GERD—Barrett—Adenocarcinoma: Do We Have Suitable Prognostic and Predictive Molecular Markers? by Romana Illig, Eckhard Klieser, Tobias Kiesslich, Daniel Neureiter

“…The GERD-Barrett-Adenocarcinoma sequence currently lacks well-defined diagnostic, progressive, predictive, and prognostic biomarkers (i) providing an appropriate screening method identifying the presence of the disease, (ii) estimating the risk of evolving cancer, that is, the progression from Barrett’s esophagus (BE) to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), (iii) predicting the response to therapy, and (iv) indicating an overall survival—prognosis for EAC patients. Based on histomorphological findings, detailed screening and therapeutic guidelines have been elaborated, although epidemiological studies could not support the postulated increasing progression rates of GERD to BE and EAC. …”

The role of ESRP1 in solid tumor development through the regulation of CD44 splicing and EMT processes by Lili Wang, Min Zhang, Lei Ke Zhao, Xiaohan Yuan, Houyu Zhao, Yanting Liu, Yinghua Ji, Ping Lu

“…Research shows that abnormal expression of ESRP1 is closely related to the formation and development of various solid tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, and others, and is closely associated with the invasiveness, metastasis, and poor prognosis of tumors. Therefore, given ESRP1’s critical role in cancer development, it is gradually becoming a potential biomarker and therapeutic target. …”

CURRENT POSSIBILITIES OF MAGNETIC – RESONANCE IMAGING IN DETECTION OF OVARIAN CANCER by N. A. Rubtsova, E. G. Novikova, I. Yu. Sychenkova

“…Due to the lack of effective screening programs and asymptomatic course of the disease in its early stages, in the majority of cases ovarian cancer (OC) is detected in form of disseminated process, what greatly reduces the effectiveness of primary treatment and has a negative impact on the further prognosis. In connection with the above, timely diagnosis and organization of OC screening, as well as monitoring of its recurrence is a major problem for oncologists around the world.In the present literature review the opportunities of magnetic — resonance imaging (MRI) in detection of primary ovarian cancer and its recurrence are considered, the analysis of the method diagnostic efficiency based on the use of various techniques is done. …”
