Introduction: In clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), intravascular extension often results in neoplastic thrombus formation, impacting patient outcomes.

Material And Methods: We assessed P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) expression in the primary tumours and thrombi of 82 ccRCC patients.

Results: Notably, PSGL-1 expression varied between tumour compartments, with higher prevalence in thrombus tumour cells (TC) and primary tumour-associated immune cells (TAIC).

Objective: CD73 (ecto-5'-nucleotidase, NT5E), a cell-surface enzyme converting 5'-AMP to adenosine, is crucial for cancer progression. However, its role in the tumorigenesis process remains mostly obscure. We aimed to demonstrate CD73's role in breast cancer (BC) tumorigenesis through metabolic rewiring of fatty acid metabolism, a process recently indicated to be regulated by BC major prognostic markers, hormone receptors (HR) for estrogen (ER), and progesterone (PR).

Article Synopsis
  • Micronuclei (MN) are formed through various mechanisms, and their frequent presence in tumors suggests they might actively contribute to cancer progression rather than being just passive byproducts.
  • This study highlights how damages during cell division can lead to the accumulation of Emerin in MN, which lack Lamin A/C and feature the Lamin-B receptor and Sec61β.
  • Emerin mislocalization to MN is linked to a poor prognosis in prostate cancer patients and is associated with increased migratory and invasive behaviors of tumor cells, particularly in environments rich in collagen.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the role of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in single hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, focusing on immune gene expressions and patient prognosis in a group of 206 patients.
  • Results showed that a majority of cases had some level of TILs, with ER-/PgR+ tumours having significantly higher densities compared to ER+/PgR- tumours, and overall TILs greater than 5% were linked to improved survival rates.
  • The analysis identified 50 differentially expressed genes between high and low TIL groups, with consistent up-regulation of immune-related genes in both ER+/PgR- and ER-/PgR+ subgroups.

Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a serious, life-threatening, complication affecting patients who have survived the initial bleeding from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Due to the challenging diagnosis, potential DCI prognostic markers should be of value in clinical practice. According to recent reports isoprostanes and red blood cell distribution (RDW) showed to be promising in this respect.
