Effects of different surgical approaches on health-related quality of life in pediatric and adolescent patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma
ConclusionFor children and adolescents with papillary thyroid carcinoma at low risk of recurrence, bilateral thyroidectomy is associated with a lower HRQOL than unilateral thyroidectomy. Surgeons should consider tumor impact and HRQOL when selecting the most appropriate surgical method. (Source: Hormones and Cancer)

Comprehensive analysis of DNA methylation gene expression profiles in GEO dataset reveals biomarkers related to malignant transformation of sinonasal inverted papilloma
ConclusionsBy analyzing the methylation dataset, we obtained four up-regulated methylation genes UCKL1, GSTT1, HLA-G and MAML2 and one down-regulated gene NRGN. MAML2, a tumor suppressor gene with high methylation modification but loss of protein expression, and NRGN, a tumor gene with low methylation modification but upregulated protein expression, can be used as biological indicators to judge the malignant transformation of SNIP-SCC.

The mechanism of action and experimental verification of Gan-song Yin on renal clear cell carcinoma based on network pharmacology and bioinformatics
ConclusionsNetwork pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis showed that GSY could act on multiple targets through a variety of components to achieve the effect of treating KIRC. In this study, we confirmed that GSY inhibits KIRC by regulating the expression of core targets through in vitro cellular experiments, thus providing a reference for subsequent related studies.

Visual conservation treatment dilemmas in neuroblastoma with bilateral blindness
ConclusionNeuroblastoma with bilateral blindness is rare in the clinic, mostly in children of young age, and is often associated withMYCN amplification and multiple metastases. Early hormone shock therapy and optic nerve decompression are beneficial for preserving the child ’s vision. A joint multi-disciplinary treatment may help in the formulation of treatment decisions. Achieving a balance between good visual preservation and survival within the short optic nerve neurotherapeutic window is extremely challenging. (Source: Hormones and Cancer)
