The NCCCP's primary intervention was the implementation of the Commission on Cancer Rapid Quality Reporting System (RQRS). The RQRS is a hospital-based data collection and evaluation system allowing near real-time assessment of selected breast and colon cancer quality of care measures. Building on...
Somatic mutations in cancer genomes are caused by multiple mutational processes, each of which generates a characteristic mutational signature1. Here, as part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium2 of the International Cancer Gen
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an unexpected post-operative ICU admission on the burden of cancer symptoms among older adults who underwent high-intensity cancer surgery and survived to hospital discharge. Methods We performed a population-based cohort study of older ...
Because examinations for gastric cancer can also detect EC, screening programmes for gastric cancer could be effective in reducing EC mortality. If possible, the nationwide screening programme for gastric cancer should be re-evaluated for its effectiveness to reduce the mortality of both gastric cancer...

immunotherapy is a well-known treatment strategy for cancer that can enhance the existing anti-tumor response so that immune cells can restrict the growth of malignant cells. Again, immunotherapy can effectively target the cancer cells while causing minimal adverse effects [2,3]. Moreover, to prov...
Additional surgery is recommended after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer. However, it is not easy to recommend for tumors located in the upper third of the stomach, because it would be a total or proximal gastrectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the actual ...
GC tissues and corresponding adjacent non-tumour (NC) tissues (16 paired samples) were obtained from Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University. All patients did not receive any neoadjuvant therapy before operation and were diagnosed as by postoperative pathology. The surgically excised specimens...
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents the greatest number of identified therapeutic targets, some of which have therapeutic utility. Currently, detec
