est model that we constructed based on tumor markers could strongly predict the survival risk. Higher TMRS was associated with worse DFS and OS both in stage I-III and N

TNBC patients.

Our study indicated that pretreatment levels of serum CEA, CA125, and CA211 had independent prognostic significance for TNBC patients. Both lasso Cox model and random survival forest model that we constructed based on tumor markers could strongly predict the survival risk. Higher TMRS was associated with worse DFS and OS both in stage I-III and N0-N1 TNBC patients.

Bone metastasis (BM) is one of the common sites of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and patients with BM have a poorer prognosis. We aimed to develop two nomograms to quantify the risk of BM and predict the prognosis of RCC patients with BM.

We reviewed patients with diagnosed RCC with BM in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2010 to 2015. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent factors to predict BM in RCC patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to determine independent prognostic factors for BM in RCC patients. Two nomograms were established and evaluated by calibration curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

The study included 37,554 patients diagnosed with RCC in the SEER database, 537 of whom were BM patients. BM's risk factors included sex, tumor size, liver metastasis, lung metastasis, brain metastasis, N stage, T stage, histologic type, and grade in RCC patients. Currently, independent prognostic factors for RCC with BM included grade, histologic type, N stage, surgery, brain metastasis, and lung metastasis. The calibration curve, ROC curve, and DCA showed good performance for diagnostic and prognostic nomograms.

Nomograms were established to predict the risk of BM in RCC and the prognosis of RCC with BM, separately. These nomograms strengthen each patient's prognosis-based decision making, which is critical in improving the prognosis of patients.

Due to failure to perform routine tests such as endoscopy, it is usually diagnosed in the invasive stages. Therefore, finding diagnostic biomarkers in blood can help to speed up the initial diagnosis of cancer. This study aimed to find appropriate diagnostic biomarkers in the extracellular matrix of noninvasive to invasive stages of gastric cancer patients, using bioinformatics analysis. First, we selected the appropriate datasets from the GEO database. We evaluated the genes' signaling pathways, biological processes, and molecular functions. More accurately, we assessed the genes, in which their protein products are released into the extracellular matrix; we evaluated their protein network. Then, we validated the candidate proteins in the GEPIA and TCGA databases. The extracellular matrix, tyrosine kinase receptors, and immune response pathways are effective factors, which are related to the highly expressed genes and metabolism; cell cycle pathways are also impressive on low-expression genes. 69 highly expressed proteins are released into the extracellular matrix. N6022 mouse After drawing the protein network, 5 proteins were selected as more suitable candidates for further studies. These proteins' expression significantly increases in the human samples, and the survival chart showed up to about 80% mortality in the individuals over time. With integrated bioinformatics analysis, BGN, LOX, MMP-9, SERPINE1, and TGFB1 proteins have been selected as suitable diagnostic biomarkers for noninvasive to invasive stages of gastric cancer. Further studies are needed to evaluate more precise mechanisms between these proteins.Systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is a standard treatment for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and for selected early breast cancer (EBC). In these settings, the prognostic and predictive role of Ki-67 before and after NCT is unclear. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic role of Ki-67 change in patients not achieving pathological complete response (pCR). We retrospectively analyzed data of patients who did not achieve pCR assessing Ki-67 expression pre- and post-NCT. We stratified three groups high reduction (>20%), low reduction (1-20%), and no reduction in Ki-67. These groups were correlated with clinical and pathological data by χ2 test. We estimated disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier method, and we adopted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. We selected 82 patients from a database of 143 patients, excluding those who were metastatic at diagnosis, achieved pCR, or lack data regarding Ki-67. Median age at diagnosis was 54 years (range 30-75); 51 patients were Luminal B, 10 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) enriched, and 21 triple negative. A significant correlation between high Ki-67 reduction and luminal B HER-2-negative subtype was observed (p = 0,0035). The change in Ki-67 was significantly associated with DFS (p = 0,0596) and OS (p = 0,0120), also at multivariate analysis (p = 0,0256 for DFS; p = 0,0093 for OS). In particular, as compared to patients with low/no reduction of Ki-67, those with high Ki-67 reduction (>20%) after NCT showed better survival (60% vs. 56% vs. 83% after 5 years from diagnosis, respectively; p = 0.01). In conclusion, in our study, Ki-67 change showed a significant prognostic role in breast cancer patients treated with NCT who did not achieve pCR. Crucially, Ki-67  less then  20% identifies a high-risk population that may be eligible for clinical trials with novel therapeutic interventions in adjuvant setting.

The prevalence of carcinoma of the cervix is increasing in younger women. This study aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic, pathological, and clinical features, prognosis, and treatment of women aged ≤35 years with carcinoma of the cervix (CC).

We retrospectively analysed the clinical information of 352 younger women with carcinoma of the cervix aged ≤35 years at the Gynaecological Oncology Department of Zhengzhou University People's Hospital from April 2000 to January 2018. The overall survival was evaluated with the Kaplan-Meier model, and the log-ranked analysis was compared with the univariate analysis to determine prognostic survival-related risk factors. Cox Proportional Hazards analysis was further used in analysing parameters correlated with survival after univariate analysis. A

value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. SPSS version 23.0 was used for the data analysis.

The most frequent histopathological type observed in the selected 352 younger women was squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (
