Abstract
Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the cancellation or postponement of face-to-face clinic appointments, meaning patients on active surveillance (AS) for low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer have been unable to undergo the recommended clinical assessment and digital rectal examination (DRE) during these times. This study aimed to determine whether the omission of DRE during the COVID-19 pandemic has put AS patients at risk by missing early detection of disease progression. Methods: This was a retrospective, regional study looking at the data of 142 men who qualified for placement on the Grampian AS protocol over a six-year span. It paid particular attention to the reasons for progression in those men who moved to active treatment (AT) during this six-year period. Results: The results showed that DRE played no role in triggering the move of these 42 patients onto AT. Nineteen (45%) of these patients moved to AT due to progression on trans-rectal ultrasound biopsy, 10 (24%) due to progression on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging, eight (19%) due to a rising prostate-specific antigen and five (12%) due to patient choice. Conclusion: This audit reassures us that those patients who cannot receive a timely DRE during the COVID-19 pandemic are unlikely to be at an increased risk of missing disease progression in our region. Level of evidence: Retrospective cohort study – level 3.

Abstract
In recent years, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have gradually become a major choice of drug delivery cargoes due to unique properties. Compared to traditional bulk solid gold, GNPs have basic physical and chemical advantages, such as a larger surface area-to-volume ratio and easier surface
modification. Furthermore, these have excellent biocompatibility, can induce the directional adsorption and enrichment of biological macromolecules, help retain biological macromolecule activity, and cause low harm to the human body. All these make GNPs good drug delivery cargoes. The present
study introduces the properties of GNPs, including factors that affect the properties and synthesis. Then, focus was given on the application in drug delivery, not only on the molecular mechanism, but also on the clinical application. Furthermore, the properties and applications of peptide
GNPs were also introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of GNPs for drug delivery were summarized.

Abstract
Introduction: In this study, the cytotoxic and anti-cancer effects of Irinotecan as a conventional chemotherapeutic agent compared to 17-(allyl amino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) as possible radiosensitizers in the HCT-116 cell line were investigated. Methods: HCT-116 cells were treated with various concentrations of irinotecan and 17-AAG and also irradiated with a 2-Gy of X-ray radiation. Then, the cell viability was examined by a water-soluble tetrazolium-1 assay after 24 hours. For single therapies and double and triple combination cases, IC50, 0.5×IC50 and 0.25×IC50 concentrations of each drug were selected respectively for a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay and other tests. In treated and untreated cells, the caspase 3 and Bcl-2 gene expression ratios were evaluated by the real-time PCR method. Likewise, caspase 3 activity was detected with a colorimetric assay. Results: In all combined treatments, including 17-AAG- radiation, irinotecan - radiation, irinotecan -17-AAG, and irinotecan-17-AAG-radiation, decreased cellular viability and increased TUNEL positive cells were presented versus the control group (P<0.05). There were increased TUNEL positive cells in the triple combination, in concentrations of 0.25×IC50 of each drug, in comparison with single and double agent treatments. Moreover, in triple combination, the caspase 3 mRNA level and caspase 3 activity increased versus related single treatments. Likewise, in the irinotecan-17-AAG-radiation combined treatment and the 17-AAG-radiation double treatment, the Bcl-2 gene expression level decreased in comparison with single therapies. Conclusion: It can be indicated that the combination of chemo-radiotherapy versus single treatments has significant anti-cancer effects.

