Diagnosis and Management of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Polyc

Introduction Polycythemia vera (PV) is a hematological disorder classified under myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although there are seven subcategories under the MPN category, the term “MPN” is commonly reserved for the three pathological entities that lack the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph-) but carry mutations in the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), calreticulin […]

NPLOC4 is a potential target and a poor prognostic signature in lung squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Few prognostic biomarkers exist for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), which has a poor five-year survival rate. Using bioinformatics, this study evaluated NPLOC4 as a prognostic marker for patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma. Shorter survival periods and tumor growth were linked to high NPLOC4 expression.Disulfiram (DSF) combined with copper (Cu) targets NPLOC4 to […]

A deep dive into transmissible cancer evolution in bivalve mollusks

Transmissible cancer affects marine bivalve mollusks worldwide, but how genetic mechanisms influence cancer evolution and disease spread remains largely unexplored. Two new studies provide insights into the ancient origin of founder clones and the long-term tolerance of contagious cancer cells to extreme genome instability. Two studies in this issue of Nature Cancer set out to […]

Liver Tumors and Cancer

Physicians and scientists from Fred Hutch and UW Medicine are testing new treatments for liver cancer and discovering new ways to use current liver cancer treatments. Through this work, we are looking for answers to two main questions: How can we do even better at controlling or curing liver cancer? How can we make treatments […]
