Importance: The 2013/2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology and College of American Pathologists (ASCO-CAP) guidelines for HER2 testing by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) designated an "equivocal" category (average HER2 copies per tumor cell ≥4-6 with HER2/CEP17 ratio <2.0) to be resolved as negative or positive by assessments with alternative control probes. Approximately 4% to 12% of all invasive breast cancers are characterized as HER2-equivocal based on FISH. Read More

Evidence for an association between ABO blood type and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) survival has so far been limited and conflictive. This study applied a retrospective cohort and included 627 EOC patients diagnosed at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between 2011 and 2015. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between the ABO blood type and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of EOC patients were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional regression models.

The influence of time to chemotherapy (TTC) on recurrence and survival among epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients still remains unknown. This single center retrospective cohort study was conducted on 489 EOC patients who underwent surgery followed by taxane- plus platinum-based chemotherapy in the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between 2011 and 2015. The Multivariate cox proportional regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after adjustment for potential confounders.

Most of the cancer types in general and melanoma in particular exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction leading to the Warburg effect. Our present study stemmed from the observation that human melanoma A-375 and B16 cells displayed overexpression of a novel micro-RNA, miR-2909, shown in our earlier studies to be involved in aerobic glycolysis. Consequently, our study attempts to demonstrate the role of miR-2909 in the regulation of mitochondrial function within human melanocytes. Read More

Aims: The aim of this study is to propose a set of objective criteria for GMAs that can be clinically correlated and thereby aid in the management of this entity. Read More

Purpose: To evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the differentiation of neoplastic and non-neoplastic brain lesions, on the basis of DTI parameters, fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) from the lesion (L) and the perilesional edema (PE).
Material And Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed 25 neoplastic [10 high grade gliomas (HGG), 11 metastases, 4 low grade glioma (LGG)] and 25 non-neoplastic [13 tuberculomas and 12 neurocysticercosis (NCC)] brain lesions underwent an MRI, including the DTI sequences. Fractional anisotropy from the lesion (FAL) and mean diffusivity from the lesion (MDL), as well as fractional anisotropy from the perilesional edema (FAPE), and mean diffusivity from the perilesional edema (MDPE) were calculated and quantified using region of interest (ROI) based assessment on DTI derived FA and MD parametric maps.
