Combination therapy for melanoma brain metastases (MM) using stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immune checkpoint-inhibition (ICI) or targeted therapy (TT) is currently of high interest. In this collective, time evolution and...
Seven undescribed guaianolide sesquiterpene lactones, millefoliumins A-G, and five known analogues were isolated from the whole plant of Achillea millefolium L. growing in Xinjiang, China. Their structures were elucidated by...
The paramedian forehead flap is considered the gold standard for nasal reconstruction following oncologic surgery. During the 21-day delay in two-stage surgery protocols, many patients report considerably reduced quality of life...
Genetic predisposition is reportedly involved in early-onset oral cancer, although the genetic basis of this cancer remains unclear. The major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) plays a crucial role in...
This study seeks to (1) demonstrate how machine learning (ML) can be used for prediction modeling by predicting the treatment patients with T1-2, N0-N1 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) receive and (2) assess the...
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that may paradoxically induce either apoptosis or cell survival. It mediates its activity through binding of TNF-receptor (TNFR) 1 or 2. TNFR1 is mainly...

Curcumin is a turmeric, antioxidative compound, well-known of its anti-cancer properties. Nowadays more and more effort is made in the field of enhancing the efficiency of the anticancer therapies. Combining the photoactive...
In a retrospective review, we identified 332 patients with 338 pathologically diagnosed primary oropharyngeal carcinomas (OPC) between January 2013 and March 2020 with known p16/HPV status from a tumor registry at Northwestern...
Overexpression of polycomb protein contributes to epigenetic repression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) ensuing in poor prognosis and aggressive phenotype. Several plant-based compounds could help prevent epigenome...
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) through STIM-gated ORAI channels governs vital cellular functions. In this context, SOCE controls cellular redox signaling and is itself regulated by redox modifications. However, the...
