This study employed untargeted serum metabolomics to delineate the specific metabolic landscape of cancer cachexia in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. By analyzing LC-MS raw data from 133 patients (64 discovery, 69 validation), we identified and validated key cachexia-associated meta...
Recent studies show red blood cell (RBC) plays an essential role in regulating immunity. Nevertheless, the association of immuno-inflammatory parameters, especially RBC balanced signatures, with survival outcomes and adverse events still require investigation for advanced breast cancer (ABC) pati...
The spread of cancer to bone is invariably fatal, with complex cross-talk between tumor cells and the bone microenvironment responsible for driving disease progression. By combining in silico analysis of patient datasets with metabolomic profiling of prostate cancer cells cultured with bone cells...
Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolis...
The effectiveness of immunotherapy varies among patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we investigated the baseline immune status in stage IV NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1 plus chemotherapy to understand the immune mechanisms and unveil systemic markers associated...
Cancer cells exhibit metabolic plasticity to meet oncogene-driven dependencies while coping with nutrient availability. A better understanding of how systemic metabolism impacts the accumulation of metabolites that reprogram the tumor microenvironment and drive cancer could facilitate development...
