Background: Kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) is a common type of renal cell carcinoma. DNA methylation plays an important role in the development of several cancers. The aim of our study was to identify differentially expressed genes associated with abnormal DNA methylation as biomarkers for predicting the outcome of KIRP.
Method: We downloaded KIRP methylation data, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data, and their corresponding clinical information from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. ChAMP and DEGseq2 packages in R software were used to screen differentially methylated probes (DMPs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify suitable immune related genes correlated with aberrant methylations as prognosis biomarkers.
Results: We identified 8 DEGs (Cysteine And Glycine Rich Protein 1 [CSRP1], major histocompatibility complex, Class II, DM Beta [HLA-DMB], LIF Receptor Subunit Alpha [LIFR], Leukotriene B4 receptor 2 [LTB4R2], Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 14 [MAP3K14], Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 Group F Member 1 [NR2F1], Secreted And Transmembrane 1 [SECTM1], and Vimentin [VIM]) that were independently associated with the overall survival (months) (OS) of KIRP. The time dependent area under the curve (AUC) for each receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the risk assessment model at 1, 3, 5, and 10-years reached 0.8415, 0.8131, 0.7873, and 0.7667. The risk assessment model was correlated with several immune cells and factors. The AUC value of the diagnosis model using those 8 DEGs reached 0.99.
Conclusions: The risk assessment model constructed by those 8 DEGs was well able to predict the prognosis and diagnose of KIRP. However, whether the prognosis and diagnosis model could be applied in clinical practice requires further study.

Background: Bioinformatics analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) expression profiles can aid in understanding its molecular mechanisms and identifying new targets for diagnosis and treatment.
Aim: In this study, we analyzed expression profile datasets and miRNA expression profiles related to HCC from the GEO using R software to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs).
Methods And Results: Common DEGs were identified, and a PPI network was constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software to identify hub genes.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between body composition, overall survival, odds of receiving treatment, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in individuals living with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC).
Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted in newly diagnosed patients with mNSCLC who had computed-tomography (CT) scans and completed PRO questionnaires close to metastatic diagnosis date. Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression evaluated overall survival and odds of receiving treatment, respectively.

Objective: Margin distance is a significant prognosticator in oral cavity cancer but its role in HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [HPV(+)OPSCC] remains unclear. Here, we investigate the impact of margin distance on locoregional recurrence in HPV(+)OPSCC.
Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of surgically treated HPV(+)OPSCC patients.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been widely applicated for the treatment of patients with advanced esophageal cancer. Skin-related adverse reactions are frequent with ICIs, with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) being a severe and potentially life-threatening cutaneous reaction.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 70-year-old male with locally advanced esophageal cancer who developed severe toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) after 18 days of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy.
