AI Article Synopsis

  • Uterine corpus cancer has become more common among Korean women in the past ten years, prompting recent studies to focus on better treatment options.
  • This work reviews risks, prognostic factors, and various treatment approaches such as radiologic evaluations and surgical techniques for uterine cancer.
  • It emphasizes the importance of fertility-sparing treatments and the prediction of lymph node metastasis for improving patient outcomes.

Article Abstract

Uterine corpus cancer has increased in prevalence in Korean women over the last decade. Recently, elegant studies have been reported from many institutes. To improve treatment strategies, a review of our own data is warranted. This work will discuss the risks and prognostic factors for uterine corpus cancer, and the radiologic evaluation, prediction of lymph node metastasis, systematic lymphadenectomy, minimally invasive surgery, ovarian-saving surgery, fertility-sparing treatment, and adjuvant treatment in women with uterine cancer.

One of the known histological patterns of endometrioid carcinoma (EC) in uterine corpus cancer is MELF (microcystic, elongated, and fragmented). MELF is associated with lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis. Besides MELF, it is also known that squamous differentiation (SD) often occurs in EC.

: Endometrial cancer (UCEC) has a significant detrimental effect on patient quality of life. Although pyroptosis-related genes have been reported to contribute to tumor pathogenesis, the specific mechanism of pyroptosis in patients with UCEC remains elusive. We provide an overview of the landscape of pyroptosis-related genes in UCEC tissues through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) datasets from the tissues of UCEC of 6089 cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Endometrial cancer is a serious gynecological issue, and the study focused on the role of TBK1, a kinase involved in inflammation and immunity, in this cancer type.
  • Research found that low TBK1 expression is linked to better patient outcomes, and inhibiting TBK1 with amlexanox reduced cancer cell growth and migration.
  • The effects of amlexanox were shown to work through the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway, suggesting a new direction for cancer treatments targeting TBK1 in endometrial cancer.

CYFIP2: potential pancreatic cancer biomarker and immunotherapeutic target.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang University, 17 Yongwai Zhengjie, Donghu District, Nanchang, 330006, People's Republic of China.

Objective: It has been shown that the CYFIP2 (Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 2) gene is apoptosis p53-dependent and is associated with poor prognosis in malignant tumors such as gastric cancer and other and cervical cancer. However, the prognostic potential of CYFIP2 in pancreatic cancer remains unclear. In this work, we first explain the great potential of CYFIP2 malignant progression from a broader perspective (pan-cancer) and confirm its oncogenic value in pancreatic cancer.
