Identification of an immune gene signature for predicting the prognosis of patients with uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma.

Background: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is a frequent gynecological malignancy with a poor prognosis particularly at an advanced stage. Herein, this study aims to construct prognostic markers of UCEC based on immune-related genes to predict the prognosis of UCEC.

Methods: We analyzed expression data of 575 UCEC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and immune genes from the ImmPort database, which were used for generation and validation of the signature.

lncRNAs as potential molecular biomarkers in the clinicopathology and prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common fatal primary hepatobiliary malignant carcinoma, characterized by early invasion and extremely poor outcomes. It is therefore necessary to identify a novel biomarker to better diagnose CAA and predict its prognosis. Recently, emerging evidence has revealed that some lncRNAs play an important role in the tumorigenesis and progression of CAA.

LncRNA as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in bladder cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common urinary malignancies, and has a high recurrence rate and poor outcomes. In order to identify novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for bladder cancer, we conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the association between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression and survival in bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: We searched literature from databases using our inclusion and exclusion criteria.

A study of the application of TAP combined with transvaginal ultrasound in the diagnosis of early-stage endometrial cancer.

The aim of the study was to investigate the application of tumor abnormal protein (TAP) combined with transvaginal ultrasound in the diagnosis of early-stage endometrial cancer. A total of 248 patients with suspected endometrial cancer who were admitted to the Gynecology Department of the Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng from September 2013 to September 2015 were selected and randomly divided into the control (n=124) and the observation group (n=124). The control group received conventional ultrasound examination, while the observation, underwent TAP combined with conventional ultrasound examination.
