In our article, we compiled the cancer incidence, mortality, and survival data of Türkiye. We presented incidence and mortality-related data from the Global Cancer Observatory, and survival-related data from CONCORD-3. Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) were excluded from interpretations for all indicators. The number of new cancer cases in Türkiye with a population of more than 80 million was estimated as 227,310 people in total, 128,802 in men and 98,508 in women. In the same year, 125,788 people were estimated that died due to cancer, of which 78,633 were men and 47,155 were women. The age-standardized incidence rate per 100,000 (ASIR, world standard population) of all cancers except for NMSC was estimated to be 225.6 (283.0 for men and 184.0 for women). The five most common cancers were breast cancer with an ASIR of 46.6, following prostate cancer (ASIR = 42.5), lung cancer (ASIR = 40.0), colorectal cancer (ASIR = 20.6), and thyroid cancer (ASIR = 14.3). The age-standardized mortality rate per 100,000 (ASMR, world standard population) of all cancers was estimated to be 119.9 (171.0 for men, 81.1 for women). The top 5 most common cancers for both sexes and all age groups were lung, breast, colorectal, prostate, and thyroid cancers, respectively. On the other hand, the top 5 most common cancer-caused deaths for both sexes and all age groups were lung, colorectal, stomach, pancreas, and breast cancers, respectively. The top 5 cancers with the worst 5-year age-standardized net survival rate for the sites of cancers in Türkiye between 2010 and 2014 were as follows: pancreas 10.4%, lung 14.9%, liver 15.9%, esophagus 19.0% and stomach 24.9%. Not only existing and increasing potential behavioral and possible environmental/occupational and metabolic risk factors over time are a public health threat for Türkiye, but also some unchangeable factors e.g. the aging population and the prolongation of life expectancy are contributing to increased cancer incidence. The prevalences of tobacco use and obesity are alarming. Policies to combat risk factors should be strengthened, especially the implementation of legal regulation regarding tobacco control in the field to achieve control of tobacco-related cancers. Incidence, mortality, and survival data are also considered, and preventive strategies with public health principles should be strengthened. In addition, population-based cancer registries and research on cancer epidemiology based on the data released from these registries should be supported.","PeriodicalId":280576,"journal":{"name":"Basic & Clinical Cancer Research","volume":"138 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138982904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to systemic nature of disease, chemotherapy plays an important role in treatment of invasive breast cancer. Relapse (loco-regional or metastatic) is not uncommon in this disease. Both eribulin and capecitabine are effective as single agent in relapsed disease. But in combination, efficacy of these two chemotherapeutic medicines are not properly known. In this single-Institutional retrospective study, Eribulin and capecitabine have been assessed as combination chemotherapy in patients with relapsed breast cancer. \u0000Materials and methods: Patients with relapsed breast cancer, having ER and/or PR positive, Her-2/neu negative or triple negative status and received eribulin alongwith capecitabine, were included in our study. Primary objective of this study was to assess response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary objective was toxicity assessment. \u0000Results: 48 patients were included in our study. Median age of patients was 56 years. Thirty six (75%) patients had ER and/or PR positive status and twelve (25%) patients had ER/PR negative status. Five (10.4%) patients achieved complete response (CR). Thirty two (66.7%) patients achieved partial response (PR). Disease was stable (SD) in nine (18.8%) patients. Two (4.2%) patients suffered from progressive disease (PD). Median Progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.15 months. Mean of PFS of patients was 10.72 (95% CI- 9.72-11.72) months. Median overall survival (OS) was 18.15 months. Mean of overall survival of patients was 19.56 (95% CI- 17.9-21.22) months. Nineteen (39.6%) and three (6.2%) patients experienced grade 2 and grade 3 anemia respectively. Eighteen (37.5%) and two (4.2%) patients suffered from grade 2 and grade 3 neutropenia respectively. One patients experienced grade 2 thrombocytopenia. Nineteen (39.6%) patients experienced grade 2 diarrhoea. One patients suffered from grade 3 diarrhoea. Palmo-plantor erythrodysesthesia had been experienced by eight (16.7%) patients. Six (12.5%) patients suffered from grade 2 neuropathy. Two (4.2%) patients experienced grade 3 neuropathy. Fatigue had been experienced by 19 (39.6%) patients. \u0000Conclusion: Eribulin alongwith capectabine can be used in patients with relapsed invasive breast cancer, in whom anthracycline and taxane have previously been used; with response rate and survival better than either single agent chemotherapy. This regimen is important particularly for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), where option for chemotherapy is limited.","PeriodicalId":280576,"journal":{"name":"Basic & Clinical Cancer Research","volume":"146 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138982530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, vanadium oxide 3-methoxy salen complex was produced and its anticancer effects were evaluated against HeLa and McCoy cell lines. \u0000Methods: Schiff bases produced from equivalents of Vanadyl acetylacetonate [VO(acac)2] in methanol were used to make a vanadium oxide 3-methoxy salen complex. Then, The antioxidant property of compound, cell viability and cytotoxicity assay, DNA fragmentation analysis and determination of the apoptosis pathway genes were evaluated. \u0000Results: The result showed that the compound with an RC50 value of 126.3 µM demonstrated considerable free radical scavenging activity. The combination strongly suppressed the viability and proliferation of HeLa and McCoy cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 213 µM and 175 µM, respectively. When the viability and cytotoxicity values of the treated cells were compared, it was discovered that the cells had died of apoptosis, which was validated by DNA fragmentation analysis. Capspase 3, Bcl2 antagonist/killer, and Bcl2 associated X protein (Bax) gene expression levels all increased significantly in a quantitative investigation of apoptotic pathway genes, with 2-CT values of 2.36, 2.63, and 3.18, respectively. \u0000Conclusion: In HeLa and McCoy malignant cell lines, lower quantities of the complex caused programmed cell death.

The increasing frequency of oral carcinomas and their late-stage appearance is a major worldwide health concern. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cancer growth and progression, as the available relevant data indicate. However, no information is available about the parts miR-7113-3p and miR-6721-5p taken in OSCC. In the present study, the expression of MAP2K1, miR-7113-3p, and miR-6721-5p was examined to determine their possible biological role in the advancement of oral squamous cell carcinoma. \u0000Methods: Quantitative Real-Time PCR was applied to investigate the mRNA expression of MAP2K1, miR-7113-3p, and miR-6721-5p in fresh frozen OSCC tissues and adjacent normal fresh frozen tissues of 30 patients and then, the relationship between MAP2K1 Expression and clinical parameters was studied. \u0000Results: MAP2K1 expression dramatically increased in tumor tissues compared to the normal tissues, while miR7113-3p and miR-6721-5p expression significantly decreased. Furthermore, a statistical correlation of p=0.04 was also observed between increased MAP2K1 expression and Perineural invasion. In addition, the downregulation of miR-7113-3p was positively correlated with the overexpression of MAP2K1 (p=0.0218), and a negative correlation was observed between the downregulation of miR-6721-5p and overexpression of MAP2K1 (p=0.7771). \u0000Conclusion: Based on the findings, miR-7113-3p, and miR-6721-5p might be prospective biomarkers for OSCC patients and can be utilized to detect OSCC at an early stage of its diagnosis.
