Researchers at Harbin Medical University have published a study on the role of double minutes in the progression of gastric cancer, a type of cancer with high incidence and mortality rates globally. The study used bioinformatics methods to analyze genomic copy number variation data and genomic features of tumor samples
Cancer
Research has shed new light on the critical role of programmed cell death (PCD) genes in gastric cancer progression and response to therapies. A team of researchers from Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, led by YinChao Guo, has developed a prognostic cell death signature (PCDs) for gastric cancer, providing
Cancer research
Researchers have developed a novel method for detecting gastric cancer using plasma protein concentrations, offering a non-invasive and accurate approach for early detection. The study involved analyzing plasma samples from 138 participants, including patients with different gastric pathologies and healthy controls, to identify potential biomarkers. The results highlighted the promise
Cancer
Research published in the Gastric Cancer journal revealed significant differences in gene expression levels among specific sites of primary tumors and synchronous lymph node metastases in advanced gastric cancer patients. The study analyzed 48 patients' specimens, obtained through laser-captured microdissection, to determine the expression levels of six target genes:
Cancer
Researchers from Sun Yat Sen University have conducted a study to evaluate the significance of epigenetic changes in Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC). The study analyzed 49 EBVaGC tissue samples and 45 EBV-negative gastric carcinoma (EBVnGC) tissue samples, as well as cell lines, to determine the promoter methylation status and
Cancer
Researchers have shed new light on the molecular pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and gastric cancer (GC) associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The virus is known to be involved in nearly all cases of NPC and approximately 10% of GC worldwide. Studies have shown that EBV contributes to the initiation
Cancer
Research conducted at the University of Pittsburgh has shed light on the regulatory mechanism of the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1 in gastric cancer cells, revealing a novel target for enhancing sensitivity to oxaliplatin. The study found that Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) expression levels were positively correlated with Mcl-1 expression, both of
Cancer
Fresh data on the role of long non-coding RNA HOTAIR in gastric adenocarcinoma have been presented in a new report. Research from Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, has found that HOTAIR promotes carcinogenesis and invasion of gastric adenocarcinoma by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting invasiveness. The study highlights the complex
Cancer
A Phase I dose-escalation study, known as GASTANA, has evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of cabazitaxel in Asian patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who have failed two prior chemotherapy regimens. The study revealed that 15 patients were evaluable for dose-limiting toxicities, with one patient experiencing a
Cancer
A recent study on the P53 pathway has shed new light on the genetic factors that contribute to gastric cancer risk. Researchers at Capital Medical University in Beijing, China, analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P53 pathway to determine their association with gastric cancer in a hospital-based Chinese Han
