Large language models as decision aids in neuro-oncology: a review of shared decision-making applications
AbstractShared decision-making (SDM) is crucial in neuro-oncology, fostering collaborations between patients and healthcare professionals to navigate treatment options. However, the complexity of neuro-oncological conditions and the cognitive and emotional burdens on patients present significant barriers to achieving effective SDM. This discussion explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard to overcome these barriers, offering a means to enhance patient understanding and engagement in their care. LLMs, by providing accessible, personalized information, could support but...

Upregulation of the histone γ-H2AX correlates with worse patient survival and basal-like subtype in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Conclusionγ-H2AX can be characterized as a predictive biomarker for poorer patient survival. Consequently, upcoming clinical trials focused on the efficacy of targeted therapies influencing the DNA repair system and radiotherapy should evaluate γ-H2AX as a potential biomarker for therapy response. Furthermo re, γ-H2AX may serve as a viable target for treatment in the future. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Synchronous versus metachronous spinal metastasis: a comparative study of survival outcomes following neurosurgical treatment
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the timing of SM diagnosis (synchronous versus metachronous) does not significantly affect survival outcomes following neurosurgical treatment for SM. These results support the consideration of neurosurgical procedures regardless of the temporal pattern of SM manifestation. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

A comprehensive analysis of CD47 expression in various histological subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma: exploring novel opportunities for macrophage-directed treatments
ConclusionThis study highlights the potential of the CD47 molecule as a promising immunotherapeutic target in STS, particularly given its elevated expression levels in diverse sarcoma types. Our data showed a notable trend linking CD47 expression to tumor grade, while also suggesting an interesting correlation between enhanced abundance of CD47 expression and a reduced hazard risk of disease progression. Although these findings shed light on different roles of CD47 in STS, further research is crucial to assess its potential in clinical settings.

Improved survival over time with immunotherapy in locally advanced and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas
ConclusionsPatients with acSCC are usually very frail and elderly. OS increased over time, with a twofold improvement between periods 1 and 2, whereas progression-free survival (PFS) did not increase. Access to immunotherapy reduced mortality in a majority of patients in period 2. Immunosuppression and advanced age were associated with lower PFS.

The antagonistic effect of FTO on METTL14 promotes AKT3 m6A demethylation and the progression of esophageal cancer
AbstractBackgroundAs the most abundant modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs),N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays vital roles in many biological processes.MethodsMethylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and transcriptomic RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were used to screen for m6A targets in esophageal cancer cells and patients. The role of m6A RNA methylase in esophageal cancer was also analyzed using bioinformatics. In vitro and in vivo experiments were used to analyze gene expression and function. CCK-8, colony formation, cell apoptosis and immunofluorescence staining assays were performed to evaluate th...

Psoralen: a narrative review of current and future therapeutic uses
AbstractPsoralen is a family of naturally occurring photoactive compounds found in plants that acquire potential cytotoxicity when activated by specific frequencies of electromagnetic waves. Psoralens penetrate the phospholipid cellular membranes and insert themselves between the pyrimidines of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Psoralens are initially biologically inert and acquire photoreactivity when exposed to certain classes of electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet light. Once activated, psoralens form mono- and di-adducts with DNA, leading to marked cell apoptosis. This apoptotic effect is more pronounced in tumor...
