Development and validation of a predictive risk tool for VTE in women with breast cancer under chemotherapy: a cohort study in China.

Objective: The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is significantly elevated in breast cancer patients, with a three-to-fourfold increase, and further escalates to sixfold in those undergoing chemotherapy. This study aims to identify the risk factors for VTE and develop a Nomogram risk prediction model distinct from the traditional Khorana score.

Methods: Univariate Cox regression analysis assessed the impact of each variable on the occurrence of VTE, while stepwise multivariate Cox regression analysis identified independent predictors.

Development and validation of a nomogram model for predicting venous thromboembolism risk in lung cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors: A cohort study in China.

Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant threat to lung cancer patients, particularly those receiving treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We aimed to develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting the occurrence of VTE in lung cancer patients undergoing ICI therapy.

Methods: The data for this retrospective cohort study was collected from cancer patients admitted to Chongqing University Cancer Hospital for ICI treatment between 2019 and 2022.

A real-world analysis of survival and cost-effectiveness of sintilimab plus bevacizumab biosimilar regimen in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Purpose: Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor sintilimab plus bevacizumab has been approved as the first-line treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). However, the clinical benefits of sintilimab plus bevacizumab in a real-world setting in China is insufficiently defined to date. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of sintilimab plus bevacizumab biosimilar in a real-word cohort of patients with aHCC from China.

HIF1α and HIF2α regulate non-small-cell lung cancer dedifferentiation via expression of Sox2 and Oct4 under hypoxic conditions.

Objective: To explore HIF1α and HIF2α regulate the dedifferentiation of lung cancer cells under hypoxic conditions through Sox2 and Oct4.

Materials And Methods: HIF1α, HIF2α, Sox2 and Oct4 expression was analysed in lung cancer tissues. We analysed sphere formation by single-cell of differentiated lung cancer under hypoxia, and detected the expression of CD133, CD44, Sox2, Oct4, HIF1α and HIF2α.

Efficacy and safety of original EGFR-TKI combined with bevacizumab in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring EGFR-mutation experiencing gradual progression after EGFR-TKI treatment: a single-arm study.

Background: Keeping on original epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment is the standard treatment for gradual progression EGFR-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Angiogenic pathway can lead to EGFR-TKI resistance, but the effectiveness of combination strategies in this group is still controversial. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the original EGFR-TKI combined with bevacizumab in advanced and metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring EGFR-mutation who experience gradual progression in a real-world setting.

Circular RNA MYLK Promotes Glycolysis and Proliferation of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells by Sponging miR-195-5p and Increasing Glucose Transporter Member 3 Expression.

Introduction: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are deregulated in many types of human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we aimed to explore the functional role of circMYLK in NSCLC.

Materials And Methods: The expression levels of circMYLK and miR-195-5p in NSCLC tissues and cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR analysis.
