As of 2017, no serum tumor marker has shown high levels of sensitivity or specificity for early detection, classification, staging, prediction and prognosis of patients affected by gastric cancer. In this regard, since 1975 several authors have investigated the gastric juice or gastric lavage of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma in order to determine the concentrations of intragastric tumor markers and discover the perfect antigen for this cancer. To date, however, a systematic review of the literature on intragastric tumor markers is still unreported. After a thorough search, we found important as well as unimportant findings and have come to clearly defined conclusions. We believe that describing the current state of knowledge achieved by the scientific community in this particular field of research could augment information on the complex pathobiology of gastric cancer and entail a deeper understanding of its unpredictable malignant behavior.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor and the third most common cancer in China in terms of mortality. Stomach microorganisms play complex roles in the development of GC. The carcinogenic mechanism of Helicobacter pylori has been elucidated, and there is much evidence that other microorganisms in the gastric mucosa are also heavily involved in the disease progression of this cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from the accumulation of abnormal mutations in colorectal cells during prolonged inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the potential of probiotic fermented milk containing the probiotic strain, Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BX-245 (BX-245), in alleviating tumor burden in CRC mice induced by azoxymethane and dextran sodium sulfate.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide. While chemotherapy remains the standard treatment approach, natural products have emerged as a promising alternative. Among these, apigenin, a natural flavonoid, has garnered significant attention due to its pro-oxidant and antioxidant properties in various types of cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 8-13% of women in their reproductive years and is commonly treated with off-label drugs that can have side effects; this study investigates curcumin's therapeutic effects in a PCOS rat model.
- The PCOS model was created using dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), followed by curcumin treatment, which assessed changes in ovarian morphology, hormone levels, and oxidative stress markers.
- Results showed that curcumin improved hormone levels, restored normal ovarian function, and reduced oxidative stress, suggesting its potential as a treatment for PCOS by enhancing PPAR-γ levels.
