Article Abstract

Objective: To describe age-specific cervical cancer incidence rates based on demographic and clinical characteristics.

Methods: Women with cervical cancer in the SEER program were grouped into 3 age categories. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and incidence rates were obtained for each age group.

Results: Older women (≥65 years) had higher incidence rates of cervical cancer than women <65 years with the highest rates in black women ≥75 years. Older black women had more adverse factors at diagnosis than similarly aged white and younger black women. There was a higher incidence rate of cervical cancer in women with lower socioeconomic status (SES), with the highest rates in older black women. However, the incidence rates were similar for older black women regardless of SES.

Conclusion: Older black have the highest cervical cancer incidence rates, regardless of SES, suggesting an age and race disparity when compared to younger and white women.

Purpose: The fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women is cervical cancer. Though treatment of early-stage cervical cancer is often effective, middle and advanced stage cervical cancer is hard to treat and prone to recurrence. We sought to explore the mechanism underlying cervical cancer progression to identify new therapeutic approaches.

Background: Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cervical cancer (CC), and extensive studies have provided important information for translational and clinical oncology. Here we sought to determine metabolic association with molecular aberrations, telomere maintenance and outcomes in CC.

Methods: RNA sequencing data from TCGA cohort of CC was analyzed for their metabolic gene expression profile and consensus clustering was then performed to classify tumors into different groups/subtypes.

The genus is a heterogenous group of commensal and pathogenic bacteria. Members of this genus are classified into two major groups, the pyogenic group and the viridans group streptococci (VGS). VGS are frequently found as normal members of the human microbiome and are regarded as commensals.

SLC16A3 (MCT4) expression in tumor immunity and Metabolism: Insights from pan-cancer analysis.

Biochem Biophys Rep

June 2025

The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: SLC16A3, a highly expressed H + -coupled symporter, facilitates lactate transport via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), contributing to acidosis. Although SLC16A3 has been implicated in tumor development, its role in tumor immunity remains unclear.

Methods: A pan-cancer analysis was conducted using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, and Genotype-Tissue Expression projects.

Introduction: There are no reports of patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. We report the case of a patient who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and colon reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy using the mesenteric approach.

Case Presentation: A 71-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer.
