Purpose: To evaluate short-term effectiveness and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided radioactive iodine-125 (I) seed implantation (CTRISI) for treating adrenal metastases.
Material And Methods: A total of 50 consecutive patients with adrenal metastases were enrolled retrospectively. Among them, 18 patients received CTRISI, and 18 received 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) treatment.
The purpose of this article was to probe the mechanism underlying long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-LINC00184 in cholangiocarcinoma development and to investigate the effects of LINC00184 on cholangiocarcinoma. We used bioinformatics to analyze the expression of LINC00184, microRNA (miR)-23b-3p and ANXA2 in cholangiocarcinoma tissues. The levels of LINC00184, miR-23b-3p, and ANXA2 were detected by qRT-PCR.

- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of combining I seed implantation with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for HCC patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT).
- The research involved 134 patients diagnosed with primary HCC and PVTT between January 2013 and June 2015.
- Results showed that the combined treatment significantly improved median survival time and survival rates at 6, 12, and 18 months compared to TACE alone, with type III PVTT and larger tumor size being linked to poorer outcomes.
The associations between programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and the prognosis of various cancers have always been a research topic of considerable interest. However, the prognostic value of PD-L1 in breast cancer patients remains a controversial subject. We aimed to assess the association between PD-L1 protein expression and clinicopathological features and the impact of this relationship on breast cancer survival.
