Evidence is mounting to indicate that cancer patients may have more likelihood of having coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) but lack consistency. A robust estimate is urgently needed to convey appropriate information to the society and the public, in the time of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis through ...

The prognosis of patients with high-grade or advanced-stage endometrial cancer remains poor. As cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are thought to be associated with endometrial cancers, it is essential to investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate endometrial CSCs. Dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) functions as a negative-feedback regulator...

Ponatinib is a small molecule multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor clinically approved for anticancer therapy. Molecular mechanisms by which cancer cells develop resistance against ponatinib are currently poorly understood. Likewise, intracellular drug dynamics, as well as potential microenvironmental factors affecting the activity of this compound are ...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are considered as responsible for initiation, maintenance and recurrence of solid tumors, thus representing the key for tumor eradication. The antitumor activity of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from different stem cell sources has been investigated with conflicting results. In our study, we evaluated, both in vitro ...

Widespread adoption of primary human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening has encouraged the search for a triage test which retains high sensitivity for the detection of cervical cancer and precancer, but increases specificity to avoid overtreatment. Methylation analysis of FAM19A4 and miR124-2 genes has shown promise for the triage of high-risk (h...

Associations between previous joint replacement and B-cell lymphoid malignancies have been reported, but despite numerous reports, associations with the disease subtypes have received little attention. Using a UK-based register of haematological malignancies and a matched general population-based cohort, joint replacements from linked hospital inpa...

Complete and accurate registration of cancer is needed to provide reliable data on cancer incidence and to investigate aetiology. Such data can be derived from national cancer registries, but also from large population-based cohort studies. Yet, the concordance and discordance between these two data sources remain unknown. We evaluated completeness...
