Multi-locus inherited neoplasia alleles syndromes in cancer: implications for clinical practice
The popularity of multi-gene testing has identified more families with two or more pathogenic variants (PV) in cancer predisposition genes, also kn…
Exome-based cancer predisposition gene testing can provide a genetic diagnosis for individuals with heterogeneous tumor phenotypes
The development of multiple primary tumors is one of the hallmarks of hereditary cancer. The phenotypic presentation of individuals with multiple p…
Thyroid hormones inhibit tumor progression and enhance the antitumor activity of lenvatinib in hepatocellular carcinoma via reprogramming glucose metabolism
Thyroid hormones (THs) dysfunctions have been demonstrated to be associated with the risk of developing different types of cancers. The role of THs…
Baicalein inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in brain glioma cells by downregulating the LGR4-EGFR pathway
Patients diagnosed with brain glioma have a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. LGR4 is overexpressed in brain glioma and involved in t…
SMARCB1-driven EGFR-GLI1 epigenetic alterations in lung cancer progression and therapy are differentially modulated by MEOX2 and GLI-1
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with genes such as SMARCB1, MEOX2, and GLI-1 playing significant roles …
Emerging roles of prohibitins in cancer: an update
The prohibitin (PHB) family, including PHB1 and its homolog PHB2, is ubiquitously located in different cellular compartments and plays roles in fun…
Regulatory non-coding somatic mutations as drivers of neuroblastoma
Emerging evidence suggests that non-coding somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in cis-regulatory elements (CREs) contribute to cancer …
