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...

Decision regret of cancer patients after radiotherapy: results from a cross-sectional observational study at a large tertiary cancer center in Germany
ConclusionsThe German version of the DRS could be used to assess decision regret in a diverse cohort of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Decision regret was prevalent in a considerable proportion of patients. Further studies are necessary to validate these findings and obtain causal factors associated with decision regret after radiotherapy. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Overexpression of Transmembrane Phosphatase with Tensin homology (TPTE) in prostate cancer is clinically significant, suggesting its potential as a valuable biomarker
ConclusionOur findings indicate that increased TPTE expression is associated with progression of disease. The ability of anti-TPTE-p2 antibody to recognize and target the TPTE protein makes it a potential biomarker to assess and/or target the PCa.

Resveratrol ameliorates glioblastoma inflammatory response by reducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation through inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway
ConclusionsIn vitro, RSV can exert anti-tumor effects on GBM and improve the inflammatory response in the GBM microenvironment by inhibiting the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. These findings provide new insights into potential therapeutic targets for GBM. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)
