Anti-angiogenesis in cancer therapeutics: the magic bullet - 2021
Ayodipupo Sikiru Oguntade, Faez Al-Amodi, Abdullah Alrumayh, Muath Alobaida, Mwango Bwalya
Abstract Background Angiogenesis is the formation of new vascular networks from
preexisting ones through the migration and proliferation of differentiated
endothelial cells. Available evidence suggests that while antiangiogenic therapy
could inhibit tumour growth, the response to these agents is not sustained. The
aim of this paper was to review the evidence for anti-angiogenic therapy in

Podophyllotoxin-polyacrylic acid conjugate micelles: improved anticancer efficacy against multidrug-resistant breast cancer Tập 32 Số 1 - 2020
Popat Kumbhar, Asmita M Sakate, Onkar B. Patil, Arehalli S. Manjappa, John Disouza
Abstract Background Podophyllotoxin (PPT) is a naturally occurring compound
obtained from the roots of Podophyllum species, indicated for a variety of
malignant tumors such as breast, lung, and liver tumors. This toxic polyphenol
(PPT) exhibited significant activity against P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated
multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells. However, extremely poor water
solubility, a narrow the... hiện toàn bộ
Thyroid cancer associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis: similarities and differences in an endemic area Tập 32 Số 1 - 2020
Osama Hussein, Khaled Abdelwahab, Omar Hamdy, Shadi Awny, Nirmeen Megahed, Mohamed T. Hafez, Amr F. Elalfi, Mahmoud Ameri, Khaled Gaballah, Mohamed Abdelkhalek
Abstract Background Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune lymphocytic
thyroiditis and is the most common form of thyroid inflammatory diseases. The
association of HT with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been described. PTC
is the most common form of malignancy associated with HT. When papillary
carcinoma develops on top of Hashimoto thyroiditis, the disease tends to be less
aggressive ... hiện toàn bộ
Oral carcinoma cuniculatum: an unacquainted entity with diagnostic challenges—a case report Tập 34 Số 1 - 2022
Safaa Baz, Hatem Amer, Ali A. Wahed
Abstract Background Oral carcinoma cuniculatum (OCC) is an unacquainted
well-differentiated subtype of oral squamous cell carcinoma, which displays
unique clinic-pathological features. Up to date, OCC remains rare with about 75
reported cases, and is frequently missed or even misdiagnosed. Case presentation
The aim of the present work was: to report a case of OCC in mandibular gingiva
and to highl... hiện toàn bộ
Studying ferroptosis and iron metabolism pre- and post-radiotherapy treatment in breast cancer patients
Sanaa A. El-Benhawy, Ibrahim G. Abdelrhman, Nayera Sadek, Enayat I Fahmy, Ahmed Amin Abogabal, Hossam M. El-Masry, Sally A M Saleh, Ola A Sakr, Mona Nagy Elwany, Maha A. Rabie
Abstract Background Radiotherapy (RT) is an important part of the treatment of
many tumors. Radiotherapy causes oxidative damage in all cellular compartments,
including lipid membrane, on a random basis. Toxic lipid peroxidation
accumulation has only lately been linked to a regulated type of cell death known
as ferroptosis. Iron is required for ferroptosis sensitization in cells. Aim of
the work T... hiện toàn bộ
Axillary nodal metastasis in ovarian cancer: a report of three cases and review of literature - 2019
Mohammad Zuhdy, Reham Alghandour, Gena Abdelazeem, Gehad A. Saleh, Mahmoud Saleh, Mohamed Hamdy, Omar Hamdy
Abstract Background Ovarian cancer represents a major global health burden that
is rarely associated with distant metastasis. Axillary lymph node metastasis
from ovarian cancer is rare and is reported only in few case reports in
literature. Case presentation We report three cases of ovarian carcinoma
associated with axillary lymph node metastasis as well as a brief literature
review. The pathologi... hiện toàn bộ
Demographics, clinical features, and prognosis of rare lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma across different anatomic sites Tập 34 Số 1 - 2022
Xiaoyu Zhai, Jiewei Liu, Donghao Lu, Qinghua Zhang
Abstract Background Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is an unusual
histological malignancy type. Due to the rarity of this disease, we used the
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to investigate
comprehensively and systematically the prognosis factor of LELC. Methods We
identified 2079 patients diagnosed with LELC during 1973–2015 from the SEER
database. LELC was cla... hiện toàn bộ
Correlation of miR-31 and miR-373 expression with KRAS mutations and its impact on prognosis in colorectal cancer Tập 34 Số 1
Hasan Ashoori, Shaghayegh Kamian, Farnaz Vahidian, Mohammad Ebrahim Ghamar-Chehreh
Abstract Introduction Colorectal cancers (CRC) are among the most common
cancers. There are different modalities for treatment including chemotherapy,
surgery, and radiotherapy. There are some mutations in cancers which can assist
in the treatment and better prognosis of patients. In this study, two molecular
markers (miR-31 and miR-373) were involved in the pathogenesis of CRC and their
associati... hiện toàn bộ