Abstract
Self-renewal of the intestinal epithelium originates from stem cells located at the crypt base. Upregulation of various stem cell markers in intestinal epithelial neoplasms indicates a potential role of stem cells in tumorigenesis. In this study, the immunoreactivity of potential intestinal stem cell markers ( Sry box transcription factor 9 [Sox9], homeodomain-only protein [Hopx], survivin) and tuft cell marker doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) in normal canine intestine and intestinal epithelial neoplasms was investigated. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) small and large intestine as well as intestinal neoplasms (55 colorectal adenomas [CRAs], 17 small intestinal adenocarcinomas [SICs], and 12 colorectal adenocarcinomas [CRCs]) were analyzed immunohistologically. Potential stem cell markers Sox9, Hopx, and survivin were detected in the crypts of normal canine small and large intestine. DCLK1+ tuft cells were present in decreasing numbers along the crypt-villus axis of the jejunum and rarely detectable in large intestine. In canine intestinal epithelial tumors, nuclear Sox9 immunoreactivity was detectable in 84.9% (CRA), 80% (CRC), and 77% of epithelial neoplastic cells (SIC). Hopx and survivin were expressed within cytoplasm and nuclei of neoplastic cells in benign and malignant tumors. DCLK1 showed a cytoplasmic reaction within neoplastic cells. The combined score of Hopx, DCLK1, and survivin varied among the examined cases. Overall, malignant tumors showed lower DCLK1 scores but higher Hopx scores in comparison with benign tumors. For survivin, no differences were detectable. In conclusion, stem cell markers Sox9, Hopx, and survivin were detectable at the crypt base and the immunoreactivity of Sox9, DCLK1, survivin, and Hopx was increased in canine intestinal adenomas and adenocarcinomas compared with normal mucosa.

Abstract
Immunocompromised patients with respiratory viral infections are at increased risk of fungal superinfections, including Pneumocystosis. Within the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pneumocystis jirovecii co-infections are being increasingly reported. Differential diagnosis often creates a dilemma, due to multiple overlapping clinical and radiographic features. Awareness of fungal co-infections in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial to initiate prophylactic measures, especially in high-risk individuals. We report the second case of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and COVID-19 co-infection in a renal transplant recipient in Poland.

Abstract
Introduction: Previous prospective studies suggest that the sequential use of cytotoxic agents, such as oxaliplatin, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has the potential to improve prognosis and maintain quality of life than combination chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a sequential treatment strategy consisting of an initial therapy (capecitabine, S-1, or 5-fluorouracil with leucovolin [LV/5-FU] plus bevacizumab) and subsequent therapy (i.e., initial therapy plus oxaliplatin) for mCRC.
Methods: The primary endpoint was second progression-free survival (2nd PFS) between the start of initial therapy and tumor progression after sequential therapy; secondary endpoints were PFS after initial treatment (1st PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety.
Results: Sixty-six patients were planned to be recruited. However, owing to a slow accrual rate, recruitment was terminated when only 19 patients were enrolled between 2011 and 2015; 4, 10, and 5 patients were administered capecitabine plus bevacizumab, S-1 plus bevacizumab, and LV/5-FU plus bevacizumab, respectively. The proportions of those with a KRAS status (wild-type/mutant/unknown) were 26%, 21%, and 53%, respectively. The median 2nd PFS and OS were 19.1 months and not reached, respectively. The ORR was 45.5% in the initial therapy and 16.7% in the subsequent therapy. Grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (5%), proteinurea (5%), and hypertension (47%).
Discussion/Conclusion: Although our data are limited and preliminary, the sequential treatment strategy may provide a survival benefit in patients with mCRC. Further investigation of this treatment approach is warranted.

Abstract
Whether dietary fiber intake could reduce the risk of breast cancer (BC) is still controversial. The articles related to breast cancer and dietary fiber were retrieved through PubMed and Web of Science database. Summary relative risk (RR) and attributable risk percentage (ARP) for dietary fiber intake on the development of breast cancer were calculated. Dose-response meta-analysis modeled the relationship between dietary fiber intake and breast cancer risk. A total of 10 studies were included in this study. Meta-analysis showed that dietary fiber intake was negatively associated with breast cancer (RR = 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.74, 0.93]). In dose-response analysis, the risk of breast cancer showed a statistically significant linear trend with increasing dietary fiber dose: when adding 10 g per day, the risk decreased by 4.7% (RR = 0.95, 95% CI [0.93, 0.98]). The ARP results demonstrated that the breast cancer dietary fiber–attributed percentage was 33.33% in Asia, which was higher than 16.28% in North America and 9.89% in Europe. In conclusion, dietary fiber intake may have a positive effect on reducing breast cancer risk, especially in high doses.

