Evaluating the prognostic relevance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in cervical cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Recently, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has emerged as a promising prognostic marker for survival outcomes in individuals affected cervical cancer. However, research specifically focusing on the prognostic relevance of NLR across different cancer stages and in cases of recurrent metastases remains scant.

Methods: We executed a systematic review of the literature from databases including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, covering publications up to March 3, 2024.

Association between consumption of sweeteners and endometrial cancer risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

The purpose of this study is to further investigate the relationship between sweetener exposure and the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). Up until December 2022, a literature search in an electronic database was carried out utilizing PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, and Scopus. The odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the results.

A five-lncRNA model predicting overall survival in gastric cancer compared with normal tissues.

Aims: In cancer research, normal tissues adjacent to the tumor are usually defined as controls to compare with tumor samples, in order to screen out cancer-related genes. Although there is no obvious difference in pathology between normal tissues adjacent to the tumor and healthy tissues, there are significant changes at the molecular level. We aim to explore more potential tumor biomarkers using healthy tissues as controls rather than normal tissues adjacent to the tumor.
