This study aimed to elucidate the expression profile and biological implications of peroxidase 5 (PRDX5) in bladder cancer (BC), specifically investigating its influence on BC progression through modulation of...
Haematological cancer affects more than 1.3 million people around the world annually and accounted for almost 800,000 deaths globally in 2020. The number of patients with these cancers undergoing bone marrow t...
There is a lack of consensus among physicians working in the field of disability assessment about the definition of a limited life expectancy. The aim of this study was to describe the mortality rate of employ...
Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is one of the most prevalent soft tissue tumours of the foot and ankle. Although typically benign, it can exhibit locally aggressive behaviour. This study aims to evaluate...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of track sealing using subpleural injection of gelatin sponge particles in reducing the incidence of pneumothorax after percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy.
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common type of lung cancer and its pathogenic mechanism is complicated. A profound research for the molecular mechanism in LUAD is indispensable.
Approximately 50% of ovarian cancer (OC) survivors report fear of cancer recurrence/progression (FCR/P) as the most challenging aspect of living with cancer. This pilot, randomised waitlist-controlled trial ai...
