Expression of microRNAs of C19MC in Different Histological Types of Testicular Germ Cell Tumour
Conclusion: miRNAs of C19MC are overexpressed in more aggressive types of TGCT, suggesting they contribute to malignancy. Furthermore, they might serve as serum biomarkers for these types of TGCT. (Source: Cancer Genomics and Proteomics)

Dissection of the Process of Brain Metastasis Reveals Targets and Mechanisms for Molecular-based Intervention
We describe the process of penetration of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) by disseminated tumor cells, establishment of a metastatic niche, colonization and outgrowth in the brain parenchyma. Furthermore, the role of angiogenesis in colonization of the brain parenchyma, interactions of extravasated tumor cells with microglia and astrocytes, as well as their propensity for neuromimicry, is discussed. We outline targets suitable for prevention of metastasis and summarize targets suitable for treatment of established brain metastases. Finally, we highlight the implications of findings revealing druggable mutations in brain meta...

Does Post-Surgery Placement of Rectus Sheath Block Analgesia Alter the Oxidative Stress Biomarker 8-OHdG Concentrations: A Randomised Trial of Patients with Cancer and Benign Disease
Conclusion: The results suggest that the placement of RSB analgesia does not significantly alter the oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG concentrations in patients with benign disease or cancer patients. A new finding with possible clinical relevance is a significant inverse correlation between the individual plasma values of the hs-CRP and 8-OHdG in patients with benign disease and cancer.

The Significance of Proteomic Biomarkers in Male Breast Cancer
Breast cancer in men (MBC) is an uncommon malignancy and accounts for only 1% of all diagnosed breast cancers. By using genomic and transcriptomic approaches, researchers have been able to expand our insight into the genetic basis of breast cancer, by providing new biomarkers. We currently know that gene analysis by itself does not show the complete picture. Along with the genomic approach, proteomics are crucial for the improvement of breast cancer diagnosis, sub-classification, for predicting response to different treatment modalities and for predicting prognosis. There are great challenges in identifying discriminatory ...
