Background/objectives: The pathophysiology of cancer anorexia is multifactorial and unclear. Transcriptomic analysis from PBMCs RNA showed diverse patterns of gene expression pathways in anorexic cancer patients. We assessed whether the different transcriptomic signatures are modulated by DNA methylation in lung cancer patients presenting with poor appetite.

Background: Tissue factor (TF), the main initiator of the coagulation cascade, plays a role in cancer progression and prognosis. Activated factor VII-antithrombin complex (FVIIa-AT) is considered an indirect marker of TF exposure by reflecting TF-FVIIa interaction.
Objectives: To assess the link between FVIIa-AT plasma levels, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, and survival in cancer.
Background: Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) can be released by different cell types facing the urogenital tract and are involved in cellular trafficking, differentiation and survival. UEVs can be easily detected in urine and provide pathophysiological information "" without the need of a biopsy. Based on these premises, we hypothesized that uEVs proteomic profile may serve as a valuable tool in the differential characterization between Essential Hypertension (EH) and primary aldosteronism (PA).
