Circulating serum exosomes i-tRF-AspGTC and tRF-1-SerCGA as diagnostic indicators for non-small cell lung cancer
ConclusionThe expression of serum exosomes i-tRF-AspGTC and tRF-1-SerCGA was significantly downregulated in NSCLC patients. These exosomes could be used as predictive indicators for diagnosis or early diagnosis of NSCLC. (Source: Clinical and Translational Oncology)

Association between thyroid disorders and extra-thyroidal cancers, a review
AbstractThyroid hormone has been shown to have both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing actions, which has led to significant debate over its involvement in the development of cancer. Proliferation, apoptosis, invasiveness, and angiogenesis are all aspects of cancer that are affected by the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, according to research conducted in animal models and in vitro experiments. The effects of thyroid hormones on cancer cells are mediated by many non-genomic mechanisms, one of which involves the activation of the plasma membrane receptor integrin αvβ3. Typically, abnormal amounts of thyroid hormones are li...

The diagnostic and prognostic value of exosomal microRNAs in lung cancer: a systematic review
ConclusionsExosomal miRNAs are valuable biomarkers in lung cancer patients. Exosomal miR-486-5p and miR-451a can be used as new diagnostic biomarkers for lung cancer. Dysregulated exosomal miRNAs could serve as indicators of survival outcomes in lung cancer patients. (Source: Clinical and Translational Oncology)
