Preoperative nomogram for predicting spread through air spaces in clinical-stage IA non-small cell lung cancer using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography
ConclusionOur nomogram based on preoperative18F-FDG PET/CT radiological features and SUVmax effectively predicts STAS status in clinical-stage IA NSCLC. Furthermore, our study highlights that metabolic parameters and CT variables associated with STAS differ between solid and part-solid nodular NSCLC.

Advanced renal cell carcinoma management: the Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group (LACOG) and the Latin American Renal Cancer Group (LARCG) consensus update
ConclusionImmunotherapy and targeted therapy are the standards of care for advanced disease. The utilization and sequencing of these therapeutic agents hinge upon individual risk scores and responses to previous treatments. This consensus reflects a commitment to informed decision-making, drawn from professional expertise and evidence in the medical literature. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Comparison of the efficacy of enfortumab vedotin between patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who were treated with avelumab or pembrolizumab: real-world data from a multi-institutional study in Japan
ConclusionPFS was superior in patients treated with EV after avelumab to EV after pembrolizumab. However, OS showed no significant difference between the two groups. Because the prognosis of patients with cachexia is extremely poor, the initiation of EV should be discussed in these patients. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Safety and clinical efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced gastric cancer in the real world
ConclusionsThe results of this paper show that the occurrence of irAEs is associated with patients ’ OS. irAEs occurrence can prolong patients’ OS. irAEs occurrence may serve as a surrogate marker for ICIs. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Role of plasma EBV-DNA load and EBER status on newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma
ConclusionEBER, DNA1, and DNA4 emerged as sensitive markers for prognosis. CHOP plus azacytidine might present a preferable option for PTCL patients with DNA methylation due to EBV infection. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Long non-coding RNA RAD51-AS1 promotes the tumorigenesis of ovarian cancer by elevating EIF5A2 expression
ConclusionRAD51-AS1 promoted OvCA progression by the regulation of the miR-140-3p/EIF5A2 axis, which illustrated the potential therapeutic target for OvCA. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Prognostic utility and characteristics of MIB-1 labeling index as a proliferative activity marker in childhood low-grade glioma: a retrospective observational study
ConclusionThese data confirm a correlation of MIB-1 LI and radiologically detectable TGV in PLGG for the first time. Compared with preoperative TGV, a crucially decreasing correlation of MIB-1 LI and TGV after surgery may result in limited prognostic capability of MIB-1 LI in PLGG.

Effect of acute inflammatory reaction induced by biopsy on tumor microenvironment
AbstractWhen it comes to the diagnosis of solid tumors, biopsy is always the gold standard. However, traumatic and inflammatory stimuli are so closely related to tumor initiation and development that the acute inflammatory response induced by biopsy can give rise to changes in the tumor microenvironment, including recruitment of immunosuppressive cells (M2 macrophages, Treg cells, Tumor-associated neutrophils) and secretion of inflammation-associated cytokines, to create immunosuppressive conditions that enable the increase of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral circulation and promote the metastatic spread of tumors...

Prognostic impact of metabolic syndrome in patients with primary endometrial cancer: a retrospective bicentric study
ConclusionIn our analysis, MetS in patients with EC was not associated with impaired oncological outcome. However, our findings show that obesity itself is an important comorbidity associated with significantly reduced PFS. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Association of preoperative sarcopenia with the long-term prognosis of patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy
ConclusionSarcopenia was significantly associated with poor cancer-specific survival in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Detecting sarcopenia may assist in preoperative risk stratification and long-term management after radical cystectomy. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Identification and validation of tryptophan metabolism-related lncRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma prognosis and immune response
ConclusionWe constructed a new prognostic model for tryptophan metabolism-related lncRNA. The risk score was closely associated with common clinical features such as immune cell infiltration, immune-related function, TMB, and anticancer drug sensitivity. Knockdown of ZNF8-ERVK3-1 inhibited LUAD cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and G0/G1 phase blockade and promoted apoptosis. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Prospects of molecular hydrogen in cancer prevention and treatment
AbstractGas signaling molecules, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), have been shown to have cancer therapeutic potential, pointing to a new direction for cancer treatment. In recent years, a series of studies have confirmed that hydrogen (H2), a weakly reductive gas, also has therapeutic effects on various cancers and can mitigate oxidative stress caused by radiation and chemotherapy, reducing tissue damage and immunosuppression to improve prognosis. Meanwhile, H2 also has immunomodulatory effects, inhibiting T cell exhaustion and enhancing T cell anti-tumor function. It is worth...