Abstract
Objective Oral cancer is amenable to early detection but remains a prominent cause of mortality in the Asia Pacific region. This study aimed to identify barriers to early detection and management of oral cancer in the Asia Pacific region. Methods A mixed-methods approach was employed triangulating findings from a survey and focus groups. The survey was conducted among seven representative members of the Asia Pacific Oral Cancer Network (APOCNET) across six countries. Focus groups were conducted to gain deeper insights into the findings of the survey. Results The identified barriers were a lack of national cancer control strategies and cancer registries and the limited availability of trained health care professionals. Overcoming these challenges in the Asia Pacific region where resources are scarce will require collaborative partnerships in data collection and novel approaches for continuous professional training including eLearning. Further, to overcome the lack of trained health care professionals, innovative approaches to the management of oral potentially malignant lesions and oral cancer including telemedicine were suggested. Conclusion The findings of this study should be taken into account when charting national cancer control plans for oral cancer and will form the basis for future collaborative studies in evaluating effective measures to improve oral cancer detection and management in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract
Abstract
Cancer, one of the key health problems globally, is a group of related diseases that share a number of characteristics primarily the uncontrolled growth and invasive to surrounding tissues. Chemotherapy is one of the ways for the treatment of cancer which uses one or more anticancer agents as per chemotherapy regimen. Limitations of most anticancer drugs due to a variety of reasons such as serious side effects, drug resistance, lack of sensitivity and efficacy etc. generate the necessity towards the designing of novel anticancer lead molecules. In this regard, the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic molecules is an appealing research area. Among heterocyclic compounds, nitrogen containing heterocyclic molecules has fascinated tremendous consideration due to broad range of pharmaceutical activity. Imidazoles, extensively present in natural products as well as synthetic molecules, have two nitrogen atoms, and are five membered heterocyclic rings. Because of their countless physiological and pharmacological characteristics, medicinal chemists are enthused to design and synthesize new imidazole derivatives with improved pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. The aim of this present chapter is to discuss the synthesis, chemistry, pharmacological activity, and scope of imidazole-based molecules in anticancer drug development. Finally, we have discussed the current challenges and future perspectives of imidazole-based derivatives in anticancer drug development.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the biggest risk factor that endangers women's health. It is considered the highest stress-causing disease due to the unpleasant effects of disease on different aspects of patients’ life. Breast cancer is commonly associated with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and its comorbidities such as anxiety and depression. It appears that time perspective therapy (TPT), as a new psychological treatment, can reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression in females with breast cancer. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial conducted from February to September 2019. A total of 30 patients with breast cancer were selected through a convenience sampling technique and were randomly divided into the control and treatment groups. The latter group attended 6-week sessions (each session lasted 90 minutes long) to receive TPT. To conduct pretest and posttest, all participants in the two groups were asked to fill out the following questionnaires: (1) Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI); (2) The Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL); (3) Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI); and (4) the second version of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluate the effects of treatment. A P-value smaller than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Data analysis of 28 patients from the experimental and control groups showed that TPT significantly reduced the symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression in the treatment group (P < 0.001 for symptoms of post-traumatic stress and anxiety, and P = 0.002 for depression). Such a difference was not seen in the control group. Conclusions: TPT may be an effective approach to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression in Iranian women with breast cancer. Further investigations are required to confirm these findings, which may in turn help heath care professionals use TPT to promote the mental health of females with breast cancer.

