Objectives: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an essential role in cancer biology. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) is the most severe precancerous lesion of cervical cancer. However, the mechanism of multiple lncRNAs in CIN3 has not been studied in-depth and is worth exploring. This study aims to summarize the lncRNA expression profile in CIN 3 and screen for lncRNAs with potential oncogenic effects.
Methods: To further clarify the role of lncRNAs in the development of CIN3, this study collected cancer tissue and para-cancer tissue specimens from three CIN3 patients. The RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis was used to construct expression profiles of lncRNAs and confirmed by real-time reverse transcription PCR (real-time RT-PCR) methods. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were performed with computational methods. We obtained their possible target genes through the cis- and trans-regulatory analysis of the lncRNAs. In addition, this study predicted new transcripts and lncRNAs by Cufflinks analysis and coding potential identification (Coding Potential Calculator) analysis to discover new tumor regulatory molecules.
Results: The differential expressions of 1 555 genes, 1 562 mRNAs, 241 ncRNAs, and 6 616 new predicted-lncRNAs were found. The most prominently up-regulated and down-regulated lncRNAs were NR_145433.1 and ENST00000513672.1, respectively. KEGG analysis revealed that lncRNA-targeted genes were closely related to apoptosis, metabolic, p53 signaling pathway, and other cancer-related pathways. The real-time RT-PCR validation results of 5 apoptosis-related lncRNAs (NR_145433.1, ENST00000510610.2, UC001Kfo, ENST00000602964.1, and NR_123733.1) in cervical cancer were consistent with the sequencing results.
Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive expression profile of lncRNAs in CIN3 patients, particularly the apoptosis-related expression profile of lncRNAs, and provides direction and clues for the study of cervical cancer and the search for potential therapeutic targets.

Purpose: In the care for oesophageal cancer, symptom assessment was mainly carried out from the perspective of the total score using scales, which ignored individual differences in symptom experience among patients. To provide personalized symptom management, individual differences among patients with oesophageal cancer warranted further investigation. The objective was to identify the different symptom profiles of patients after oesophagectomy and examine the risk factors affecting the symptom profiles.

Background: Cervical cancer screening program in Uganda is opportunistic and focuses mainly on women aged 25-49 years. Female sex workers (FSWs) are at increased risk of developing invasive cervical cancer. There is limited data regarding the uptake and acceptability of cervical cancer screening among FSWs in Uganda.

Methods: This study used a multi-stage stratified random sampling method to select 4, 000 women in urban and rural areas of Beijing to analyze their behavior, basic situation, and influencing factors regarding cervical and breast cancer screening.
Results: The sample size of the final included valid analysis was 3861 people, and the screening rate was 27.

Introduction: Cervical cancer (CC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Uganda women, yet rates of CC screening are very low. Training women who have recently screened to engage in advocacy for screening among women in their social network is a network-based strategy for promoting information dissemination and CC screening uptake.
Methods: Drawing on the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) framework for implementation science, this hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a peer-led, group advocacy training intervention, Game Changers for Cervical Cancer Prevention (GC-CCP), will examine efficacy for increasing CC screening uptake as well as how it can be implemented and sustained in diverse clinic settings.
