Clinicopathological characteristics and long-term prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer patients with HER2-Low expression: a retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study.

Purpose: The objective of the current research was to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and long-term prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low status following breast surgery.

Methods: A total of 202 TNBC patients treated at Qingdao Central Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were included, comprising 71 HER2-low and 131 HER2-zero patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize differences between the cohorts.

Long-term oncologic outcomes following breast cancer surgery in adolescents and young adults: a single-center retrospective analysis.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs, aged 15-39 years), remains inadequately understood. The incidence of BC in AYAs has been steadily increasing, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among females aged 0-39 globally. This study aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of AYAs and older adults (OAs, aged > 39 years) with BC who underwent surgery.

Exosome circATP8A1 induces macrophage M2 polarization by regulating the miR-1-3p/STAT6 axis to promote gastric cancer progression.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in gastric cancer progression but the regulatory role of circRNAs in controlling macrophage function remains elusive. Exosomes serve as cargo for circRNAs and play a crucial role as mediators in facilitating communication between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we found that circATP8A1, a previously unreported circular RNA, is highly expressed in both gastric cancer tissues and exosomes derived from plasma.

Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of adolescents and young adults with gastric cancer after gastrectomy: a propensity score matching analysis.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) among adolescents and young adults (AYAs, aged 15-39 years) has limited data on clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. This study aimed to compare the clinicopathological characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and long-term outcomes of AYAs and older adults (OAs, aged > 39 years) with GC who underwent curative gastrectomy.

Methods: From January 1994 to June 2019, patients with GC undergoing curative gastrectomy were enrolled and divided into AYA group and OA group.

Comprehensive analysis to construct a novel immune-related prognostic panel in aging-related gastric cancer based on the lncRNA‒miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth frequent malignancy and is responsible for the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Gastric cancer is an aging-related disease, with incidence and mortality rates increasing with aging. The development of GC is affected by lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels.

Construction of a hypoxia-immune-related prognostic panel based on integrated single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing analyses in gastric cancer.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common tumor, contributing to the third-highest number of cancer-related deaths. Hypoxia is a major feature of the tumor microenvironment. This study aimed to explore the influence of hypoxia in GC and establish a hypoxia-related prognostic panel.

Knockdown of NDUFC1 inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit C1(NDUFC1) encodes a subunit of the Complex I, which may support the structural stability of Complex I and assist in its biogenesis. The expression and functional roles of NDUFC1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unknown.

Result: We knocked down the expression of NDUFC1 in HCC cell lines to explore the effects of NDUFC1 downregulation on HCC .

Update in clinical management for gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Background: Gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma (GB-NEC) is rare and there are few reports at present. We sought to review the current knowledge of GB-NEC and provide recommendations for clinical management.

Methods: A systemic literature research was conducted in the websites of Pubmed, Medline, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data using the keywords including gallbladder combined with neuroendocrine carcinoma or neuroendocrine tumor or neuroendocrine neoplasm.

Gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma: A single center experience.

Gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma (GB-NEC) is a group of rare and heterogeneous neoplasms and there are few reports at present.We analyzed the clinical and pathological features of 7 patients with GB-NEC who were admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2011 to October 2019.The median age of 7 patients was 58 years with male to female ratio of 1:2.

Laparoscopy versus laparotomy approach of a radical resection for gallbladder cancer: a retrospective comparative study.

Background: Laparoscopic approach for gallbladder cancer (GBC) has long been contraindicated, but few recent studies have demonstrated the oncologic outcomes of this treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes and long-term survival for laparoscopic surgery versus traditional open surgery of GBC.

Method: Between January 2014 and December 2018, 63 GBC patients who received radical resection were enrolled in this study, with 32 patients in laparoscopic group and 31 cases in laparotomy group.
