Background

Liquid biopsy has recently made it possible to use minimally invasive testing to examine tumor-derived material released into peripheral blood, including circulating tumor cells (CTCs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), and circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA). Lung pleomor...
The plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is a long non-coding RNA gene involved in human disease, mainly in cancer onset/progression. Although widely analysed, its biological roles need to be further clarified. Notably, functional studies on PVT1 are complicated by the occurrence of multiple ...

Background

Type-D (distressed) personality has not been prospectively explored for its association with psychosocial distress symptoms in breast cancer patients.

Objective

The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that Type-D personality can be associated with psychosocial...
Sorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), often encounters resistance within months of treatment, limiting its long-term efficacy. Despite extensive efforts, reliable plasma biomarkers to monitor drug activity remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that metabolic...

Introduction

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is a promising emerging imaging technology for detecting bone and soft tissue pathology, especially in the onco-hematological field. This study aims to evaluate cancer patients' experience of WB-MRI performed on a 3T scanner compare...

Background

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a poor prognosis grade 4 glioma. After surgical resection, the standard therapy consists of concurrent radiotherapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ) followed by TMZ alone. Our previous data on melanoma patients showed that Dendritic Cell vaccination (DCvax) could ...
Combining phenotypical and molecular characterization of rare cells is challenging due to their scarcity and difficult handling. In oncology, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are considered among the most important rare cell populations. Their phenotypic and molecular characterization is necessary to ...

Background and aims

Perioperative treatment is currently the gold standard approach in Europe for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC). Unfortunately, the phenomenon of patients dropping out of treatment has been frequently observed. The primary aims of this study were to verify if routine b...
Prostate cancer (PCa) risk categorization based on clinical/PSA testing results in a substantial number of men being overdiagnosed with indolent, early-stage PCa. Clinically non-significant PCa is characterized as the presence of ISUP grade one, where PCa is found in no more than two prostate biopsy...

Background

The presence of hypoxic cells in high-grade glioma (HGG) is one of major reasons for failure of local tumour control with radiotherapy (RT). The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) could help to overcome the problem of oxygen deficiency in poorly oxygenated regions of the tumou...
