    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 649-663, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.027640

    Abstract All over the world, the most common malignancy in women is breast cancer. Breast cancer is also a significant factor of death in women. In 2020, approximately 2.3 million cases of breast cancer were newly diagnosed in women globally, and approximately 685,000 people died. Breast cancer incidence varies by region around the world, but it is all increasing. According to the current morbidity and mortality trend of breast cancer, it is estimated that by 2030, the number of incidence and deaths of breast cancer will reach 2.64 million and 1.7 million, respectively. The age-standardized incidence rate was 66.4/100,000 in developed… More >

    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 613-648, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.027545

    Abstract The incidence and mortality of lung cancer rank top three of all cancers worldwide. Accounting for 85% of the total number of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important factor endangering human health. Recently, targeted therapies against driver mutations and epigenetic alterations have made encouraging advances that benefit NSCLC patients. Druggable driver mutations, which mainly occur in EGFR, KRAS, MET, HER2, ALK, ROS1, RET and BRAF, have been identified in more than a quarter of NSCLC patients. A series of highly selective mutant targeting inhibitors, such as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and KRAS inhibitors, have been well… More >

    Multiple Recurrence of Primary Orbital Synovial Sarcoma: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

    Yi Wu, Yujiao Wang, Weimin He*

    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 927-935, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.026720

    Abstract Synovial sarcoma (SS) is typically an aggressive malignant soft tissue tumor that mostly affects adolescents and young adults. It is extremely rare in orbit and carries a high risk of recurrence and metastasis, posing a challenge to ophthalmologists in diagnosing and managing. We present two primary orbital synovial sarcoma cases with unilateral exophthalmos and limited motility. Both male patients underwent reoperation in our hospital since tumor recurrence; the pathologic diagnoses were biphasic type and occult type, respectively. Both cases were positive for EMA and CK, and SOX-9 and INI-1 were newly discovered immune markers. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH)… More >

    Chaoying Liu1,#, Xinfeng Yang2,#, Ye Wang2,#, Keyu Wu2, Siqiang Li2, Gailing Wang2, Yun Li2, Chuanfeng Li2, Mingcheng Wang2, Enzhong Li2,*

    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 679-691, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.025705

    Abstract A cell is the basic unit of life, and death is inevitable for any cell. However, cancer cells that deviate from the normal track can resist death and survive. Ferroptosis is recently discovered as a modulated cell death different from other known forms of cell death in morphology, biochemistry, and genetics. It is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation regulated by various metabolic pathways. The incidence and mortality of genitourinary system cancer have been increasing recently. Although clinical practice therapy techniques have improved, no plan with a positive prognosis has been identified. For the therapy of cancer, ferroptosis opens up new… More >
