ZKSCAN3, a zinc-finger transcription factor containing KRAB and SCAN domains, has been reported to be regulated in several human cancers. However, its expression and function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. Expression of ZKSCAN3 in HCC
We previously investigated anti-cancer potential of a tumor selective oncolytic adenovirus along with cisplatin in three lung cancer cells; A549, H292, and H661, and found it very efficient. To our surprise, this virotherapy showed remarkable cytotoxicity to chemo-resistant cancer cells. Here, we...

This retrospective study was to investigate whether radiomics feature come from radiotherapy treatment planning CT can predict prognosis in locally advanced rectal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery. Four-hundred-eleven locally advanced rectal cancer patients which were ...
