Recent trends in the incidence of early-onset prostate cancer.

Early-onset prostate cancer (EOPC) is relatively uncommon. It is unclear if the incidence of EOPC is evolving. Utilizing data from the SEER database from 2000 to 2020, the study identified prostate cancer cases in men under 55 years, focusing on trends in annual age-adjusted incidence rates (AAIR), stage at presentation, race/ethnicity, and local treatment patterns.

Apoptosis-Associated Gene Expression Profiling Is One New Prognosis Risk Predictor of Human Rectal Cancer.

Background: Prior research has revealed the predictive significance of a series of genetic markers in the prognosis of rectal cancer (RC), but the roles of apoptosis-associated genes in RC are rarely studied.

Methods: The RNA-seq data as well as clinical data about patients with rectum adenocarcinoma (READ) were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. Additionally, 87 apoptosis-associated genes were downloaded and acquired from Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database.
