Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Novel Role and Mechanism of Interferon-Epsilon (IFN-Ɛ) on Human Melanoma

Xuechen Tian*; Zixin Rong; Siew Woh Choo*

    Melanoma, known for its aggressive progression and metastatic potential, remains a significant therapeutic challenge. This study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects of human IFN-ɛ, a neotype I interferon with potential tumor-inhibiting and immune-modulating properties, on melanoma cells.


Dietary Vitamin E Intake and Risk of Prostate Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study and a Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Long Cheng; Zhilong Dong*; Chengyu You; Zeming Qiu

    Vitamin E is a group of antioxidant to copherols and to cotrienols that have been shown to have a potential role in chemoprophylaxis. However, whether vitamin E can reduce the risk of prostate cancer remains controversial.


Juvenile Thyroid Follicular Cancer: A Rare Case Report

Nayab Mustansar

    Although all the thyroid carcinoma are rare in young adults but the Thyroid follicular carcinoma is the rarest one. Almost 90% of thyroid carcinomas are papillary while 6% of them are the follicular. The incidence of carcinoma thyroid in people in their twenties or younger age is absolutely rare i.e. 1 in million in world wide. The case I am presenting is a juvenile thyroid follicular carcinoma showing rapid growth of a goiter.


Molecular Pathways and Epigenetic Factors Regulating Chemoresistance in Cancer

Vikrant Rai*; Veena Potluri; Swati Agrawal

    Chemoresistance in cancer therapeutics is an emerging problem and led to relapse and poor prognosis. Development, progression, and metastasis of tumor is regulated by signaling pathways including PI3K, Akt, mTOR, NF-κB, ERK, MAPK, MEK, JAK/STAT, mTOR, HER-2, and EGFR signaling pathways. However, aberrant expression of these pathways as well as of epigenetic regulation including methylation, acetylation, microRNAs, and lncRNAs imparts chemo resistance in cancer...


IL-25 Gene Delivery; Immunotherapeutic Approach for Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Mohammadzadeh A; Bahmaie N; Esmaeilzadeh A*

    Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a type of cancer, in which, mainly, skin, mouth and esophagus are pronto being affected. As a specified type of this carcinoma, Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC) is regarded as the second most common non-melanoma skin cancer. About 250,000 cases of CSCC, are diagnosed annually, meanwhile, statistics depict a dramatic upsurge that culminated to 5 million in 2011. Classical risk factors of CSCC comprising age, ethnicity, skin phototype, Ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and immunocompromised.


Incidence of Penile Cancer in the State of the Espirito Santo in the Period 2000-2018

Narelle de Jesus Parmanhani*; Amanda Cristina Martins Reis Silva; Adilson Moreira Valory Junior

    Among the various forms of cancer is penile cancer, considered as a rare neoplasm and affects 1/100,000 men in developed countries. In Brazil, these tumors correspond to 2% of malignant neoplasms in men, being five times more prevalent in the North and Northeast regions compared to other regions. Aiming to write the incidence of penile cancer in the state of Espírito Santo (ES) in the period 2000-2018.


Ruptured intra-abdominal testicular seminoma presented with massive hemorrhage: A case report

    A 35-year-old male presented with acute abdomen with intra-abdominal hemorrhage. He had bilateral cryptorchidism and infertility. Immediate laparotomy was carried out. Excision of the tumor, right hemi colectomy and peritoneal toilet was done...


Global patent landscape in breast cancer metastasis

Martín Perez-Santos*; Maricruz Anaya-Ruiz

    Objective: To analyse multi-source data patents, and try to draw the whole landscape of the research and development community in the field of breast cancer metastasis.


How to overcome endocrine resistance in early and metastatic breast cancer

Ewelina Biskup; Marcus Vetter*

    According to St. Gallen Consensus, endocrine responsive breast cancer is defined by positive steroidal receptors (ER= estrogen receptor and PR= Progesterone Receptor). ER/PR and HER2 are the most important biomarkers in decision-making about adjuvant and palliative treatment options. Available data suggest, that the higher the expression of ER and PR, the better the outcome for patients with early and advanced breast cancers.


Risk of myocarditis in patients with cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Matthew Kelling MS; Michelle Dimza; Samir Dalia MD*

    The field of oncology has changed immensely since the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Cancers, such as advanced melanoma, previously carried a prognosis of 8-10 months, now patients have a chance at remission [1]. In certain patient populations with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ICIs are improving outcomes and becoming the standard of care [2]. The potency of these immunotherapy agents is due to their ability to disinhibit the body's immune response and unleash a vigorous antitumor response.


A case of isolated metastasis to right level II cervical lymph node from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

David Forner*; Martin Bullock; Matthew Rigby; Derek Wilke; Nathan Lamond

    Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common reason for referral to the Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery clinic. The differential diagnosis is broad, and can include infectious, traumatic, anatomical, and neoplastic etiologies. Cervical lymph nodes are the primary site of metastasis for head and neck cancers, but have also been implicated in other forms of cancer, including primary tumors of the lung, gastrointestinal tract, and breast.


The role of exosomes in diagnosis of non-haematological malignancies

Dhruv Jain*, Sneha Dhariwal, Honey Sachdeva

    Exosomes are nano-sized particles 'exfoliated' from a variety of cell types. They are known to facilitate exchange of messages between various cells by transporting bio-functional cargo like proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Exosomes play a pivotal role in cellular signaling under normal physiological conditions, as well as in diseased states like cancer. They are shed in excessive amounts by cancer cells and can be harnessed from a variety of body fluids.


Breast and bone: A story of hidden similarities

Chiara Antonacci, Manuel Scimeca, Rita Bonfiglio, Sara Fazi, Elena Bonanno*

    Several clinical and biological evidences, such as breast calcifications and breast metastasis to bone, suggest a deep relation between bone and breast tissues. Tangible proofs of great similarities between these tissues bring to light how complex phenomena, as breast micro calcifications and bone metastasis, could be the result of a tight correlation between apparently different organs.
