MicroRNAs are crucial tumor regulators to tumor development and progression. MiR-30c-2-3p can suppress malignant progression of tumor cells, but no study has reported the modulatory process of miR-30c-2-3p in gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). We herein investigated role of miR-30c-2-3p in GA cells.

Methods: This study included LARC patients with BRAF mutation admitted to the Oncology Department of Fujian Medical University Cancer Hospital, Fujian Cancer Hospital, between June 2013 and December 2018. Patients in the control group received a standard treatment regimen of TME combined with NAC ( = 45), and patients in the observation group received NAC plus bevacizumab combined with TME ( = 55).
Molecular heterogeneity determines the differences in the pathological features, prognosis and survival after relapse when comparing left-sided colon cancer (LCC) and right-sided colon cancer (RCC). At present, the discrepancy in the underlying molecular events between the two types of colon cancer has not been thoroughly investigated. The present study aimed to explore novel targets to predict the disease stage and prognosis of LCC and RCC.

Phase II trials show that taxol is effective in treating advanced gastric cancer. This multi-center prospective open randomized controlled study was to compare the efficacy of Taxol plus calcium folinate (CF)/5-fluorouracil (5-FU), Taxol plus oxaliplatin (OXA), and CF/5-FU plus cisplatin (DDP) on advanced gastric cancer, and analyze their toxicities.
