Oncotarget: Neuroendocrine carcinoma of uterine cervix findings shown by MRI

 Oncotarget recently published "Neuroendocrine carcinoma of uterine cervix findings shown by MRI for staging and survival analysis – Japan multicenter study" which reported that to investigate neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix cases for MRI features and staging, as well as pathological correlations and survival.

In 50 patients who underwent a radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy without neoadjuvant chemotherapy, intrapelvic T staging by MRI overall accuracy was 88.0% with reference to pathology staging, while patient-based sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for metastatic pelvic lymph node detection was 38.5%, 100%, and 83.3%, respectively.

Three-year progression-free and overall survival rates for FIGO I, II, III, and IV were 64.3% and 80.9%, 50% and 64.3%, 0% and 0%, and 0% and 0%, respectively.

Sixty-two patients with histologically surgery-proven uterine cervical NEC were enrolled.

The Oncotarget author's findings show that MRI is reliable for T staging of cervical NEC.

Metabolism of Breast Cancer Cells Exploited by Amino Acids

Researchers from Germany starved breast cancer cells of amino acids, including methionine, and exploited their dependency on the amino acid transporter SLC6A14. 3D Illustration of a chain of amino acids 3D Illustration of a chain of amino acids Cancerous tumors are greedy invaders. In order to sustain their signature high rate of growth, proliferation, and to increase their metabolic capacity, tumor cells demand more nutrients from the body, such as glucose and amino acids. One way that tumor cells elevate this intake of nutrients is by increasing the expression of genes that encode amino acid transporters. This knowledge provided new potential therapeutic targets for the authors of the cover paper for Oncotarget’s Vol 11, Issue #48. “Targeting tumor metabolism has been explored as a strategy to inhibit tumor growth and proliferation due to the elevated metabolic requirements of cancer cells compared to their normal counterparts [1].” Researchers from Germany organized the study, “

When people speak of modern medicine, accuracy plays one of the most important roles and human lives are directly dependent on it. Likewise, any researches pertaining to medicine are necessary to meet the top standards. The issue today is that any conclusions of researches can be shared online and used as a reference without being adequately checked and approved. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny of Oncotarget clearly understood this issue and attempted to develop an alternative solution. That’s how a weekly oncology-focused research journal named “Oncotarget” has been established back in 2010. The key principle of this journal is based on Altmetric scores that are used as a quality measure. That allows both readers and authors to quality-check publications with Altmetric Article Reports that create “real-time feedback containing data summary related to a particular publication". Oncotarget website demonstrates a full publications list with corresponding scores above 100 as well as
