• Deubiquitinases as novel therapeutic targets in colorectal cancer

  Noor Al Shukri, Razik Bin Abdul Momin

  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality and is the third most prevalent malignant tumor in the world. In recent years, the key role of protein post-translational modifications, especially ubiquitination and deubiquitination modifications, in tumorigenesis and progression has gradually been revealed. Deuubiquitinating Enzymes (DUBs) play an important role in...

• Innovative and future approaches for ovarian cancer detection and evaluation: a comprehensive review

  Fomukong Tasinda Raphael, Simon Nabirye

  Gynecological malignancies, characterized by their aggressive nature and tendency to recur, are associated with poorer outcomes and suboptimal responses to available treatment modalities. Ovarian cancer (OC) is frequently present at advanced stages, wherein therapeutic resistance, angiogenesis, recurrence, and metastatic spread significantly affect patient survival rates. The primary therapeutic a...

• Liquid biopsy: an emerging field with new opportunities for cancer diagnosis and prognosis

  Dhahiri Saidi Mashausi, Semukunzi Herve

  Cancer grades among the deadliest diseases, globally causing the death of a over million people each year. Early diagnosis has been considered ideal for efficient treatment as during later stages chances of treatment become limited. However, gold standard tissue biopsy has various limitation for instance, late-stage diagnosis and its intrusive operation making it unfit for repeated sampling. Scien...

• Current perspectives on glioblastoma treatment synergies between therapies and delivery systems

  Debanjan Das

  In adults, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is considered the most widespread and virulent malignancy of the central nervous system (CNS). This formidable brain tumor stands out as one of the most lethal types within the CNS cancer classification. Despite ongoing advancements in modality therapy, a curative solution remains largely unattainable. Consequently, the imperative to develop innovative syst...

• Cellular senescence and tumor dormancy at the crossroads of therapy resistance, metastasis and cancer stemness

  Qurrat Ul Ain

  Senescence is irreversible cell cycle arrest that results from therapy-induced stress such as DNA damage. It was initially thought to be a tumor-suppressive mechanism, but now getting attention to contribute to tumor progression and therapy resistance through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME), SASP can establish conditions conducive t...

• Molecular mechanism of tumor microenvironment and recent approaches for the immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer

  Ayesha Fazal Nawaz, Muhammad Arif

  One of the most aggressive cancers, pancreatic cancer (PC) frequently has a dismal prognosis. The only known treatment for this illness is surgery, which is usually followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. However, only a tiny percentage of patients with resectable and non-metastatic tumors can receive surgery. In the future, more patients may be eligible for surgery thanks to customized neoadjuvant the...

• Current approaches to the management of neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC): a review

  Mohsen S. Ali

  Neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC), an infrequent malignancy, accounts for 2–5% of all invasive breast cancer cases. The minimal occurrence of these tumours has resulted in knowledge primarily acquired from unique case reports or short retrospective studies. NEBC is diagnosed by identifying morphological characteristics related to gastrointestinal tracts and lung neuroendocrine tumors and neur...

• Breast cancer stem cells origins and the memory stem cells: clinical significance of biomarkers and the active therapeutic approaches

  Muhammad Waseem Akram, Bai Chen

  Despite recent improvements in diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer (BC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women. In this complex disease, breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a small but significant subset of different cancer cells with the ability to proliferate and self-renew. According to an increasing amount of studies, BCSCs are essential for breast cancer me...
