Cancer patients
A unique case of ovarian cancer complicated by chylothorax, a rare condition, has been documented by researchers. The patient, a 64-year-old woman, presented with advanced ovarian cancer that had extensive lymphatic metastasis and a right pleural effusion. After thoracentesis, the drainage fluid had a milky white appearance with triglyceride levels

Investigators at the Guangzhou Medical University in China have published a new study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two combination treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The researchers analyzed the outcomes of 459 HCC patients who underwent either transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with molecular

Research conducted at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of combining M1-c6v1 oncolytic virus with camrelizumab and apatinib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study, which enrolled 13 patients, showed a 70%

Researchers at Qingdao University have published a study on the application of chemotherapy using a combination of platinum and taxane agents in treating ovarian cancer. The study reveals that the abnormality of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) leads to nuclear envelope destruction and disrupts transmembrane transport, causing abnormal substance exchange.

Research conducted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University has found that older adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had a past COVID-19 infection do not face a significantly increased risk of surgical complications. However, the study identified high-risk subgroups, including those aged 75 years or older and heavy
Cancer metastasis
A recent study published in the Southern Medical Journal has shed light on the challenges of diagnosing axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases in patients with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC). Researchers from the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center conducted a retrospective review of patients with pT3 ILC between 2014 and 2023,

Scientists at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC and their collaborators are exploring innovative applications of nanotechnology in cancer immunotherapy, with back-to-back review articles published in Nature Cancer and Trends in Cancer. The studies highlight the potential of nanoengineering strategies to overcome tumors' defenses and treat solid tumors
Breast cancer
Researchers from Wits University and the South African National Cancer Registry conducted a genome-wide association study to identify genetic risk factors for breast cancer in a sub-Saharan African population. The study, which compared genetic variation between women with breast cancer and those without, identified two genetic variants close to the
