I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. Surgery was necessary but I refused all other treatment, much to the disgust of the highly paid oncolgist.
It accounts for cancer mortality and remains as a major challenge in cancer management.28 For GC, the 5-year survival rate is o25% for patients with advanced stage with metastasis, compared with a 490% survival rate for patients in early stages without metastasis. Hence, there is an urgent...
CDKs in cell cycle regulation Cancer derives from uncontrolled cell division which results from the dysregulation of cell cycle progression including four stages of G1 (Gap phase 1), S phase (DNA synthesis), G2 (Gap phase 2), and M phase (mitosis) (Fig. 1). Cell cycle is monitored by...

The TME mainly affects the process of tumor progression and evolution, and the CSCs niche that exists in the TME plays an important role in the origin and evolution of the tumor, which proves that the TME has an important influence on the development stages of tumors. To date, many therapy...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), initially identified in leukemia in 1994, constitute a distinct subset of tumor cells characterized by surface markers such as CD133, CD44, and ALDH. Their behavior is regulated through a complex interplay of networks, including
TNM stages,differentiations,lymph node metastasis and their correlations each other.Results The positive rates of CXCR4 expression was 58.1% in NSCLC,which was dramatically higher than that in a normal tissues(16.7%)(P0.05).The expressions of CXCR4 and MVD was significantly correlated in NSCLC ...
Many patients with esophageal cancer present during the later stages of the disease and dysphagia and weight loss are the most common symptoms at presentation. The goal of palliative therapy is to improve symptoms and quality of life while minimizing morbidity and hospital stay. The modalities that...
We further evaluated the sensitivity of the SHOX2, RASSF1A, and PTGER4 methylation panel in plasma in different tumor stages (Fig. 2B and Table 3). The results showed that the methylation analysis of SHOX2, RASSF1A, and PTGER4 in plasma showed high diagnostic ability with a sensitivity ...
