Screening and Outcomes of Hereditary Cancer Syndromes: A Study at an Urban Safety Net Hospital Study Background Patients with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes (HCS) have a higher lifetime risk of developing cancer. Historically, underserved populations have lower rates of genetic evaluation. Hence, researchers aim to understand the demographic factors i...

Genomic Characteristics of a Rare Pancreatic Cancer Undifferentiated Sarcomatoid Carcinoma Subtype Academic Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers, characterized by early invasion and metastasis. Undifferentiated Sarcomatoid Carcinoma (USC) is a particularly aggressive but rare subtype of PDAC, accounting...

Research Report on CDK12 Structural Rearrangements in Brain Metastases of Breast Cancer Background and Purpose Breast Cancer (BC) is the second most common solid tumor involving the Central Nervous System (CNS). Brain Metastases from Breast Cancer (BCBMs) are becoming increasingly common among patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with a...

The Expression of High-Dimensional Mapping of Human CEACAM1 on Immune Cells and Its Association with Melanoma Drug Resistance Research Background Human Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (CEACAM1) is an inhibitory cell surface protein that acts through homophilic and heterophilic ligand binding. The expression of this protein...

The study...

Tumor Cell-Intrinsic PD-L1 Signaling Induces Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) Predicting Poor Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in PD-L1 High-Expressing Lung Cancer Research Background and Motivation In cancer immunotherapy, Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibits immune responses by binding to Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptors o...

Achieving Synergistic Antitumor Activity by Dual Blocking of CCR1 and CXCR2 Expression in Myeloid Cells Background Introduction Colorectal Cancer (CRC) poses a global health crisis, with its incidence and mortality rates rapidly rising in recent years. Over the past 15 years, the mortality rate of CRC has increased by more than 30%, and it is expec...

Contribution of HMHA1/ARHGAP45 Expression Induced by Hypoxia and Post-Radiation Reoxygenation to Cancer Cell Invasion: An HIF-Dependent Mechanism Background and Motivation Prior studies have extensively demonstrated that cancer cells in solid tumors acquire malignant characteristics such as invasiveness and treatment resistance under hypoxic condit...

Overview of Genomics in Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma: A Data Integration Analysis Based on Three Major Databases Background and Significance of the Study Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare tumor, but its incidence has increased in recent years, especially in duodenal adenocarcinoma. Approximately 20% of SBA patients have certain susceptibilit...

Study on the Key Role of Oncofetal snrpe in the Tumorigenesis and Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Research Background and Purpose Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most prevalent cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. However, due to the lack of understanding of key molecular events in tumors, effec...
