Although accumulating evidence has verified the relationship between CCNA2 and cancers, no pan-cancer analysis about the function and the upstream molecular mechanism of CCNA2 is available. For the first time, we analyzed potential oncogenic roles of CCNA2 in 33 cancer types The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Overexpression of CCNA2 is widespread in almost all cancer types, and it is related to poor prognosis and advanced pathological stages in most cases. Moreover, we conducted upstream miRNAs and lncRNAs of CCNA2 to establish upstream regulatory networks in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (LINC00997/miR-27b-3p/CCNA2), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (SNHG16, GUSBP11, FGD5-AS1, LINC00630, CD27-AS1, LINC00997/miR-22-3p/CCNA2, miR-29b-3p/CCNA2, miR-29c-3p/CCNA2, and miR-204-5p/CCNA2), and lung adenocarcinoma (miRNA-218-5p/CCNA2 and miR-204-5p/CCNA2) by expression analysis, survival analysis, and correlation analysis. The CCNA2 expression is positively correlated with Th2 cell infiltration and negatively correlated with CD4 central memory and effector memory T-cell infiltration in different cancer types. Furthermore, CCNA2 is positively associated with expressions of immune checkpoints (CD274, CTLA4, HAVCR2, LAG3, PDCD1, and TIGIT) in most cancer types. Our first CCNA2 pan-cancer study contributes to understanding the prognostic and immunological roles and potential upstream molecular mechanisms of CCNA2 in different cancers.

Objectives: Cancer-related cachexia affects approximately 50% to 80% of cancer patients and contributes significantly to cancer-related mortality, accounting for 20% of deaths. This multifactorial syndrome is characterized by systemic inflammation, anorexia, and elevated energy expenditure, leading to severe weight loss and muscle wasting. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for developing effective interventions.

Background: The infiltration of tumor-infiltrating B cells and plasma cells in early-stage breast cancer has been associated with a reduced risk of distant metastasis. However, the influence of B-cell tumor infiltration on overall patient survival remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: This study explored the relationship between an antitumor immune response, measured by a 14-gene B-cell/immunoglobulin (IGG) signature, and mortality risk in 9638 breast cancer patients across three datasets.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is amongst the earliest targeted kinases by small-molecule inhibitors for the management of EGFR-positive cancer types. While a few inhibitors are granted FDA approval for clinical use, discovery of new inhibitors is still of merit to enhance ligand-binding stability and subsequent enzyme inhibition. Thus, a structure-based design approach was adopted to devise a new series of twenty-nine N3-substituted quinazolin-4-ones as type I ATP-competitive inhibitors targeting the deep hydrophobic pocket of EGFR.

Objective: With the transition from cytology to human papilloma virus (HPV) testing in cervical cancer screening, it is possible to use self-sampling instead of professionally collected samples. Most studies have included women between 20 and 60 years age. Here we aimed to study postmenopausal women and investigate whether vaginal self-sampling is equally effective as professional sampling for detection of HSIL and the possibility to use a method for molecular triage directly on the screening sample.

Background: Although the literature supports a shorter course of 24 h of prophylaxis after head and neck free flap reconstruction, studies supporting this duration do not differentiate between flap types. There is a paucity of evidence on the optimal duration of prophylaxis for osteocutaneous free flaps with hardware, which may have higher rates of post-operative complications compared to other free flaps. This study aimed to examine the effect of different lengths of antibiotic prophylaxis on surgical site infection (SSI) rates after head and neck reconstruction with osteocutaneous free flaps and hardware.
