Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1696: Updates in Cancer Cachexia: Clinical Management and Pharmacologic Interventions
abbro Despite a better understanding of the mechanisms causing cancer cachexia (CC) and development of promising pharmacologic and supportive care interventions, CC persists as an underdiagnosed and undertreated condition. CC contributes to fatigue, poor quality of life, functional impairment, increases treatment related toxicity, and reduces survival. The core elements of CC such as weight loss and poor appetite should be identified early. Currently, addressing contributing conditions (hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, and adrenal insufficiency), managing nutrition impact symptoms leading to decreased oral intake (nausea,...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1704: Endoscopic Diagnosis of Small Bowel Tumor
oto Recent technological advances, including capsule endoscopy (CE) and balloon-assisted endoscopy (BAE), have revealed that small intestinal disease is more common than previously thought. CE has advantages, including a high diagnostic yield, discomfort-free, outpatient basis, and physiological images. BAE enabled endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in the deep small bowel. Computed tomography (CT) enterography with negative oral contrast can evaluate masses, wall thickening, and narrowing of the small intestine. In addition, enhanced CT can detect abnormalities outside the gastrointestinal tract that endoscopy cannot ...

Comparison of endoscopic thyroidectomy via the oral vestibule approach and the areola approach for papillary thyroid carcinoma

Evaluation of Serum and Salivary Lactate Dehydrogenase Levels in Patients with Oral Potentially Malignant Conditions/Lesions: A Clinical and Biochemical Study
CONCLUSION: Higher serum and salivary LDH levels in Oral Potentially malignant lesions/conditions than in control groups signifies the importance of assessing salivary LDH levels, in the prognosis of the same. Further prospective longitudinal studies are required to assess the salivary LDH levels among the patients with malignant transformation of Oral Potentially malignant lesions/conditions to oral cancers.PMID:38665466 | PMC:PMC11042121 | DOI:10.4103/ijcm.ijcm_612_22 (Source: Cancer Control)

Calcitriol Treatment Decreases Cell Migration, Viability and β-Catenin Signaling in Oral Dysplasia
Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2024 Apr 2;46(4):3050-3062. doi: 10.3390/cimb46040191.ABSTRACTNearly 90% of oral cancers are characterized as oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), representing the sixth most common type of cancer. OSCC usually evolves from oral potentially malignant disorders that, in some cases, are histologically consistent with a oral dysplasia. The levels of 1α,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3; calcitriol), the active form of vitamin D3, have been shown to be decreased in patients with oral dysplasia and OSCC. Moreover, treatment with 1,25-(OH)2D3 has been proven beneficial in OSCC by inhibiting the Wnt/β-c...

Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2024 Mar 30;46(4):2991-3004. doi: 10.3390/cimb46040187.ABSTRACTFrankincense is produced by Boswellia trees, which can be found throughout the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia. Boswellia serrata extract has been shown to have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Periodontitis is an oral chronic inflammatory disease that affects nearly half of the US population. We investigated the antimicrobial effects of B. serrata extract on two oral pathogens associated with periodontitis. Using the minimum inhibitory concentration and crystal violet staining methods, we demonstrated th...

The Efficiency and Toxicity Of Anlotinib in Combination With Docetaxel Followed by Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide Regimen as Neoadjuvant Treatment in IIB to IIIA Triple Negative Breast Cancer: A Single-Arm, Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase II Study
CONCLUSION: The combination of anlotinib and EC-T chemotherapy demonstrated tolerable side effects in the neoadjuvant treatment of early TNBC. pCR was higher than what has been reported in previous clinical studies of chemotherapy alone. This study provides additional rationale for using anlotinib plus docetaxel-epirubicin-based chemotherapy regimen in patients with early-stage TNBCs.PMID:38670862 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2024.01.018 (Source: Clinical Breast Cancer)
