Elimination of dormant, autophagic ovarian cancer cells and xenografts through enhanced sensitivity to anaplastic lympho...
...Published in Cancer
Poor outcomes for patients with ovarian cancer relate to dormant, drug-resistant cancer cells that survive after primary surgery and chemotherapy. Ovarian cancer (OvCa) cells persist in poorly vascularized scars on the peritoneal surface and depend on autophagy to survive nutrient deprivation. The authors have sought drugs that target autophagic ca...
Mammography screening reduces rates of advanced and fatal breast cancers : Results in 549,091 women
...
Background It is of paramount importance to evaluate the impact of participation in organized mammography service screening independently from changes in breast cancer treatment. This can be done by measuring the incidence of fatal breast cancer, which is based on the date of diagnosis and not on the date of death. Methods Among 549,091 women, cove...
Spectrum of driver mutations and clinical impact of circulating tumor DNA analysis in non–small cell lung cancer: Analys...
...Published in Cancer
Circulating cell‐free tumor DNA‐based liquid biopsy using next‐generation sequencing detects a spectrum of targetable alterations at frequencies expected in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer. These findings support the concept of a plasma‐first algorithm at the time of progression on targeted therapy for this population.
Correlations between imatinib plasma trough concentration and adverse reactions in Chinese patients with gastrointestina...
Published in Cancer
Imatinib is the standard treatment for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), but there is significant variation in imatinib plasma trough concentrations (Cmin ) among patients. The imatinib Cmin distribution at different doses and the correlation of adverse reactions with Cmin in Chinese patients with GIST from a high-volume center...
A three-dimensional, anatomy-based nephrometry score to guide nephron-sparing surgery for renal sinus tumors.
...Published in Cancer
A quantitative nephrometry scoring system specifically for renal sinus tumors will assist in classifying surgical complexity and treatment planning. By using preoperative computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and 3-dimensional image reconstruction, 5 critical components were assessed: the ratio of the sinus area occupied by the tumor in ...

Published in Cancer
The surgical treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous tumor thrombus (VTT) is challenging. In the current study, the authors have reported their surgical outcomes and experience with en bloc retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy for patients with RCC with level 0 t...
Rare tumors in China: A step in the right direction.
Published in Cancer
The current status of and prospects in research regarding gastrointestinal stromal tumors in China.
Published in Cancer
China still lacks statistical data regarding the incidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Data from 3 regions have demonstrated that the incidence of GISTs in China is similar to that in the United States. Furthermore, no significant differences between both nations with regard to epidemiological characteristics and genotyping of GISTs...
