Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with prostate cancer progression: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: This article highlights the importance of SNPs as potential markers of PCa progression and their possible functional relationship with some genes relevant to its development and progression. However, most variants were identified only in cohorts from two countries; no additional studies reproduce these findings.PMID:38055319 | DOI:10.1080/07357907.2023.2291776 (Source: Cancer Investigation)

Genomic Alterations of Signaling and DNA Damage Repair Pathways in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Cancer Invest. 2023 Nov 24:1-10. doi: 10.1080/07357907.2023.2288640. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to demonstrate the most common genetic alterations and evaluate possible targets involving phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PIK3)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways for personalized treatment in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Alterations of these pathways were observed in 89.5% and 100% of patients, respectively. Among them, BARD1 was more frequently altered in low/intermediate-risk cases, but PARP4 was more frequently af...
