Prostate biopsies guided by three-dimensional real-time (4-D) transrectal ultrasonography on a phantom: comparative study versus two-dimensional transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the accuracy in localisation and distribution of real-time three-dimensional (4-D) ultrasound-guided biopsies on a prostate phantom. METHODS: A prostate phantom was created.

Prostate Biopsy Assistance System with Gland Deformation Estimation for Enhanced Precision [PDF]
Computer-assisted prostate biopsies became a very active research area during the last years. Prostate tracking makes it possi- ble to overcome several drawbacks of the current standard transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy procedure, namely the ...

Liquid biopsy in lung cancer: significance in diagnostics, prediction, and treatment monitoring
Primary lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Approximately 60% of lung cancer patients have distant metastasis at the initial diagnosis, so it is necessary to find new tumor markers for early diagnosis and individualized ...

Increased Drp1 promotes autophagy and ESCC progression by mtDNA stress mediated cGAS-STING pathway
Background Mitochondrial dynamics homeostasis is important for cell metabolism, growth, proliferation, and immune responses. The critical GTPase for mitochondrial fission, Drp1 is frequently upregulated in many cancers and is closely implicated in ...

Liquid biopsy: current technology and clinical applications
Liquid biopsies are increasingly used for cancer molecular profiling that enables a precision oncology approach. Circulating extracellular nucleic acids (cell-free DNA; cfDNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be ...

Cancer as an infective disease: the role of EVs in tumorigenesis
Cancer is conventionally considered an evolutionary disease where tumor cells adapt to the environment and evolve eventually leading to the formation of metastasis through the seeding and growth of metastasis‐initiating cells in distant organs.
