Objective: to analyze the temporal trend of mortality due to malignant neoplasms of the breast and cervix from 1999 to 2019 in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Methods: this was a time-series study based on data from the Mortality Information System; standardized rates were calculated according to age and schooling, and the temporal trend was assessed using Prais-Winsten regression.

Results: the overall mortality coefficients for cervical cancer (β = -0.03; 95%CI -0.08;0.02) and for breast cancer (β = -0.006; 95%CI -0.02;0.01) were stable over the time series; in both types of neoplasms, a rising trend was identified in women with up to 7 years of schooling; on the other hand, a stationary trend was found in the majority of the age strata analyzed.

Conclusion: older women and those with low levels of schooling had the worst prognosis.

The incidence of cervical cancer continues to rise in underdeveloped regions due to low human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates and inadequate screening systems. To achieve convenient, rapid, and accurate detection of HPV, we developed a three-wire lateral flow strip assay system based on dual-OR logic gates for rapid and simultaneous detection of HPV subtypes 16 and 18 in a single test. The system combines three-branch-catalytic hairpin assembly (TCHA)-mediated signal amplification with simple OR logic gate-based signal output to improve detection rates while enabling HPV 16/18 subtype identification.

Objective: The presence of the microcystic elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern, distinguished by its microcystic, elongated and fragmented attributes, constitutes a common manifestation of myometrial invasion (MI) within endometrial carcinoma. However, the prognostic significance of this pattern has not been definitively established. Consequently, this research aimed to clarify the prognostic implications of the MELF pattern for individuals diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma.

Background And Aims: Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are often malnourished with a low muscular mass at the outset of management. This is thought to be mainly due to poor nutritional intake. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between tumor metabolic activity, inflammatory status and body composition in HNC patients.

Background: Cervical cancer (CESC) is a leading cause of death attributed to cancer worldwide. Advanced-stage cervical cancer presents unique challenges, such as few treatment modalities. Though DCBLD1 has been earlier connected to a variety of cancers, there has been no extensive investigation on DCBLD1 regarding cervical cancer.
