New breast cancer biomarkers have been sought for better tumor characterization and treatment. Among these putative markers, there is Biglycan (BGN). BGN is a class I small leucine-rich proteoglycan family of proteins characterized by a protein core ...

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most prevalent form of malignancy among all thyroid cancers arising from follicular cells. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a non-invasive method regar...
Homologous recombination DNA-repair deficiency (HRD) is becoming a well-recognized marker of platinum salt and polyADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor chemotherapies in ovarian and breast cancers. While large-scale screening for HRD using genomic markers...
Early diagnosis of lung cancer to increase the survival rate, which is currently at a low range of mid-30%, remains a critical need. Despite this, multi-omics data have rarely been applied to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosis. We developed...
BACKGROUND: Glycolysis-related genes as prognostic markers in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is still unclear. We hope to explore the relationship between glycolytic pathway genes and MPM prognosis by constructing prognostic risk models through...
Immunotherapy targeting immune checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), has shown impressive outcomes in many clinical trials but only 20%-40% of patients benefit from it. Utilizing Combined Positive Score (CPS) to evaluat...
Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) has been recently adopted for breast cancer as a predictive biomarker for immunotherapies. The cost, time, and variability of PD-L1 quantification by immunohistochemistry (IHC) are a challenge. In contrast, hematoxyl...

Identification of novel non-invasive biomarkers is critical for the early diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), especially for the accurate classification of pulmonary nodule. Here, a multiplexed assay is developed on an optimized nanoparticle-bas...

Invasive breast carcinomas are routinely tested for HER2 using immunohistochemistry (IHC), with reflex in situ hybridization (ISH) for those scored as equivocal (2+). ISH testing is expensive, time-consuming, and not universally available. In this st...
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest disease, with a five-year overall survival rate of just 11%. The pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed with early screening have a median overall survival of nearly ten years, compared with 1.5 years for those not di...
