05). NSD patients had a significantly lower Disease Free Survival and Overall Survival (all p < 0.0001), even after adjusting by demographic, clinic-pathological, tumor, and treatment characteristics.

SD tumors were associated with better long-term outcomes, even after multiple adjustments. Our results confirm the advantages for the target population to participate in the screening programs and comply with their therapeutic pathways.

Metabolic reprogramming is one of the main reasons that GC is difficult to treat in various environments. Particularly, abnormal glycolytic activity is the most common way of metabolism reprogramming in cancer cells. Numerous studies have shown that microRNAs play important roles in reprogramming glucose metabolism. Here, we found a microRNA-miR-365a-3p, was significantly downregulated in GC according to bioinformatics analysis. Low expression of miR-365a-3p correlated with poor prognosis of GC patients. Overexpression of miR-365a-3p in GC cells significantly inhibited cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. GPCR peptide Notably, miR-365a-3p induced downregulation of HELLS through binding to its 3' untranslated region (UTR). Additionally, we found that miR-365a-3p suppressed aerobic glycolysis by inhibiting HELLS/GLUT1 axis. Lastly, we shown that overexpression of miR-365a-3p significantly inhibited tumor growth in nude mice. Conversely, Reconstituted the expression of HELLS rescued the suppressive effects of miR-365a-3p. Our data collectively indicated that miR-365a-3p functioned as a tumor suppressor in GC through downregulating HELLS. Therefore, targeting of the novel miR-365a-3p/HELLS axis could be a potentially effective therapeutic approach for GC.

To investigate the association between the presence of female-specific tumors and aggressive clinicopathological features in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).

This study retrospectively analyzed 9,822 female cases between June 2008 and December 2017. Odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Findings were stratified by age and body mass index (BMI) in different models.

1443/9822 (14.7%) patients with PTC had a female-specific tumor. Presence of a benign breast mass was an independent risk factor for a primary PTC lesion > 1cm in diameter (adjusted OR = 1.446, 95% CI 1.136-1.840,

= 0.003), but a protective factor against extrathyroidal extension of PTC (adjusted OR = 0.650, 95%CI 0.500-0.845,

= 0.001). Presence of a benign uterine mass was an independent risk factor for multifocal PTC (adjusted OR = 1.305, 95%CI 1.113-1.531,

= 0.001). Analyses stratified by age and BMI revealed the presence of a benign breast mass was an independent risk factor for a primary PTC lese more personalized treatment plans when encountering patients with PTC and female-specific benign tumors.

1 cm in diameter and a protective factor against extrathyroidal extension of PTC, while the presence of a benign uterine mass was an independent risk factor for multifocal PTC. Data from this study may help surgeons propose more personalized treatment plans when encountering patients with PTC and female-specific benign tumors.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has been described to markedly improve patient survival. However, reports describing the antitumor therapeutic efficacy and safety of ICIs in patients with autoantibodies are scarce.

This study examined the efficacy and feasibility of ICIs in antinuclear antibody (ANA)-positive patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). An ANA titer greater than 140 and 180 was defined as positive and high, respectively. Patients who were treated with ICIs at Saitama Medical University, International Medical Center between January 2016 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.

One hundred and nineteen of the 266 patients (44.7%) who received nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab had positive ANA titers. Their median age was 69 (range, 39-84) years. The overall response rate of the ANA-positive patients was 35.9% (37/103), which was not less than that of the ANA-negative group. The median progression-free survival in the ANA-positive group was 6.3 months versus 4.3 months in the ANA-negative group (

= 0.08). Twenty-seven ANA-positive patients (10.2%) had high ANA titers. However, ICI efficacy was not decreased in these patients. Regardless of the cutoff of ANA titers (140 or 180), the rate of patients who experienced adverse events were not significantly different between the two groups.

The administration of ICIs to ANA-positive patients has clinical benefits. The prevalence of adverse events in the ANA-positive group was not higher than that in the ANA-negative group.

This study systematically investigated the expression of SOX17 and Notch receptors in CRPC tissues and cells in vitro, showing that consistent clinical CRPC, SOX17/Notch1, and Notch4 were responsible for enzalutamide resistance in CRPC cells. The γ secretase inhibitors, BMS-708163, GSI-IX, PF-3084014, and RO4929097 abrogated the enzalutamide resistance by inhibiting Notch1 or/and Notch4 in vitro, with GSI-IX and RO4929097 being more effective than BMS-708163 and PF-3084014 in reliving bone metastasis in vivo. In conclusion, the Notch1 and Notch4 inhibitors GSI-IX and RO4929097 are promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of CRPC.
