Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, necessitating advancements in early detection and innovative treatment strategies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs involved in gene regulation, have emerged as crucial players in the pathogenesis of CRC. This review synthesizes the latest findings on miRNA deregulated in precancerous lesions and in CRC.

Studies of autophagy involvement in developmental processes are important for understanding various processes. Among them are fibrosis, degenerative diseases, cancer development, and metastasis formation.

Aberrant miRNAs expression is associated with the onset and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between five miRNAs (miR-29a, miR-101, miR-125b, miR-146a, and miR-155), found to be deregulated in tissue samples of CRC patients, and clinicopathological characteristics and histological markers.

Introduction: Prognostic and predictive value of PD-L1 as a biomarker in breast cancer remains controversial. While some studies suggest its association with negative prognostic parameters, others reported a highly significant association between PD-L1 expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which are known to be an independent favorable prognostic factor. The aim of present study is to examine the relationship between immune response markers and PD-L1 expression in early breast cancer.
