Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mengqian Zhou"
- Mengqian Zhou's recent research primarily focuses on the interplay between hypoxia, microRNAs, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), highlighting how HIF1α overexpression and specific miRNAs contribute to tumor-stroma interactions.
- Zhou's studies emphasize the diagnostic value of biomarkers, particularly thyroglobulin in fine-needle aspiration samples, for identifying metastatic lymph nodes in papillary thyroid carcinoma, and propose optimal cutoff values to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
- Additional research involves the clinical characteristics and outcomes of lymph node metastasis from unknown primary sites, demonstrating the complexities associated with management and treatment selection in such cases.
