New Gene Variant Linked to Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the USA. The growth and survival of PCa cells are driven by androgens through activation of the androgen receptor (AR) and its target genes. More...

Biomarkers Predict Prognosis in Alcohol-Related Cancer Patients

Alcohol consumption has been identified as a modifiable risk factor for cancers such as gastric cancer. Alcohol consumption likely induces gastric carcinogenesis through deregulation of ribonucleic acid polymerase III (POLR3) III and oxidative damage. More...

Genetic Study Predicts Stomach Cancer Progression

Although stomach cancer is treatable if detected early, diagnosis often occurs at an advanced stage, resulting in high mortality. Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a pre-malignant condition of the gastric mucosa associated with increased gastric cancer (GC) risk. More...

Protein Signature Associated with Outcome in Metastatic Melanoma

Clinical results in metastatic melanoma with the antibodies nivolumab and pembrolizumab to anti– programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) have led to clinically and statistically significant improvements in progression-free and overall survival compared to alternative first- and second-line therapies.
