Background: Recent reports have shown that nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), a long non- coding RNA (lncRNA), contributes to the precise control of gene expression and is related to several human malignancies. However, limited data are available on the expression and function of NEAT1 in lung cancer. The major objective of the current study was to profile the expression and clinicopathological significance of NEAT1 in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs).
Materials And Methods: NEAT1 expression in 125 NSCLC cases and paired adjacent non-cancer tissues was assessed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). Relationships between NEAT1 and clinicopathological factors were also investigated.
Results: The relative level of NEAT1 was 6.98±3.74 in NSCLC tissues, significantly elevated as compared to that of the adjacent non-cancer lung tissues (4.83±2.98, p<0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of high expression of NEAT1 to diagnose NSCLC was 0.684 (95% CI: 0.619~0.750, p<0.001). NEAT1 expression was positively correlated with patient age (r=-2.007, p=0.047), lymphatic metastasis (r=-2.731, p=0.007), vascular invasion (r=-3.617, p=0.001) and clinical TNM stage (r=-4.134, p<0.001).
Conclusions: This study indicates that NEAT1 might be associated with oncogenesis and progression in NSCLC, and suggests application in molecular targeted therapy.

Background: The roles of preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (sCEA) and postoperative tissue carcinoembryonic antigen (tCEA) have been extensively studied in isolation in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the combined role of sCEA and tCEA remains inadequately described.
Methods: A total of 1,757 retrospective cases of stage 0-IV CRC from January 2006 to January 2016 in our institution were included.

Background & Aims: Biliary abnormalities in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and interface hepatitis in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) occur frequently, and misinterpretation may lead to therapeutic mistakes with a negative impact on patients. This study investigates the use of a deep learning (DL)-based pipeline for the diagnosis of AIH and PBC to aid differential diagnosis.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter study across six European referral centers, and built a library of digitized liver biopsy slides dating from 1997 to 2023.
Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of exosomal PD-L1 in cancer therapy.

Aim: The exosomal programmed death ligand-1(exoPD-L1) has recently become a topic of interest in the field of oncology. But the prognostic role of exoPD-L1 in cancer patients is inconsistent across previous studies. Therefore, a quantitative meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic and clinicopathological value of exoPD-L1 in cancer patients.

Mucosal melanoma is a rare melanoma subtype associated with a poor prognosis and limited existing therapeutic interventions, in part due to a lack of actionable targets and translational animal models for preclinical trials. Comprehensive data on this tumour type are scarce, and existing data often overlooks the importance of the anatomical site of origin. We evaluated human and canine oronasal mucosal melanoma (OMM) to determine whether the common canine disease could inform the rare human equivalent.
