Lung cancer (LC), a paramount global life-threatening condition causing significant mortality, is most commonly characterized by its subtype, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Concomitant with LC, pulmonary fibrosis...
The brachytherapy (BT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) are two methods recommended in current guidelines for the treatment of localized prostate cancer (PCa). It is difficult to compare the oncological results ...
To develop radiomics models based on multi-sequence MRI from two centers for the preoperative prediction of the WHO/ISUP grade of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC).
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators of biological processes such as transcription interference and activation, chromatin remodeling, and mRNA translation. Uncontrolled gene expression could re...
Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of salivary gland cancer, frequently associated with incurable recurrences and distant metastases (R/M). Proliferation of SDC relies on androgen r...
Exosomes are closely associated with different aspects of tumor-progression in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), such as angiogenesis or immune regulation. As extracellular vesicles ...
