The human glutathione S-transferases: a case-control study of the incidence of the GST1 0 phenotype in patients with adenocarcinoma.

Carcinogenesis

Published: January 1991

The suggestion that individuals with the GST1 0 phenotype have a greater susceptibility to carcinogens than those with other GST1 phenotypes has been examined by using a starch gel zymogram approach to compare the frequency of this phenotype in control subjects and a group of patients with adenocarcinoma of stomach and colon. A significantly greater proportion of the patients with adenocarcinoma demonstrated the null phenotype, odds ratio analysis indicating that individuals with this polymorphic variant have an approximately 3-fold greater risk of developing these cancers.

Background: The mycobiome in the tumor microenvironment of non-smokers with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (ES-LUAD) has been minimally investigated.

Methods: In this study, we conducted ultra-deep metagenomic and transcriptomic sequencing on 128 samples collected from 46 nonsmoking ES-LUAD patients and 41 healthy controls (HC), aiming to characterize the tumor-resident mycobiome and its interactions with the host.

Results: The results revealed that ES-LUAD patients exhibited fungal dysbiosis characterized by reduced species diversity and significant imbalances in specific fungal abundances.

Early diagnosis and disease management based on risk stratification have a very positive impact on colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) prognosis. It is of positive significance to further explore risk stratification of COAD patients and identify predictive molecular biomarkers. PANoptosis is defined as a form of inflammatory cell death regulated by PANoptosome, with common features of pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis.

Background/objectives: A significant breakthrough in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment has occurred with the introduction of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. However, not all patients treated with these therapies would respond to treatment, and patients who respond to treatment would acquire resistance at some time point. This is why we need new biomarkers that can predict response to therapy.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the seventh most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The low survival rate may be due to late diagnosis and asymptomatic early-stage disease. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease.

The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between TP53 status and outcomes after transarterial embolization (TAE) for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This single-institution study included patients from 1/2014 to 6/2022 who underwent TAE of HCC and genomic analysis of tumoral tissue. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS) with relation to TP53 status, and the secondary outcome was the time to progression.
