CAFs may derive from various origins (e.g. myofibroblasts, epithelial and mesenchymal cells) and they are heterogeneous in their phenotypes and functions [10,11]. These activated, specialized forms of fibroblasts can be identified through positive expression of markers such as alpha-smooth muscle ...
Use of molecular markers in urine, tissue or blood offers potential opportunities to improve understanding of bladder cancer biology which may help identif
A blood test that could detect 12 cancers is being developed by scientists at a British university, the health secretary has said. "Just a couple of drops of blood could tell you if you had lung, breast or bladder cancer, helping end months-long waits for tests and scans," Wes...

Our study aims to investigate the correlations of blood cell indices and inflammation-related markers with kidney cancer risk. Methods: We performed a population-based cohort prospective analysis using data from the UK Biobank. A total of 466,994 participants, free of kidney can...
Biological age (BA), on the other hand, combines information from biological markers and may better reflect an individual’s physiology and risks of age-related diseases and death [7]. In recent years, various BA measures have been proposed and validated, including telomere length, deficit-...
However, these tests are not widely available, for instance in the UK they are only commercially available in some private clinics, severely limiting accessibility both financially and geographically. MiRs have been investigated for their potential to serve as alternative molecular markers for PCa. ...
However, evidence concerning hematological and biochemical markers influencing the natural history of breast cancer from in situ breast cancer to mortality is limited. Methods In the UK Biobank cohort, 260,079 women were enrolled during 2006–2010 and were followed up until 2019 to test the 59 ...
Correlation among the different immune markers Positive Spearman correlations between Tregs and MDSCs (rs = 0.30; p < 0.001), PD-1 + OX40- T cells and Tregs (rs = 0.51; p < 0.001), and between PD-1 + OX40- T cells (rs = 0.35; p < 0.001)...
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) derived from tumours is present in the plasma of cancer patients. The majority of currently available studies on the use of this circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) deal with the detection of mutations. The analysis of cfDNA is often dis
