Platelet-lymphocyte ratio predicts chemotherapy response and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical resection.

Background: Amounting literatures have reported the significance of systemic inflammatory markers for evaluating tumor prognosis. But few studies have systematically compared their superiority and their impact on adjuvant chemotherapy.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the ability of inflammatory markers to predict the efficacy of chemotherapy in GC patients undergoing radical therapy and to identify an effective methodology based on the study's findings that would enable clinicians to differentiate between chemotherapy-responsive populations.

Glucose metabolism-based signature predicts prognosis and immunotherapy strategies for colon adenocarcinoma.

Background: The global prevalence and metastasis rates of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) are high, and therapeutic success is limited. Although previous research has primarily explored changes in gene phenotypes, the incidence rate of COAD remains unchanged. Metabolic reprogramming is a crucial aspect of cancer research and therapy.

Prognostic utility of TME-associated genes in pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a deadly disease. The tumor microenvironment (TME) participates in PC oncogenesis. This study focuses on the assessment of the prognostic and treatment utility of TME-associated genes in PC.

LHPP suppresses colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting Smad3 phosphorylation in the TGF-β pathway.

The roles of phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP) in tumorigenesis have been recently proven in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cervical, pancreatic, bladder, and thyroid cancers. Previous research demonstrated that LHPP repressed cell proliferation and growth by inactivating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. However, the functions and potential mechanisms of LHPP as a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis are still unknown.

Tumor suppressor LHPP regulates the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells via the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer‑related mortality worldwide. Thus, identification of the mechanisms involved in the progression of CRC has become a crucial element of facilitating early CRC diagnosis and targeted therapy for patients with advanced CRC. Currently, Phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP), a type of histidine phosphatase protein, has been confirmed as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cervical cancer.

Efficiency of CAR-T Therapy for Treatment of Solid Tumor in Clinical Trials: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has achieved unprecedented success among hematologic tumors, but its role in treating solid tumors is still unclear.

Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases up to June 1, 2018, was carried out by two independent reviewers. We included studies which focused on the association between CAR-T cell therapy and patient response rate and survival time in solid tumors.

Prognostic Role of Pretreatment Plasma D-Dimer in Patients with Solid Tumors: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background/aims: Elevated pretreatment plasma D-dimer level has been reported as an unfavorable prognostic indicator in several malignancies. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognostic value of elevated D-dimer level in solid tumors.

Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases up to June 10, 2017 was carried out by two independent reviewers.

Decreased Expression of Hsa_circ_00001649 in Gastric Cancer and Its Clinical Significance.

. It has been reported that circRNAs are differentially expressed in a wide range of cancers and could be used as a new biomarker for diagnosis. However, the correlation between circRNAs and gastric cancer (GC) it is still unclear.
