The miR-184 binding-site rs8126 T>C polymorphism in TNFAIP2 is associated with risk of gastric cancer.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
TNFAIP2 is a crucial gene involved in apoptosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
in its miRNA binding sites could modulate functions of the miRNA-target genes and
thus risk of cancers. In this study, we investigated ...
Hazard-rate analysis and patterns of recurrence in early stage melanoma: moving towards a rationally designed surveillance strategy.
(PLoS One, 2013)
BACKGROUND: While curable at early stages, few treatment options exist for advanced
melanoma. Currently, no consensus exists regarding the optimal surveillance strategy
for patients after resection. The objectives of this ...
Phase II trial of upfront bevacizumab and temozolomide for unresectable or multifocal glioblastoma.
(Cancer Med, 2013-04)
Patients with unresectable glioblastomas have a poor prognosis, with median survival
of 6-10 months. We conducted a phase II trial of upfront 5-day temozolomide (TMZ)
and bevacizumab (BV) in patients with newly diagnosed ...
A phase I study of ABT-510 plus bevacizumab in advanced solid tumors.
(Cancer Med, 2013-06)
Targeting multiple regulators of tumor angiogenesis have the potential to improve
treatment efficacy. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against vascular
endothelial growth factor and ABT-510 is a synthetic analog ...
Association between a rare novel TP53 variant (rs78378222) and melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and lung cancer susceptibility in non-Hispanic Whites.
(Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2013-07)
Recently, several studies have investigated the association between a newly reported
rare functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TP53 (rs78378222) and cancer
risk, but generated inconsistent findings. The present ...
A pri-miR-218 variant and risk of cervical carcinoma in Chinese women.
(BMC cancer, 2013-01-15)
BACKGROUND: MicroRNA (miRNA)-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may compromise
miRNA binding affinity and modify mRNA expression levels of the target genes, thus
leading to cancer susceptibility. However, few ...
TGFβ1 Polymorphisms Predict Distant Metastasis-Free Survival in Patients with Inoperable Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer after Definitive Radiotherapy.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
Transforming growth factor (TGF) -β1 signaling is involved in cancer-cell metastasis.
We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at TGFβ1 were associated
with overall survival (OS) and distant metastasis-free ...
Potentially functional polymorphisms in the CASP7 gene contribute to gastric adenocarcinoma susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
BACKGROUND: Caspase 7 (CASP7) is an important regulator and executioner in the apoptosis
pathway and plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression. However, few
studies have evaluated associations between functional ...
MicroRNA variants increase the risk of HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx in never smokers.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
Both microRNAs and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection play an important role in
the development and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In addition,
microRNAs affect all facets of the immune/inflammation ...
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoter variants with risk of HPV-associated oral squamous cell carcinoma.
(Molecular cancer, 2013-07-19)
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in inflammation, immunity,
and defense against infection and clearance of human papillomavirus (HPV). Thus, genetic
variants may modulate individual susceptibility ...
