Malignancy is characterized by damage to several vital organs, and utilizing chemotherapy as a treatment option can have toxic effects on healthy body tissues. Kidney function is commonly compromised by cancer and chemotherapy. These effects can be pre-renal, intrarenal, or postrenal. Tumor lysis syndrome and electrolyte disturbances are also common in this group of patients. Etiologies of this dysfunction are poorly understood; therefore, careful monitoring and management of renal function are required in such cases. This narrative review aimed to highlight some of the common renal abnormalities among patients receiving cancer and chemotherapy.

Histone arginine methylation by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is crucial for transcriptional regulation and is implicated in cancers. Despite their therapeutic potential, some PRMTs present challenges as drug targets due to their context-dependent activities. Here, we demonstrate that hypoxia triggers the rapid condensation of PRMT2, which is essential for its histone H3R8 asymmetric dimethylation (H3R8me2a) activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the techniques and complications of enlarged uterine extraction during minimally invasive surgery for uterine malignancy. The electronic medical record was queried for patients with uterine malignancy and enlarged uterus (≥ 250 g) who underwent primary hysterectomy with laparoscopic or robotic approach. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables.

Neurotoxicity is a common and potentially severe adverse effect from conventional and novel cancer therapy. The mechanisms that underlie clinical symptoms of central and peripheral nervous system injury remain incompletely understood. For conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy, direct toxicities to brain structures and neurovascular damage may result in myelin degradation and impaired neurogenesis, which eventually translates into delayed neurodegeneration accompanied by cognitive symptoms.

Background: Docetaxel is the most common chemotherapy regimen for several neoplasms, including advanced OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Unfortunately, chemoresistance leads to relapse and adverse disease outcomes.
Methods: We performed CRISPR-based kinome screening to identify potential players of Docetaxel resistance.
