Article Synopsis
  • Advances in molecular biology and high-throughput tests are enhancing lung cancer management by identifying genetic variations in patients.* -
  • A study analyzing 627 tissue samples and 80 liquid biopsy samples from lung cancer patients revealed various EGFR variants using RT-PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS).* -
  • The results indicated that EGFR variants are prevalent, and liquid biopsy with ctDNA can uncover a wider range of genetic variations, which is crucial for tailoring treatment plans.*

Article Synopsis
  • Most patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a poor survival rate, and the study investigates how nutritional status impacts treatment response and overall survival in these patients.
  • The study followed 174 patients with stage II-IV NSCLC over two years, revealing that only a small percentage achieved a complete response to treatment, and the median survival was 12 months.
  • Findings indicated that being male and overweight or obese are linked to lower survival rates, regardless of other factors like age, disease stage, and baseline health.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the correlation between electrolytes and serial miRNAs from our previous study. We want to prove that there is the molecular basis that underlying electrolytes disturbances as the predictive indicator to the outcome in NSCLC patients.

Results: There were positive correlation between potassium level with miR-34 (p  = 0.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the potential of the FIB-4 index as a predictor of mortality in patients with both hematological malignancies and COVID-19, focusing on finding an optimal cut-off value.
  • Conducted at Dharmais National Cancer Hospital in Indonesia, it analyzed 70 patients and found a significant correlation between higher FIB-4 values and increased mortality risk over a 3-month period.
  • The results indicated that a FIB-4 index greater than 3.85 had strong predictive power for mortality, with implications for patient management and treatment decisions.
