Les voilements et dévoilements ordinaires de l'épreuve du cancer
L’expérience du cancer se caractérise par une déstructuration du quotidien, affectant les lignes biographiques, professionnelles et familiales, des personnes. Le contrôle de cette épreuve implique des activités de voilement et de dévoilement de la maladie variant selon les parcours de vie des malades et les situations sociales dans lesquelles ils s...
Moraxella nonliquefaciens bloodstream infection and sepsis in a pediatric cancer patient: case report and literature rev...
Published in BMC Infectious Diseases
BackgroundMoraxella nonliquefaciens is a usually non-pathogenic biofilm-producing Gram-negative coccobacillus which may colonize the upper respiratory tract, rarely causing invasive disease. Although very rare, bloodstream infections caused by this organism have been described, showing often a fatal outcome. Here, we report the case of a pediatric ...
The prognostic value of long noncoding RNA SNHG16 on clinical outcomes in human cancers: a systematic review and meta-an...
Published in Cancer Cell International
BackgroundCancer has been a worldwide health problem with a high risk of morbidity and mortality, however ideal biomarkers for effective screening and diagnosis of cancer patients are still lacking. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) is newly identified lncRNA with abnormal expression in several human malignancies. However, its prognostic va...
Describing mortality trends for major cancer sites in 133 intermediate regions of Brazil and an ecological study of its ...
Published in BMC Cancer
BackgroundIn Brazil, 211 thousand (16.14%) of all death certificates in 2016 identified cancer as the underlying cause of death, and it is expected that around 320 thousand will receive a cancer diagnosis in 2019. We aimed to describe trends of cancer mortality from 1996 to 2016, in 133 intermediate regions of Brazil, and to discuss macro-regional ...
Depression and anxiety among people living with and beyond cancer: a growing clinical and research priority
Published in BMC Cancer
BackgroundA cancer diagnosis can have a substantial impact on mental health and wellbeing. Depression and anxiety may hinder cancer treatment and recovery, as well as quality of life and survival. We argue that more research is needed to prevent and treat co-morbid depression and anxiety among people with cancer and that it requires greater clinica...
MicroRNAs’ control of cancer cell dormancy
Published in Cell Division
‘Dormancy’, in the context of carcinogenesis, is a biological phenomenon of decreased cancer cell proliferation and metabolism. In view of their ability to remain quiescent, cancer cells are able to avoid cell death induced by chemotherapeutic agents, and thereby give rise to tumor relapse at a later stage. Being a dynamic event, the dormant state ...
Epanorin, a lichen secondary metabolite, inhibits proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells
...Published in Biological Research
BackgroundEpanorin (EP) is a secondary metabolite of the Acarospora lichenic species. EP has been found in lichenic extracts with antimicrobial activity, and UV-absorption properties have been described for closely related molecules; however, its antiproliferative activity in cancer cells has not yet been explored. It has been hypothesized that EP ...

Past history of stage I/II solid tumor malignancy impacts considerably on sepsis mortality: a propensity score matching ...
...Published in BMC Infectious Diseases
BackgroundWhether past history of solid stage I/II inactive cancer has an impact on 28-day mortality of sepsis remains unclear. We aimed to determine the impact of history of stage I or II solid tumor malignancy in complete remission the last 3 years on sepsis outcome.MethodsUsing the database of the Hellenic Sepsis Study Group from 1553 patients w...
