Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebral blood vessels. It is common not only in the elderly and almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but can also occur independently of other AD-related pathologies. The presence and severity of CAA promote the progression of AD-related cl...
Research Report on Claudin 18.2 in Gastric Cancer and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma Background Introduction Gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma are major global health burdens. It is estimated that in 2020 alone, there were approximately 1.7 million new cases of gastric and esophageal cancers worldwide, wi...
Phase II Study of Erdafitinib in Patients with FGFR Amplifications: A Detailed Report Background Dysregulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) family signaling pathways is widely recognized to be associated with cancer development, progression, and treatment resistance. This study primarily investigates tumors with FGFR1-4 amplification...
Overall Survival and Treatment Patterns in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Based on PTEN Status Academic Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among men worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Approximately 10%-20% of prostate cancer patients will develop castration-resistant ...
In the tumor microenvironment (Tumor Microenvironment, TME), Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 enhance the body’s natural ability to eliminate cancer cells by disrupting the inhibitory receptor-ligand interaction. However, even so, critical trials indicate that the response rate for monotherapy is <50%, with a median Progr...
Prognostic Model of Pulmonary High-grade Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: Integrating Genomic Analysis and Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase-1 Expression Research Background High-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma (HGNEC) of the lung is a highly aggressive cancer with significant biological complexity. Despite its association with Notch pathway activation and inact...
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and deadly tumor types in women. In recent years, Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have shown encouraging clinical results in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Numerous studies have found that patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) benefit more from PARPi treatment. Therefore, ...
Cross-Cancer Study Reveals Biallelic Inactivation of MUTYH and Base Excision Repair Defects in Different Types of Solid Tumors Research Background In daily life, cells are often exposed to endogenous and exogenous oxidative stress, originating from by-products of cellular respiration and various external compounds. MUTYH is a key component of the b...
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).
