Lenvatinib (LEN), a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a standard therapeutic agent for hepatocellular carcinoma, but the high incidence of adverse events (AEs) related to LEN treatment often necessitates treatment discontinuation. The present study aimed to clarify the therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of modified LEN dosing methods, such as alternate-day dosing, necessitated by AEs of LEN. A total of 66 patients who received LEN at Ogaki Municipal Hospital (Ogaki, Japan) between April 2018 and January 2022 were retrospectively evaluated...

The Warburg effect indicates that cancer cells survive through glycolysis under aerobic conditions; as such, the topic of cancer metabolism has aroused interest. It is requisite to further explore cancer metabolism, as it helps to simultaneously explain the process of carcinogenesis and guide therapy. The flexible metabolism of cancer cells, which is the result of metabolic reprogramming, can meet the basic needs of cells, even in a nutrition-deficient environment. Glutamine is the most abundant non-essential amino acid in the circulation, and along with glucose, comprise the two basic nutrients of cancer cell metabolism...

Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS), an essential enzyme involved in the mevalonate pathway, is implicated in various diseases, including multiple types of cancer. As an RNA-binding protein (RBP), FDPS is also involved in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. However, to the best of our knowledge, transcriptome-wide targets of FDPS still remain unknown. In the present study, FDPS expression patterns in pan-cancer were analyzed. In addition, it was investigated how FDPS overexpression (FDPS-OE) regulates the transcriptome in HeLa cells...

Immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and ICIs are increasingly used in combination with cytotoxic treatments, such as chemotherapy. Although combined treatments are more effective, not all patients respond to the therapy; therefore, a detailed understanding of the effect of treatment combinations at the tumour level is needed. The present study aimed to explore whether ICIs could affect the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy on lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with different PD-L1 expression levels (high, HCC-44; low, A-549)...

Malignant osteosarcoma (OS) is a tumor of bone and soft tissue that metastasizes early and has a high mortality rate. Protein serine kinase H1 (PSKH1), an autophosphorylating human protein serine kinase, controls the trafficking of serine/arginine-rich domain, with downstream effects on mRNA processing. It is also associated with tumor progression. However, how this protein contributes to OS progression and metastasis is unknown. The present study evaluated the potential effect of PSKH1 on proliferation of human OS cells...

Poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are novel targeted anticancer agents that have been widely used in patients with cancer, particularly in patients with breast-related cancer antigen 1/2 mutations. PARP inhibitors are administered orally and have been associated with improved efficacy and toxicity profiles when compared to conventional chemotherapy agents; this improvement is convenient and results in good compliance among patients with cancer. However, as PARP inhibitors are administered long-term and frequently concomitantly with other therapeutic agents, the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is increasing...

Exposed endoscopic full-thickness resection (Eo-EFTR) has been recognized as a feasible therapy for gastrointestinal submucosal tumours (SMTs) originating deep in the muscularis propria layer; however, Eo-EFTR is difficult to perform in a retroflexed fashion in the gastric fundus. As a supportive technique, clip- and snare-assisted traction may help expose the surgical field and shorten the operation time in endoscopic resection of difficult regions. However, the application of clip- and snare-assisted traction in Eo-EFTR of SMTs in the gastric fundus is limited...

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) has been shown to reduce tumor burden and achieve tumor regression in patients with esophageal cancer (ESC). However, the most beneficial time interval between the administration of nCRT and surgery remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the association of the duration of time between nCRT and surgery with the prognosis of patients with ESC. Patients with ESC who received nCRT following surgical resection (n=161) were reviewed and divided into the prolonged time interval group (time interval ≥66 days) and the short time interval group (time interval <66 days), according to the median value...

Cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancer are the three most common types of gynecologic cancer. As a hub, the vagina connects the site of gynecological cancer with the external environment. Lactobacilli participate in the formation of a healthy vaginal microenvironment as the first line of defense against pathogen invasion; a dysbiotic vaginal microenvironment loses its original protective function and is associated with the onset, metastasis, poor efficacy and poor prognosis of gynecological cancer. The early diagnosis of cancer is the key to improve the survival time of patients with cancer...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been an encouraging treatment method in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, bone and liver metastases are considered to restrain immunotherapy efficacy. Since serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is associated with bone and liver metastases, it was investigated whether serum ALP could be a novel biomarker to predict the efficacy of ICIs treatment. In the present study, 143 patients with NSCLC receiving ICIs treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The objective response rate (ORR) was compared between the ALP high and low groups, bone metastasis and non-bone metastasis groups, and liver metastasis or non-liver metastasis groups...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a very aggressive type of primary brain tumor in adults with a poor prognosis. DNA double-strand breaks are known to be associated with the development of numerous cancer types due to their ability to generate genomic instabilities. In GBM, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway is a common pathway that can be activated by exogenous and endogenous factors. Genomic instability may be an endogenous stimulating factor for activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, which may inhibit the apoptosis of GBM cells...

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the type of OC with the highest mortality rate. Due to the asymptomatic nature of the disease and few available diagnostic tests, it is mostly diagnosed at the advanced stage. Therefore, the present study aimed to discover predictive and/or early diagnostic novel circulating microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) for EOC. Firstly, microarray analysis of miRNA expression levels was performed on 32 samples of female individuals: Eight plasma samples from patients with pathologically confirmed EOC (mean age, 45 (30-54) years), eight plasma samples from matched healthy individuals (HIs) (mean age, 44 (30-65) years), eight EOC tissue samples (mean age, 45 (30-54) years) and eight benign ovarian (mean age, 35 (17-70) years) neoplastic tissue samples A total of 31 significantly dysregulated miRNAs in serum and three miRNAs in tissue were identified by microarray...
