MMP14 regulates cell migration and invasion through epithelial-mesenchymal transition in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) has been shown to play a significant role in several types of cancers, but little is known about the function of MMP14 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of...
Matrix Metalloproteinase 14 Overexpression Is Correlated with the Progression and Poor Prognosis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) has been identified to play a significant role in several types of cancers, but little is known about the significance of MMP14 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. The aim of this study was to explore the...

Supraclavicular artery island flap reconstruction of a contralateral partial laryngopharyngeal defect.
Abstract: Oncologic resection of head and neck cancers often results in complex reconstructive problems that can require local, regional, or free flaps. Herein, we present a case of a 67-year-old female with a history of floor of mouth cancer who had a second primary...
Skin-sparing mastectomy flap ischemia salvage using urgent hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy: a case report.
Abstract: Since its introduction in 1991, skin-sparing mastectomy has emerged as an acceptable surgical technique in the management of breast cancer patients, providing optimal oncological safety and efficacy with favorable aesthetic results. Rates of native skin flap...
Radiation therapy oncology group gynecologic oncology working group: comprehensive results.
Abstract: The purpose of this report was to comprehensively describe the activities of the Gynecologic Oncology Working Group within the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). Clinical trials will be reviewed as well as translational science and ancillary...
The influence of elevated levels of C-reactive protein and hypoalbuminemia on survival in patients with advanced inoperable esophageal cancer undergoing palliative treatment.
Abstract: Inflammation perpetuates individual tumor progression resulting in decreased survival in cancer patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) as well as low levels of albumin on patients with...
High-dose rate brachytherapy in localized penile cancer: short-term clinical outcome analysis.
Abstract: To assess clinical outcomes of high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HIB) in localized penile carcinoma. From 03/2006 to 08/2013, patients with biopsy-proven T1-T2 (
