Free radical-mediated damages may play an important role in cancerogenesis. To investigate their relevance in the cancer process, malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities were determined in the normal brain tissue and brain tumor tissue. When compared with the normal brain tissue, we have detected: (i) significantly lower MDA concentration in brain tumor tissue (1.63 nmol/mg Pr vs 2.04 nmol/mg Pr; p = 0.03); (ii) SOD activity in brain tumor tissue was significantly lower (3.15 U/mg Pr vs 4.97 U/mg Pr; p = 0.0002); and (iii) CAT activity in brain tumor tissue was 106.3% higher than that in controls.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a germline pathogenic variant in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. Patients with MEN1 have a high risk for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with a penetrance of nearly 100%, pituitary adenomas (PitAd) in 40% of patients, and neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the pancreas (40% of patients), duodenum, lung, and thymus. Increased MEN1-related mortality is mainly related to duodenal-pancreatic and thymic NEN.

Background: Resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) remains is an important cause of treatment failure in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ADAR1, as a member of the ADAR family, plays an important role in cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance. However, the mechanism by which ADAR1 regulates GBM progression and TMZ resistance is still unclear.

The transcriptomic classification of primary colorectal cancer (CRC) into distinct consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs) is a well-described strategy for patient stratification. However, the molecular nature of CRC metastases remains poorly investigated. To this end, this study aimed to identify and compare organotropic CMS frequencies in CRC liver and brain metastases.
