Obesity and Cancer: Mechanisms, Epidemiological Evidence, and Potential Risk Reduction.

Obesity promotes carcinogenesis through interlocking metabolic, inflammatory, immune, and hormonal pathways. We narratively synthesize recent meta-analyses and selected cohort studies that examine adiposity-principally body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference-in relation to cancer incidence. Across the 13 cancers designated by the U.S. National Cancer Institute as obesity-associated, risk elevations are generally consistent, though magnitudes vary by histology (e.g., esophageal adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma), anatomic subsite (gastric cardia vs. non-cardia), sex or menopausal

Translation of Epigenetics in Cell-Free DNA Liquid Biopsy Technology and Precision Oncology.

Technological advancements in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) liquid biopsy have triggered exponential growth in numerous clinical applications. While cfDNA-based liquid biopsy has made significant strides in personalizing cancer treatment, the exploration and translation of epigenetics in liquid biopsy to clinical practice is still nascent. This comprehensive review seeks to provide a broad yet in-depth narrative of the present status of epigenetics in cfDNA liquid biopsy and its associated challenges. It highlights the potential of epigenetics in cfDNA liquid biopsy technologies with the hopes of enha

Drug treatment for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal disease where most tumors are too advanced at diagnosis for resection, leaving chemotherapy as the mainstay of treatment. Although the prognosis of unresectable PC is poor, it has been dramatically improved by new chemotherapy treatments, such as the combination of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and leucovorin (FOLFIRINOX) or gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel. However, as oxaliplatin and paclitaxel are common neurotoxic drugs, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and severe adverse effect of both treatments. As there are no ag

Approaches to the Management of Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.

High rates of recurrence and distant metastasis are a foremost challenge in the management of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), occurring in approximately 40% of all ACC patients. Despite the morbidity and mortality resulting from recurrent/metastatic (R/M) disease, there are no FDA-approved systemic agents for these patients. In this review, we summarize pertinent ACC pathophysiology and its implications for different systemic treatment regimens in R/M ACC. We review the evidence for the most widely used systemic agents - cytotoxic chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting VE

Comparative study of early onset cancer burden between China and the United States from 1990 to 2021.

China and the United States face a mounting burden associated with early-onset cancers. Comparing the burden and trends of early-onset cancers between the two countries, analyzing attributable risk factors, drawing on the successful experience of the US in cancer research, prevention, and care can provide valuable insights to inform China's prevention and control strategies. A comparative study based on the 2021 Global Burden of Disease repository was conducted to assess the average annual percentage change in the burden of early-onset cancers. Linear regression analysis was performed using th

Deciphering and targeting oncogenic pathways through integrated approaches and amino acid metabolism in hematologic malignancies.

Hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, represent a diverse group of blood cancers driven by complex oncogenic pathways and genetic aberrations. Despite advances in treatment, resistance and relapse remain significant clinical challenges. This review presents an integrative approach to blood cancer therapy, highlighting the convergence of precision medicine, CRISPR-based gene editing, immunotherapy (including CAR-T cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors), and targeted modulation of amino acid metabolism. We investigate the molecular pathways driving tumour

Psychiatric disorders in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors in Korea.

BackgroundAlthough adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors have an increased risk of psychiatric disorders, limited evidence has been suggested. We aimed to determine the risk of psychiatric disorders among AYA cancer survivors.Materials and methodsA retrospective population-based cohort study based on the Korea National Health Insurance Service database was carried out. All men and women aged 15-39 years diagnosed with cancer between 2006 and 2019 (N = 88 965) were included and matched with controls (1 : 4). The prevalence ratios (PRs) of psychiatric disorders were calculated in can

Факторы риска и результаты новой инфекции моноцитогенов листерии в Пакистане: понимание из больницы третичной медицинской помощи.

Listeria monocitogenes — грэм-положительный стержень, ответственный за листериоз. Она стала одним из основных патогенов, передающихся через пищевые продукты, и была причастна к многочисленным вспышкам во всем мире, часто встречающимся с бактерией, и может привести к серьезным проявлениям, таким, как менингоэнцефалит, особенно у лиц с иммунокомпромиссом и у пожилых людей. Инфекция материнства связана с худшими последствиями беременности. Цель этого исследования заключается в оценке факторов риска, клинических особенностей и результатов лечения пациентов, инфицированных моноцитогенами Листерии,

Absence of Biomarker-Driven Treatment Options in Small Cell Lung Cancer, and Selected Preclinical Candidates for Next Generation Combination Therapies.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 15% of all lung cancers. In SCLC, more than other malignancies, the standard of care is based on clinical demonstration of efficacy, and less on a mechanistic understanding of why certain treatments work better than others. This is in large part due to the virulence of the disease, and lack of clinically or biologically relevant biomarkers beyond routine histopathology. While first line therapies work in the majority of patients with extensive stage disease, development of re

Sex Differences in Cancer Immunotherapy-Clinical Evidence and Mechanisms With a Focus on NSCLC.

Accumulating evidence suggests that the immune system shows subtle but relevant differences between men and women. These differences may have an impact on cancer development and TME composition as well as responses to and adverse events elicited by immunotherapies. Several, albeit not all, clinical trials indicate a greater benefit from mono-immunotherapies over chemotherapies for male patients than for female patients, especially in non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma. Vice versa, female patients might benefit more from chemo-immunotherapies. In human as well as animal models, sex differe

Vegetable Gardening and Health Outcomes in Older Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Preclinical efficacy of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor BC2059 for the treatment of desmoid tumors.

Mutation in the CTNNB1 gene, leading to a deregulation of the WTN/β-catenin pathway, is a common feature of desmoid tumors (DTs). Many β-catenin inhibitors have recently been tested in clinical studies; however, BC2059 (also referred as Tegavivint), a selective inhibitor of nuclear β-catenin that works through binding TBL-1, is the only one being evaluated in a clinical study, specifically for treatment of desmoid tumor patients. Preclinical studies on BC2059 have shown activity in multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia and osteosarcoma. Our preclinical studies provide data on the efficacy o

The Fibronectin Expression Determines the Distinct Progressions of Malignant Gliomas via Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Pathway.

Due to the increasing incidence of malignant gliomas, particularly glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a simple and reliable GBM diagnosis is needed to screen early the death-threaten patients. This study aimed to identify a protein that can be used to discriminate GBM from low-grade astrocytoma and elucidate further that it has a functional role during malignant glioma progressions. To identify proteins that display low or no expression in low-grade astrocytoma but elevated levels in GBM, glycoprotein fibronectin (FN) was particularly examined according to the mining of the Human Protein Atlas. We
