Predicting metastasis in gastric cancer patients: machine learning-based approaches.

Gastric cancer (GC), with a 5-year survival rate of less than 40%, is known as the fourth principal reason of cancer-related mortality over the world. This study aims to develop predictive models using different machine learning (ML) classifiers based on both demographic and clinical variables to predict metastasis status of patients with GC. The data applied in this study including 733 of GC patients, divided into a train and test groups at a ratio of 8:2, diagnosed at Taleghani tertiary hospital.

Epigenetic regulation of gastrointestinal cancers mediated by long non-coding RNAs.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as well-known modulator of the epigenetic processes, have been shown to contribute to normal cellular physiological and pathological conditions such as cancer. Through the interaction with epigenetic regulators, an aberrant regulation of gene expression can be resulted due to their dysregulation, which in turn, can be involved in tumorigenesis. In the present study, we reviewed the lncRNAs' function and mechanisms that contributed to aberrant epigenetic regulation, which is directly related to gastrointestinal cancer (GI) development and progression.

Development of web-based dynamic nomogram to predict survival in patients with gastric cancer: a population-based study.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most frequent malignancy worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-associated mortality. The study's goal was to construct a predictive model and nomograms to predict the survival of GC patients. This historical cohort study assessed 733 patients who underwent treatments for GC.

Di-μ-chlorido-bis-(chlorido{2-[(4-ethyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]pyridine-κN,N'}copper(II)).

The binuclear title complex, [Cu(2)Cl(4)(C(14)H(14)N(2))(2)], is located on a crystallographic inversion centre. The Cu(II) ion is in a distorted square-pyramid coordination environment formed by the bichelating N-heterocyclic ligand, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom. One of the bridging Cu-Cl bonds is significantly longer than the other.
