Comparison of activity, structure, and dynamics of SF-1 and LRH-1 complexed with small molecule modulators.

Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) is a phospholipid-sensing nuclear receptor expressed in the adrenal glands, gonads, and hypothalamus which controls steroidogenesis and metabolism. There is significant therapeutic interest in SF-1 because of its oncogenic properties in adrenocortical cancer. Synthetic modulators are attractive for targeting SF-1 for clinical and laboratory purposes due to the poor pharmaceutical properties of its native phospholipid ligands.

Patient Experience After Receiving a Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer in the USA.

Purpose: This study investigated the patient perspective during cancer treatment and throughout the survivorship period and to understand how the patient experience may be related to choices for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Methods: Eligible patients in the Vector Oncology electronic medical records database were ≥18 years of age, diagnosed with gastric cancer, and received active treatment. Quality of life (QOL) was collected using the Patient Care Monitor (PCM).
