The terahertz (THz) metamaterial biosensor has great potential for label-free and rapid specificity testing. Here, we designed two highly sensitive structures to detect the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) of the cancer biomarker in early stages. There was about 29 GHz (500 ng/ml) resonance shift for CEA with an insert grate metamaterial, which was consistent with simulation results. Moreover, the concentration of CEA was gained through the relationship between the cancer marker concentration and frequency shift (Δƒ). Our design and detection methods may provide a potential route for the early warning stages of cancer.

Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis/mycosis (ABPA/M) is a complex non-infectious pulmonary benign disease characterized by an immune response against aspergillus/fungus. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), typically recognized as a tumor marker, also elevated in certain benign diseases. Few studies on ABPA/M cases presenting with elevated serum CEA levels have been reported.

Cancer, a disease threatening human life, is caused by the disturbance of the normal cell cycle, which results in the spontaneous growth of normal and malignant cells, the lack of differentiation between the two, and consequently malignant growths. Nowadays, various synthetic agents are applied for cancer therapy; nevertheless, reports have confirmed that these chemical agents are associated with various adverse complications. This experimental study was designed to assess the anti-tumor activities of zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) green synthesized by the () extract against Ehrlich solid tumors (EST) in mice.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare, low-grade epithelial tumor predominantly found in the salivary glands, with tracheal involvement being particularly uncommon. The present study details a case of primary tracheal HCCC and its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges and the therapeutic approach used. A 34-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of intermittent dyspnea.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells have shown their potential in hematological malignancies and the treatment of solid tumors, especially in metastases. However, CAR T-cell therapy may carry risks of inducing severe adverse effects, which are recognized as immune-related adverse events. Here, we report two cases of severe colitis presented with refractory bloody diarrhea, which were induced by carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-directed CAR T therapy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.
