Objective: To investigate if fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) expression plays an important role in endometrial carcinoma (EC).

Methods: The clinicopathological associations and prognostic value of FGF18 expression were retrospectively analyzed in 190 patients with EC. FGF18 expression was stably knocked down in EC cell lines.

The current study examined the underlying mechanism and the effect of 1,3-thiazin-6-one on the growth of renal cancer. The findings showed that 1,3-thiazin-6-one treatment inhibited the growth of xenograft tumors in a dose-dependent manner in mice model of renal cancer. Furthermore, when 1,3-thiazin-6-one was administered in a dose-dependent manner to mice with renal cancer, the expression of the proteins p-PI3K and p-Akt significantly decreased.
