Non-Coding RNAs: The "Dark Side Matter" of the CLL Universe.

For many years in the field of onco-hematology much attention has been given to mutations in protein-coding genes or to genetic alterations, including large chromosomal losses or rearrangements. Despite this, biological and clinical needs in this sector remain unmet. Therefore, it is not surprising that recent studies have shifted from coded to non-coded matter. The discovery of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has influenced several aspects related to the treatment of cancer. In particular, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) the knowledge of ncRNAs and their contextualization have led to the ident

Platelet proteome and tumor dormancy: can platelets content serve as predictive biomarkers for exit of tumors from dormancy?

Although tumor dormancy is highly prevalent, the underling mechanisms are still mostly unknown. It is unclear which lesions will progress and become a disseminated cancer, and which will remain dormant and asymptomatic. Yet, an improved ability to predict progression would open the possibility of timely treatment and improvement in outcomes. We have recently described the ability of platelets to selectively uptake angiogenesis regulators very early in tumor growth, and proposed their use as an early marker of malignancy. In this review we will summarize current knowledge about these processes

Cardiogenic shock among cancer patients.

Sophisticated cancer treatments, cardiovascular risk factors, and aging trigger acute cardiovascular diseases in an increasing number of cancer patients. Among acute cardiovascular diseases, cancer treatment, as well as the cancer disease itself, may induce a cardiogenic shock. Although increasing, these cardiogenic shocks are still relatively limited, and their management is a matter of debate in cancer patients. Etiologies that cause cardiogenic shock are slightly different from those of non-cancer patients, and management has some specific features always requiring a multidisciplinary appro

Identification of Potentially Pathogenic Variants Associated with Recurrence in Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) Patients Using Whole-Exome Sequencing.

Background: Bisphosphonates are antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs that prevent and treat bone loss and mineralization in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and cancer patients. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is commonly caused by tooth extraction and dental trauma. Although genetic and pathological studies about MRONJ have been conducted, the pathogenesis of MRONJ still remains unclear. Methods: We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with MRONJ, using whole-exome sequencing (WES). Ten MRONJ patients prescribed bisphosphonates were recruited for WES, and
