Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) refers to the combined administration of both chemotherapy and radiotherapy as an anticancer treatment. Over the years, CRT has become an established treatment for a diverse range of locally advanced solid tumours. The rationale for CRT is based on the two concepts of spatial cooperation and in-field cooperation, whereby the...

The evaluation of the whole skeletal muscle area at the level of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography (CT) scans has often detected loss of skeletal muscle mass, defined as sarcopenia, and reduced skeletal muscle radiation attenuation (SMRA) in patients with different malignancies. Baseline sarcopenia has been detected in 33.3%-51.8% of...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Involvement of the groin region can cause interesting presentations but, as of 2020, has rarely been investigated. Our aim was to assess the clinicopathological and prognostic features of GIST appearing in this specific part of the body. We investigated the world ...

Our understanding of cancer risk from neutron exposure is limited. We aimed to reveal the characteristics of mammary carcinomas induced by neutrons. Mammary carcinomas obtained from female Sprague-Dawley rats irradiated at 7 weeks of age with 0.97 Gy neutrons or 4 Gy γ-rays and from non-irradiated rats were classified into luminal and non-luminal s...

We aimed to develop a rapid, simple procedure and an algorithm for quantitative analysis and classification of the metastatic risk of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) for clinical use. Eighteen specimens from laparoscopic local gastrectomy were assessed by flow cytometry. We devised a new risk classification for GIST by combining flow cytome...

We investigated the prognostic impact of hemoglobin (Hb) levels in tumour patients receiving routine cardiological surveillance during anticancer treatment. The aim of the study was to identify independent predictors of all-cause mortality in a cardio-oncological collective. A total of 551 patients (273 males, 278 females) were enrolled in the Mann...

Colon cancer is the second deadliest malignancy for human. Its correlation with obesity has led to an increasing number of studies focusing on the role of adipokines in colon cancer development. Apelin, which belongs to the family of adipokines, affects several pathological processes, including heart diseases, obesity and carcinogenesis. In this st...

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is aggressive and confers poor prognosis. Although SCLC shows more response to chemotherapy than other types of lung cancer, it is difficult to cure because of its frequent recurrence. New drugs and molecular targets need to be identified. We investigated the effect of nelfinavir, an HIV protease inhibitor, on SCLC cel...

To investigate the level of agreement between three non-invasive methods for hrHPV diagnosis in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC, OPSCC) and in oral mucosal lesions. For hrHPV DNA FTA Elute card™ and Anyplex II HPV28™ were used and for hrHPV mRNA PreTect SEE™ in tumour patients (n=60), non-tumour lesions (n=51), immunosuppressio...

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) enables visualisation of the distribution of specific proteins, the differentiation of benign and malignant tumours, and the site and origin of a primary tumour. Surgical pathologists commonly examine tumours with extensive necrosis or non-viable tissue that may affect an accurate diagnosis. We investigated the sensitivit...
