Every year, almost 900.000 people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer (HNC) worldwide. HNC contains many different subsites and a large variability in tumor biology. This often results in small and/or hete...
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common malignancies, characterized by high heterogeneity and poor outcomes. Effective classification for patient stratification and identifying reli...
Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor, and radical gastrectomy can markedly improve the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. However, some patients are diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer before recei...
The myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) family genes were involved in the carcinogenesis and prognosis of multiple human tumors. The impact of MEF2s on the occurrences, progression, and clinical outcome of pancre...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multifactorial and age-related disease. Additionally, age, sex, and risk factors for developing CRC may include genetic, epigenetic, and immunologic characteristics and lifestyle h...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment faces significant clinical challenges. Lactate metabolism plays a crucial role in the initiation of many cancers and the tumor microenvironment (TME). Ho...
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, posing significant challenges due to its heterogeneity and the emergence of drug resistance. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound derived...
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a subset of immature myeloid cells with immunosuppressive properties. Evidence suggests that abnormal immune system can lead to immune dysfunction and increase the ...
Most of the landmark cohorts and reviews that assessed the psychosocial outcomes among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors have focused on Western populations. This scoping review summarizes the ...
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in men. Once prostate cancer advances to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the 5-year survival rate can decrease to as low as 14 months. How...
Metastatic prostate cancer is commonly treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and chemotherapy, which often leads to treatment resistance and disease progression with limited effective interventions. ...
Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with chemotherapy significantly extends survival but increases the risk of trea...
