Improving Access to Standardized Fertility Preservation Information for Older Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer: ...

Published in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients under 40 should be made aware of their fertility risks and preservation options throughout their care. However, discussions on fertility preservation (FP) do not routinely occur. With a dearth of FP resources, oncology providers may lack knowledge around FP. Thus, informational needs can be unmet, le...

The Role of Incarceration and Reentry on Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Formerly Incarcerated Black and Hispanic-Lati...

Published in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education

In the USA, the rate of incarceration has steadily increased from 1980 to 2010, a period called mass incarceration. Incarcerated individuals are now leaving the jail system in large numbers, the majority of whom are returning to low-income and Black and Hispanic-Latino communities. Although highly preventable, colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significa...

Nonsupport Versus Varying Levels of Person-Centered Emotional Support: a Study of Women with Breast Cancer.

Published in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education

Social support studies often focus on psychological outcomes for the support recipient and also presume potential support providers who will attempt to provide support in the first place. Therefore, the negative relational outcomes associated with not receiving emotional support when support is expected (nonsupport) are an understudied topic. Insta...

Preclinical evaluation of mRNA trimannosylated lipopolyplexes as therapeutic cancer vaccines targeting dendritic cells

Clinical trials with direct administration of synthetic mRNAs encoding tumor antigens demonstrated safety and induction of tumor-specific immune responses. Their proper delivery to dendritic cells (DCs) requires their protection against RNase degradation and more specificity for dose reduction. Lipid-Polymer-RNA lipopolyplexes (LPR) are attractive ...

Effect of postoperative goal-directed therapy in cancer patients undergoing high-risk surgery: a randomized clinical tri...

The two funding sources were the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Edwards LTDA (Irvine, CA, USA), which had no other role in the study.

Molecular therapy using siRNA: Recent trends and advances of multi target inhibition of cancer growth.

Published in International journal of biological macromolecules

RNA interference (RNAi) therapy, harnessed to produce a new class of drugs for treatment, has drawn attention and seen steady progress over the years. Molecular therapy using biological macromolecules small interfering RNA (siRNA) for gene silencing has received significant attention to target cancer-related genes. Basically, siRNA molecules bind t...

Dual photoacoustic/ultrasound multi-parametric imaging from passion fruit-like nano-architectures.

Published in Nanomedicine : nanotechnology, biology, and medicine

Ultrasound (US) imaging is a well-established diagnostic technique to image soft tissues in real time, while photoacoustic (PA) is an emerging imaging technique employed to collect molecular information. Integration of PA and US imaging provides complementary information enhancing diagnostic accuracy without employing ionizing radiations. The devel...

First Total Synthesis of -Phenyl 6 Fatty Acids and their Leishmanicidal and Anticancer Properties.

Published in Current topics in medicinal chemistry

The first total synthesis of -phenyl 6 fatty acids (FA) and their cytotoxicity (A549) and leishmanicidal (L. infantum) activities are described. The novel 16-phenyl-6-hexadecynoic acid (1) and the known 16-phenylhexadecanoic acid (2) were synthesized in 7-8 steps with overall yields of 46 % and 41 %, respectively. The syntheses of the unprecedente...

Ozone therapy prevents the onset of dysplasia in HPV16-transgenic mice-A pre-clinical efficacy and safety analysis.

Published in Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie

Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), most often HPV16, is associated with the development of anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. Recently, ozone therapy was reported to have considerable efficacy against rabbit VX2 tumors, induced by the cottontail rabbit papillomavirus. The present study aims to determine whether similar results ...
