Identification of an immune-related gene-based signature to predict prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that it is necessary to further explore genetic and immunological characteristics of GC.

Aim: To construct an immune-related gene (IRG) signature for accurately predicting the prognosis of patients with GC.

Increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio independently predicts poor survival in non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients.

Inflammation plays an important role in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is widely used to evaluate global inflammation in various tumor types. However, the prognostic role of NLR in non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients was poorly known.

Plasma Level of Interleukin-35 as an Independent Prognostic Indicator in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a major type of liver cancer with poor prognosis.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic significance of plasma interleukin-35 level in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods: A total of 153 hepatocellular carcinoma patients and 153 healthy controls were enrolled.
