Plasma proteome of growing tumors

Abstract Early detection of cancer is vital for the best chance of successful treatment, but half of all cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. A simple and reliable blood screening test applied routinely would therefore address a major unmet medical need. To gain insight into the value of protein biomarkers in early detection and […]

microRNA sequencing for biomarker detection in the diagnosis, classification and prognosis of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Abstract Despite being considered a single disease, Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) presents with variable backgrounds, which results in heterogeneous outcomes among patients, with 40% of them still having primary refractory disease or relapse. Thus, novel biomarkers are needed. In addition, multiple factors regarding its pathogenesis remain unclear. In this context, recent investigations point […]

Score Can Predict Risk of Second Cancers in Pediatric Cancer Survivors

A polygenic risk score can predict the risk of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs) in pediatric cancer survivors who were treated with chemotherapy, according to research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.   The 179-variant score, which was previously validated in adults, “has strong potential for improving SMN clinical risk stratification among nonirradiated [pediatric cancer] […]

Clinical outcome of Mantle Cell Lymphoma patients with high-risk disease (high-risk MIPI-c or high p53 expression)

Abstract Currently, treatment allocation of patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is mainly based on age and medical fitness. The combined MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI-c) allows to predict prognosis using clinical factors (MIPI) and the Ki-67 index. However, high p53 expression as surrogate for TP53 alterations has demonstrated to be an independent predictor for […]

Evolutionary histories of breast cancer and related clones

Abstract Recent studies have documented frequent evolution of clones carrying common cancer mutations in apparently normal tissues, which are implicated in cancer development1,2,3. However, our knowledge is still missing with regard to what additional driver events take place in what order, before one or more of these clones in normal tissues ultimately evolve to cancer. […]

The relation between obesity and breast cancer risk in women by considering menstruation status and geographical variations: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Identification and description of the studies One hundred and two studies were included in this meta-analysis. Forty eight studies reported an association between obesity and breast cancer in pre-menopausal women, and 67 studies showed a relationship between obesity and breast cancer in post-menopausal women. 34 studies (4 cross-sectional,18 case–control, and 12 cohort) with a total […]
