99mTc sestamibi as a prognostic factor of response to first-line therapy and outcome in patients with malignant lymphoma
(2013)INTRODUCTION: Resistance to chemotherapy poses a major problem in cancer patients. Although of multifactorial origin, some of the implicated mechanisms also interfere with Tc-MIBI uptake and retention in cancer cells. The ... -
Advancements in the Treatment of Cerebrovascular Complications of Cancer
(2020)Purpose of review: To present the new guidelines and therapeutic options regarding cerebrovascular complications of cancer, mainly ischemic stroke, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC). ... -
aMAP risk score predicts hepatocellular carcinoma development in patients with chronic hepatitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic hepatitis. In this international collaboration, we sought to develop a global universal HCC risk score to predict the ... -
Anti-Ro52 antibody is highly prevalent and a marker of better prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer
(2021)Background and Aims: Anti-Ro52 antibody (Ab) reactivity is highly prevalent in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), mainly Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but also in other inflammatory ... -
Arthritis and Myositis in a Patient Treated with Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) Inhibitor Pembrolizumab for Lung Cancer
(2020)Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a new class of drug that have demonstrated efficacy across many cancer types. Because of their nature and mode of action, ICIs unleash immune activation raising concerns as to whether ... -
Aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients with haematological malignancies
(2018)Aspergillosis, which is saprophytic in nature, is known to cause massive destruction of paranasal sinuses in immunocompromised hosts, but in immunocompetent individuals invasive aspergillosis is rare. Diagnosis is posed ... -
Assessment of the efficacy and clinical utility of different circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection assays in patients with chemotherapy-naïve advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
(2021)We herein investigated the detection frequency and clinical relevance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in chemotherapy-naïve stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), by using the CellSearch and real-time CEACAM5mRNA ... -
Association of ITPA gene polymorphisms with adverse effects of AZA/6-MP administration: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Azathioprine (AZA) and its metabolite, mercaptopurine (6-MP), are widely used immunosuppressant drugs. Polymorphisms in genes implicated in AZA/6-MP metabolism, reportedly, could account in part for their potential toxicity. ... -
Behind the numbers and the panic of a viral pandemic: Fixed restrictive oncology guidance may jeopardize patients’ survival
(2020)To protect cancer patients from COVID-19exposure, prioritization strategies are being implemented at global level. Measures include use of tele-health services, deferring elective surgeries, delaying non life-saving ... -
Benefits and Limitations of TKIs in Patients with Medullary Thyroid Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2021)Introduction: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been used in patients with advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC); however, data on their effectiveness and safety are limited. The aim of this systematic review and ... -
Bone metastasis classification using whole body images from prostate cancer patients based on convolutional neural networks application
(2020)Bone metastasis is one of the most frequent diseases in prostate cancer; scintigraphy imaging is particularly important for the clinical diagnosis of bone metastasis. Up to date, minimal research has been conducted regarding ... -
Bootstrap-based testing approaches for the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers subject to a limit of detection
(2019)Assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis frequently involves a limit of detection imposed by the laboratory analytical system precision. As a consequence, ... -
Can bioelectrical impedance analysis and BMI be a prognostic tool in head and neck cancer patients? A review of the evidence
(2020)Background: Malnutrition can significantly affect disease progression and patient survival. The efficiency of weight loss and bioimpedance analysis (BIA)-derived measures in the evaluation of malnutrition, and disease ... -
Cancer patient care during different war times; is the response too slow?
(2022)[No abstract available] -
CD8+ PD-1+ T-cells and PD-L1+ circulating tumor cells in chemotherapy-naïve non-small cell lung cancer: towards their clinical relevance?
(2019)Background: Since tumor cells may escape from immune surveillance through the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand (PD-L)1 axis, this study was designed in order to evaluate whether there is a correlation ... -
Characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients who develop pulmonary embolism: A cross-sectional study
(2021)Pulmonary embolism (PE), along with deep vein thrombosis, are collectively known as venous thromboembo- lism (VTE). Predisposing factors for PE include post-operative conditions, pregnancy, cancer and an advanced age; of ... -
Circulating tumor cells as prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer: current status and future prospects
(2021)Introduction : Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques breast cancer is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CTCs play a crucial role in the metastatic process, which is the main ... -
Clinical Significance of Circulating Osteopontin Levels in Patients With Lung Cancer and Correlation With VEGF and MMP-9
(2016)Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in carcinogenesis. Serum levels of OPN, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were measured by ELISA in 90 lung cancer ... -
