Article Abstract

Previously considered "housekeeping" genes, small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are increasingly understood to have wide-ranging functions in cancer, yet their role in metastasis has been less well studied. Here, we identify the snoRNA Snord67 as a regulator of lymph node (LN) metastasis in breast cancer. Snord67 expression is enriched in LN metastases in an immune-competent mouse model of female breast cancer. In an orthotopic breast cancer model, loss of Snord67 decreases LN metastasis. In a model of lymphatic metastasis, Snord67 loss decreases LN tumor growth and distant metastases. In breast cancer cell lines, Snord67 knockout results in loss of targeted 2'-O-methylation on U6 small nuclear RNA, as well as widespread changes in splicing. Together, these results demonstrate that Snord67 regulates splicing and promotes the growth of LN metastases and subsequent spread to distant metastases. SnoRNA-guided modifications of the spliceosome and regulation of splicing may represent a potentially targetable pathway in cancer.

Diagnosis and management of thyroid nodule.

Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes

October 2025

Department of Surgery, American Mission Hospital, Manama, Bahrain.

Purpose Of Review: To review the current medical evidence in the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules.

Recent Findings: The widespread use of imaging modalities in recent years has led to frequent discovery of incidental thyroid nodules. These nodules are mostly benign (over 90%), hence precise insight in evaluating nodules of concern and following up other nodules is important to avoid unnecessary surgeries and its complications.

Background: Total mastectomy for breast cancer is an impactful procedure, and breast reconstruction plays a crucial role for women diagnosed with the disease.

Objectives: The objective of our study is to compare satisfaction, morbidity, and timelines of two breast reconstruction techniques after breast cancer: breast prosthesis and exclusive lipofilling.

Methods: This is a comparative, retrospective, unicentric study on patients who underwent total mastectomy between May 2014 and May 2020.

FTOregulated mA modification of primiR139 represses papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasis.

Zhong Nan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban

May 2025

Department of Information Network Center, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha 410013, China.

Objectives: Increasing detection of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. N6-methyladenosine (mA)-mediated microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation plays a critical role in tumor metastasis and progression. However, the functional role of mA-miRNAs in PTC remains unclear.

Communication is a salient aspect of coping with cancer. Research suggests that young adult cancer survivors may experience unique challenges, including social isolation, fertility and family planning concerns, dating and marriage, and financial challenges. Little is known, however, about the types of communicative work young breast cancer survivors face.
