Article Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a common and heterogeneous disease, of which six molecular subtypes, characterized by different biological features and clinical outcomes, were described. The identification of additional biomarkers able to further connote and distinguish the different BC subtypes is essential to improve the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic strategies in BC patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA involved in several physiological and pathological processes, including cancer development and progression. In particular, circulating miRNAs, which can be found in an adequately stable structure in serum/plasma of cancer patients, are emerging as very promising non-invasive biomarkers. Several studies have analyzed the potential role of circulating miRNAs as prognostic and therapeutic markers in BC. In the present review we describe circulating miRNAs, identified as putative biomarker in BC, with special reference to different BC molecular subtypes.

Clinical-pathological patterns and prognosis of young women with breast cancer brain metastases: a single-center retrospective study.
J Neurooncol
September 2025
Sunnybrook Research Institute, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer among women and the second leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. While the epidemiology of CNS metastases from BC has been well described, little is known about the treatment patterns and outcomes of young women < 40 years of age with BC that is metastatic to the CNS.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we identified patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the CNS who were treated at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada between 2008 and 2018.
Microvessel density as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in newly diagnosed glioblastoma: correlations with radiological features and bevacizumab efficacy.
J Neurooncol
September 2025
Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Brain and Neurosciences, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Tottori, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of microvessel density (MVD), assessed by CD34 immunohistochemistry (IHC), and its correlation with radiological features and bevacizumab (BEV) treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 41 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. MVD was quantified using CD34 IHC, and patients were stratified into low and high MVD groups according to the cutoff value determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (sensitivity, 76.
Clinical Significance of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Portal Vein of Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Anatomical Liver Resection.
Ann Surg Oncol

Department of Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently invades the portal vein, leading to early recurrence and a poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms underlying this invasion remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to detect portal vein circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using a Glypican-3-positive detection method and evaluate their prognostic significance.

Background: Immunotherapy holds significant yet underexplored potential for low-grade glioma (LGG) treatment. We therefore interrogated the role of Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group C (FANCC) as a novel immune checkpoint regulator given its spatial correlation with tumor microenvironments and clinical associations with immunosuppressive markers.
Objectives: FANCC is implicated in various tumor progressions; its role in LGG remains unexplored.
Background: Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations represent one of the most frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the prognostic significance of concurrent molecular abnormalities and clinical features in NPM1-mutated AML remains to be fully elucidated.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 adult AML patients with NPM1 mutations.
