Article Abstract
In a very simplistic way, the human body has an extremely complex system of cell division that determines the growth of new cells and the death of senescent cells. However, the organism is not perfect and sometimes fails. In the course of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, including nutritional factors, oncological disease can arise. Of course, no food alone has properties capable of preventing a tumor. In recent years there has been an increase in the number of new cases of cancer. Malnutrition in cancer patients is a consequence of the increase in inflammatory cytokines associated with cancer, metabolic alterations and concomitant inadequate availability of nutrients, due to anorexia caused by the disease and systemic treatments. Malnutrition, combined with loss of muscle mass, is very common in this group of patients and has a negative effect on the prognosis. What to expect from the doctor? It is one of the key questions in this theme.

Antithrombin-binding heparan sulfate is ubiquitously expressed in epithelial cells and suppresses pancreatic tumorigenesis.

3-O-sulfation of heparan sulfate (HS) is the key determinant for binding and activation of Antithrombin III (AT). This interaction is the basis of heparin treatment to prevent thrombotic events and excess coagulation. Antithrombin-binding HS (HSAT) is expressed in human tissues, but is thought to be expressed in the subendothelial space, mast cells, and follicular fluid.

Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.
Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.
Management of ocular toxicity in patients with gynecologic cancer receiving novel antibody-drug conjugates: a narrative review.

Ophthalmology Unit, Cannizzaro Hospital, 95126, Catania, Italy.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising therapeutic approach in gynecologic cancers, particularly ovarian and cervical malignancies. Agents such as mirvetuximab soravtansine, and tisotumab vedotin, targeting folate receptor alpha and tissue factor, respectively, reported clinical efficacy in patients with limited options. However, their use is associated with ocular toxicities, including keratopathy, blurred vision, and dry eye, which may impact adherence and quality of life.

Introduction: Epigenetic changes are important modulators of gene expression. The histone acetyltransferase gene non-derepressible 5 (Gcn5) is emerging as a pivotal epigenetic player in metabolism and cancer, yet its role in obesity and cardiovascular disease remains elusive.
Aims: To investigate Gcn5 role in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction.
