Objectives: To examine the spatiotemporal trends in pancreatic cancer (PC) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and mortality attributable to high body-mass index (BMI) by age, gender, and countries from 1990 to 2019.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 results. We presented the annual number of PC DALYs and mortality, and corresponding age-standardized rates (ASDR and ASMR), which were further stratified by age, gender, and countries.
Background: Apatinib is approved in China for the treatment of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma that had progressed or relapsed after standard systemic chemotherapy treatments. However, the effectiveness of Apatinib under real-world condition has not been evaluated and the drug performance under ideal and controlled circumstances has not been validated. In fact, genetic factors, poor healthcare access, social economic status, comorbidities compliance and other factors play significant role in drug performance under "real-world" conditions.

Background: The efficacy and safety of chemotherapy strategies combining the multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with advanced wild-type non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (nsq-NSCLC) are undetermined. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with carboplatin/pemetrexed-based chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy (anlotinib plus pemetrexed) in advanced wild-type nsq-NSCLC.
Methods: Eligible patients with wild-type advanced nsq-NSCLC who received first-line therapy in Henan Province from March 2019 to February 2021 were recruited.

Background: Frailty has been related with the risk of postoperative complication in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the association between frailty and long-term survival in patients with CRC has not been comprehensively evaluated. We performed a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the relationship between frailty and long-term survival of these patients.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the preclinical pharmacological and toxicological consistency, and clinical pharmacokinetic equivalence of bevacizumab biosimilar LY01008 with reference bevacizumab (Avastin). This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of LY01008 with Avastin in first-line treatment of Chinese patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Stage IIIB-IV NSCLC patients with evaluable lesions, good physical status, and adequate organ functions from 67 centers across China were randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive LY01008 or Avastin 15 mg/kg intravenously in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin (combined treatment) for 4-6 cycles, followed by maintenance monotherapy with LY01008 until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or death.
Background: Epidemiological studies have reported various results regarding whether FOXO3A is related to various carcinomas. However, the prognostic significance of FOXO3A in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to validate the correlation between FOXO3A expression and oncological outcomes in UTUC.

And the treatment options for patients with relapsed or refractory ES-SCLC are limited. Thus, we conducted an open-label, multicenter, single-arm phase II clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus etoposide capsules as the third- or further-line treatment in ES-SCLC patients.

Aims: We aim to describe the contribution of high BMI and alcohol use to liver-cancer-related death at the global and national levels.
Methods: The data of liver cancer-related mortality attributable to all known risk factors, high BMI, and alcohol use were collected from the Global Burden of Disease database.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a commonly diagnosed malignancy with highly heterogeneous incidence and mortality rates worldwide. High body mass index (BMI) is a well-defined risk factor for CRC. The mortality trends of CRC among patients who are overweight contributions at the global and national levels are largely unknown.

Aim Of The Study: This study investigated the mechanism of Shenyan Xiaobai Granule in the treatment of nephritis proteinuria.
Materials And Methods: 100 male wistar rats were divided into a blank group (n = 20) and a nephropathy group (n = 80) using random number table after 1 week adaptive feeded.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has emerged as a major public health concern in China during the last decade. In this study, we investigated the disease burden posed by CRC and analyzed temporal trends in CRC incidence and mortality rates in this country. We collected CRC incidence data from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Volume XI dataset and the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of CRC by sex and age, from the 2016 Global Burden of Diseases Study.

Therefore, we carried out the present meta-analysis to obtain a more accurate assessment of this potential association.
Methods: In this meta-analysis, 79 case-control studies were included with a total of 38,634 cases and 55,206 controls.
