Angiogenesis-related lncRNAs index: A predictor for CESC prognosis, immunotherapy efficacy, and chemosensitivity.

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) is a common gynecologic tumor and patients with advanced and recurrent disease usually have a poor clinical outcome. Angiogenesis is involved in the biological processes of tumors and can promote tumor growth and invasion. In this paper, we created a signature for predicting prognosis based on angiogenesis-related lncRNAs (ARLs).

Therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture point stimulation for stomach cancer pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has received widespread attention in the field of cancer pain treatment. This meta-analysis is the first to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture point stimulation in the treatment of stomach cancer pain.

Methods: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, WANFANG, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Journal of Science and Technology (VIP) databases as well as forward and backward citations to studies published between database creation to July 27, 2023.

The relationship between central obesity and risk of breast cancer: a dose-response meta-analysis of 7,989,315 women.

Purpose: Central obesity may contribute to breast cancer (BC); however, there is no dose-response relationship. This meta-analysis examined the effects of central obesity on BC and their potential dose-response relationship.

Methods: In the present study, PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science were searched on 1 August 2022 for published articles.

Proposing new early detection indicators for pancreatic cancer: Combining machine learning and neural networks for serum miRNA-based diagnostic model.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal malignancy that ranks seventh in terms of global cancer-related mortality. Despite advancements in treatment, the five-year survival rate remains low, emphasizing the urgent need for reliable early detection methods. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a group of non-coding RNAs involved in critical gene regulatory mechanisms, have garnered significant attention as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for pancreatic cancer (PC).
