Article Abstract

Background: Hypoxia plays a crucial role in malignant tumor formation, primarily mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Despite extensive research, the complexities and prognostic implications of the EGLN gene family (EGLN1, EGLN2, EGLN3) in cancers remain unclear.

Methods: Utilizing public databases (TCGA, GTEx, TARGET, GEO) and bioinformatics tools, a comprehensive analysis of EGLN genes across various cancer types was conducted. Gene ex-pression, mutation data, stemness scores, and clinical information were integrated to evaluate the mutation landscape, expression levels, and prognostic values of EGLNs. Enrichment and pathway analyses explored EGLN-associated biological processes and functional networks. ssGSEA con-structed EGLN scores for prognostic evaluation. Colocalization analysis combined eQTL and GWAS data to investigate genetic variations in cervical cancer. Immunohistochemistry validated EGLN expression in cervical cancer tissues.

Results: EGLN genes showed differential expression across cancer types. EGLN1 overexpres-sion was associated with worse survival in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), and neuroblastoma (NB), while EGLN3 was linked to poor survival in CESC, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and kidney cancers. EGLNs also demonstrated varied roles in modulating tumor immune activity and heterogeneity.

Conclusion: This study provides new insights into EGLN biology and identifies EGLN1 as a potential biomarker for cervical cancer.

Objective: The cachexia index (CXI) demonstrates potential as both a diagnostic tool for cachexia and a prognostic tool for survival in cancer. However, CXI's predictive value has not been verified in cervical cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic value of the CXI in patients with cervical cancer treated with radiotherapy.

The European Council recommends adopting risk-based screening when relevant. In triaging HPV-positive women, it can be an effective strategy to reduce overtreatment and referral to colposcopy. HPV genotyping and p16/ki67 expression may allow a better risk stratification than cytology.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) bears the highest global burden of cervical cancer. Living with the disease is a complex experience, leading to significant changes across various biopsychosocial dimensions, which in turn affect the quality of life of affected women.

Aims: This review aimed to synthesize available scientific evidence on the life experiences of women diagnosed with cervical cancer in SSA in order to generate valuable insights into the care of the affected population.

This study explores effective treatment methods for chronic secondary lymphedema after radical cervical cancer surgery combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy. In cases where conservative treatment was ineffective, we investigated whether multiple injections of indocyanine green can effectively improve the outcomes of lymphatic-venous anastomosis under microscopy. Preoperative lymphatic imaging was used to localize functional vessels, guiding distal left lower limb lymphatic reconstruction.

Background: Hispanic/Latina women in the United States have high rates of cervical cancer and little is known regarding how sociocultural factors might be related to their cervical cancer prevention behaviors.

Purpose: Two studies examined correlates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation, HPV vaccine completion, ever screening for cervical cancer, and being up to date with screening among screening- and vaccine-eligible Hispanic/Latina women.

Methods: Study 1 examined sociodemographic correlates of these behaviors using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
