Robotic Rectal Resection for Rectal Cancer in Elderly Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Clinical Medicine. Aug2023, Vol. 12 Issue 16, p5331. 12p.
Abstract: Rectal cancer is estimated to increase due to an expanding aging population, thus affecting elderly patients more frequently. The optimal surgical treatment for this type of patient remains controversial because they are often excluded from or underrep...
Safety and Effectiveness of Chemotherapy in Elderly Biliary Tract Cancer Patients.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Current Oncology. Aug2023, Vol. 30 Issue 8, p7229-7240. 12p. 9 Charts, 1 Graph.
Abstract: The safety and effectiveness of chemotherapy in elderly patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC) remain unclear. Therefore, we retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent chemotherapy for locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent BTC at our instit...
Unraveling the Angiogenic Puzzle: Pre-Treatment sVEGFR1 and sVEGFR2 Levels as Promising Prognostic Indicators in Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Sep2023, Vol. 24 Issue 17, p13508. 16p.
Abstract: Despite the advancements in breast cancer (BrC) diagnosis and treatment, a considerable proportion of patients with early-stage disease still experience local recurrence or metastasis. This study aimed to assess the levels of specific angiogenic parame...
Construction of a Matrix Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Signature Gene-Based Risk Prognostic Signature for Directing Immunotherapy in Patients with Breast Cancer Using Single-Cell Analysis and Machine Learning.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Sep2023, Vol. 24 Issue 17, p13175. 16p.
Abstract: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are heterogeneous constituents of the tumor microenvironment involved in the tumorigenesis, progression, and therapeutic responses of tumors. This study identified four distinct CAF subtypes of breast cancer (BRCA) ...
Predictors of Extraprostatic Extension in Patients with Prostate Cancer.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Clinical Medicine. Aug2023, Vol. 12 Issue 16, p5321. 12p.
Abstract: Purpose: To identify effective factors predicting extraprostatic extension (EPE) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: This retrospective cohort study recruited 898 consecutive patients with PCa treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radic...
Exploring the Use of a Digital Platform for Cancer Patients to Report Their Demographics, Disease and Therapy Characteristics, Age, and Educational Disparities: An Early-Stage Feasibility Study.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
