Taxanes are an effective class of chemotherapeutics, but they frequently cause chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN complicates treatment, often leading to alterations or discontinuation. Th...
Shared decision-making (SDM) improves outcomes in urinary reconstruction after radical cystectomy, but its implementation in China remains understudied. This qualitative study explores SDM barriers and facilit...
Anaemia of inflammation represents a common form of anaemia. It is often clinically linked to pre-existing comorbidities but can also be a sign of cancer. This challenges the diagnostic evaluation, making it d...
Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children. Its 5-year survival rate exceeds 90% if diagnosed early. However, delayed care-seeking allows the disease to advance to late s...
In recent years, the incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been rapidly increasing, and thermal ablation techniques are gradually emerging as alternative therapies for PTC. The aim of this study w...
Thyroid cancer encompasses distinct histological subtypes, each potentially associated with unique metabolic characteristics. However, the comprehensive metabolic reprogramming underlying these malignancies re...
This study aims to investigate the predictive value and optimal threshold of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) for neoadjuvant treatment response and long-term prognosis in breast cancer patients.
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker for insulin resistance (IR), has recently been implicated in the development of multiple cancer types. However, its relationship with the pathological i...
Therapy with radiotherapy in the head and neck, can be associated with gonadal damage in male survivors of cancer. To the authors’s knowledge the effect of treatments on testicular reproductive and endocrine f...
When children are diagnosed with cancer, their parents often face psychological challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression, impacting both their quality of life and the child’s ...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited effective treatment options, contributing to its high mortality of rate. Radiotherapy has shown effect in converting PDAC from a...
