The association between CTSZ methylation in peripheral blood and breast cancer in Chinese women
PurposePrevious studies have shown that DNA methylation in peripheral blood may be associated with breast cancer (BC). To explore the association between the methylation level of the Cathepsin Z (CTSZ) gene in peripheral blood and BC, we conducted a case–

Biomarkers for patients with Wilms tumor: a review
Wilms tumor, originating from aberrant fetal nephrogenesis, is the most common renal malignancy in childhood. The overall survival of children is approximately 90%. Although existing risk-stratification systems are helpful in identifying patients with poor prognosis, the recurrence rate of Wilms tumors remains as high as 15%.
