Prevalence of Constitutional Pathogenic Variant in a Cohort of 348 Patients With Multiple Primary Cancer Addressed in Oncogenetic Consultation

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2025.
Patients recruited from the oncogenetic department with multiple cancers (348) were more likely to carry pathogenic mutations than those with a single cancer (1422) (27.3% vs. 13.39% p < 0.001). However, if the multiple primary cancers cannot be linked to the same hereditary predisposition syndrome, the prevalence of pathogenic variants is not ...

Comparative sequencing study of mismatch repair and homology‐directed repair genes in endometrial cancer and breast cancer patients from Kazakhstan

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 156, Issue 4, Page 764-775, 15 February 2025.
What's new? In high‐risk families, endometrial cancer appears to be mainly triggered by pathogenic variants in mismatch repair genes, and breast cancer by pathogenic variants in homology‐directed repair genes. However, the two pathways are not mutually exclusive.

AMIGO2 characterizes cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic colon cancer and induces the release of paracrine active tumorigenic secretomes

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, Volume 265, Issue 1, Page 14-25, January 2025.
Abstract Secretomes of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) contribute to malignancy. Detailed knowledge is available on the components and functions of CAF secretomes. Little is known about the regulation of CAF secretomes.

Narrative review comparing the epidemiology, characteristics, and survival in sporadic colorectal carcinoma/Lynch syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Coloproctology, 2020
Introduction: Colorectal carcinoma is the third most prevalent neoplasm in the world, and the second cause of death by cancer. The most part of these neoplasms are sporadic by somatic mutations, but around 15% are hereditary, such as Lynch syndrome or ...

Exploring the Common Mutational Landscape in Cutaneous Melanoma and Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesPigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Cutaneous melanoma (CM) and pancreatic cancer are aggressive tumors whose incidences are rapidly increasing in the last years. This review aims to provide a complete and update description about mutational landscape in CM and pancreatic cancer, focusing on similarities of these two apparently so different tumors in terms of site, type of cell ...
