Article Synopsis
- Precision medicine is emerging in cancer treatment, particularly for advanced ccRCC, and there’s a need for new predictive biomarkers and treatments.
- This study investigates inversin as a potential prognostic factor by comparing its expression in ccRCC tumors and normal kidney tissues, finding that lower levels of inversin are linked to worse survival outcomes.
- Additionally, the study reveals that inversin's role and its interactome partners relate to tumor differentiation, immune response, and metastasis, highlighting their potential as markers for ccRCC prognosis.
BACKGROUND The development and progression of prostate cancer are multistep processes involving several growth factors, hormones, and cytokines. This study aimed to measure the serum concentrations of different cytokines and determine their correlation with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and disease grade in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2023 to March 2024 at the Clinic of Oncology of the University Hospital Center in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This study aimed to determine the differences in the survival outcomes of patients with HER2-positive mBC in relation to access to anti-HER therapy at 3 oncology centers in upper-middle-income countries (UMICs) and 1 oncology center in a high-income country (HIC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively identified 42 patients from Croatia (HIC), 71 patients from Serbia (UMIC), and 57 from Bosnia and Herzegovina (UMIC) diagnosed with HER2-positive mBC who were treated between January 2015 and December 2020.
