mortality of Firefighter Cancer: An Update on Emerging Science
CONCLUSIONS: The findings underscore the global cancer burden among firefighters, and indicate that geographically stratifying studies afford a more nuanced risk perspective. Further research should investigate why US firefighters exhibit higher cancer mortality rates compared to international counterparts.PMID:38546063 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.801 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Awareness and Acceptability for Primary Prevention of Cervical Cancer in Pakistan: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: It is important to address the knowledge gaps existing in the community about HPV vaccine acceptability and barriers against it for the successful rollout of the HPV vaccination program in Pakistan. Mass awareness campaigns about HPV, HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer are needed to increase the acceptability of HPV vaccine among public at the time of reintroducing HPV vaccine.PMID:38546064 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.813 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Prevalence of BK and JC Polyomaviruses among Patients with Breast Cancer
DISCUSSION: The findings of the current investigation demonstrate that there was an absence of JC virus detection in the breast biopsy. Additionally, a small fraction of patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma exhibited a low prevalence of genotype IV polyomavirus BK at a rate of 2%. However, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the incidence of BKV and JCV in breast cancer, a substantial number of breast samples must undergo investigation.PMID:38546065 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.821 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

A Comparative Analysis on the Potential Anticancer Properties of Tetrahydrocannabinol, Cannabidiol, and Tetrahydrocannabivarin Compounds Through In Silico Approach
CONCLUSION: Overall, in silico predictions of the three cannabinoid compounds revealed that they are good candidates for oral drug formulation. Among the three cannabinoids, THCV is an excellent anticancer aspirant for future chemotherapy with the most favorable results in drug-likeness and ADMET analysis, pharmacological properties evaluation, and cytotoxicity assessment results. Further study on bioevaluation of compounds is needed to elucidate their potential pharmacological activities.PMID:38546067 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.839 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

High P16INK4A Expression, Keratinizing Features, and Surgical Margin-Free Status are Associated with Improved Survival in Patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas
CONCLUSION: P16INK4A positive staining, early stages, negative cervical lymph node infiltration, and free-surgical margins are associated with better prognosis in OSCC patients. The study emphasizes the importance of early detection and the potential use of p16INK4A and other clinical variables to stratify OSCC patients with high risks of recurrence and worse overall survivals.PMID:38546068 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.857 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Determinants of Quit Attempts and Short-Term Abstinence among Smokeless Tobacco Users in India: Global Adult Tobacco Survey, 2016-17
CONCLUSION: Quit advice by healthcare providers is an influential determinant of a quit attempt, and this intervention needs to be scaled up. The media messages and warning labels were effective among those who considered quitting after noticing them. Cessation methods can help prolong the abstinence from smokeless tobacco, but the reach of cessation methods is limited.PMID:38546070 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.875 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)