Abstract
Introducción. El cáncer gástrico es uno de los cánceres más letales; por lo tanto, un alto nivel de conocimiento sobre su prevención es esencial en la formación de los futuros médicos.
Objetivo. Determinar los factores epidemiológicos y educativos asociados al nivel de conocimiento en prevención de cáncer gástrico en internos de medicina de una universidad en Lima, Perú.
Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal analítico realizado en 319 internos de medicina matriculados en 2020 y 2021 en la Facultad de Medicina Humana de la Universidad Ricardo Palma. La información se recolectó utilizando encuestas. Además, el nivel socioeconómico y el nivel de conocimiento se midieron mediante la clasificación de Graffar y el test de conocimiento sobre prevención en cáncer gástrico, previamente validado en un centro de salud en Lima (Alfa de Cronbach: 0.84), respectivamente. Se realizó un análisis bivariado y uno multivariado con un modelo de regresión de Poisson, calculándose razones de prevalencia, con un intervalo de confianza (IC) de 95% y un nivel de significancia de p<0.05.
Resultados. El nivel de conocimientos fue alto en 53.92% de los internos. En el análisis multivariado, se observó una asociación significativa entre el nivel alto de conocimiento sobre prevención de cáncer gástrico y las siguientes variables: planear realizar una especialidad quirúrgica (RPa:1.43, IC95%:1.13-1.81; p=0.003) y tener nivel socioeconómico I-II (RPa:1.58, IC95%:1.26-1.99; p=0.000). Por otro lado, las variables sexo, edad, tener un familiar directo con cáncer, tener un familiar médico directo y asistencia a conferencias de cáncer no mostraron asociación significativa.
Conclusión. Planear realizar una especialidad quirúrgica y tener nivel socioeconómico I-II fueron las únicas variables asociadas con tener un nivel alto e conocimientos sobre prevención del cáncer gástrico, por lo que se recomienda que la Facultad de Medicina Humana desarrolle estrategias dirigidas a mejorar el nivel de conocimiento de los internos de medicina.

Abstract
As the H-2A visa program expands to become a core component of contemporary Mexican migration to the United States, questions emerge about the tradeoffs migrants face between temporary and undocumented statuses. This article employs propensity score matching of participants in the Mexican Migration Project—an extensive binational survey of Mexican migrants and their families—to compare economic and social outcomes of H-2A visa recipients vis-à-vis undocumented migrants. Findings indicate that although H-2A visas offer benefits like a lower cost of living while abroad, they do not produce a discernible effect on wages relative to wages earned by undocumented migrants. While H-2A migrants are more likely to work in the formal economy, they are also less likely to build social capital or language proficiency in the United States than undocumented migrants, indicating a degree of social isolation that can be exploited by employers. This comparison contributes to a growing literature on the proliferation of temporary migratory statuses and the marginality experienced by migrants within these statuses.

Abstract
Introduction: Redox imbalance is an important factor in both carcinogenesis and progression of renal cell carcinoma. Numerous studies are focused on finding potential biomarkers that can aid in early detection, as well as in monitoring disease progression. Among the candidates there are genes coding for antioxidant enzymes - superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and glutathione S -transferase (GST). Aim: This study aims to assess the role of SOD2 and GST genes polymorphisms as risk biomarkers for papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC), along with their impact on the survival of these patients. Material and methods: This study included 39 patients and 336 controls. The following polymorphisms were determined by appropriate PCR methods: SOD2 (rs4880), GSTA1 C69T, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 (rs1695) . ELISA method was used to measure 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts plasma level. The effect of the polymorphisms on postoperative prognosis was examined using the available survival data. Results: There was no significant difference in the distribution of SOD2, GSTA1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 gene variants between patients and controls (p > 0.05). However GSTP1 variant (GSTP1 * IleVal + ValVal) genotype was statistically significantly more frequent in patients compared to controls (p < 0.05). Similarly, carriers of GSTP1 variant genotype were at significantly higher risk of developing carcinoma compared to carriers of GSTP1 reference genotype (OR = 16.103, 95% IP = 2.036 - 127.398). There was no association between the level of both 8-OHdG and BPDE-DNA adducts, and different genotypes (p > 0.05). The investigated polymorphisms did not show any prognostic significance (p > 0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that the GSTP1 variant genotype was related to an increased risk of papillary renal cell carcinoma development. In order to fully understand the effect of investigated polymorphisms as a potential risk and prognostic biomarkers of this cancer, further research with a bigger sample size and longer follow-up are required.

Abstract
Aim: Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality from cancer across the world. In this study, the use of serum nucleolin (NCL) and nucleophosmin (NPM1) levels as a marker in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response evaluation in lung cancer was investigated. Materials and Method: NCL and NPM1 levels of serum samples taken before chemotherapy and after 3-4 courses of chemotherapy from the control group and the patients diagnosed with lung cancer were studied using ELISA method. Results: Serum NCL and NPM1 levels of the patients were higher than of the controls (p = 0.085 for NCL, p = 0.000 for NPM1). NCL and NPM1 levels by histopathologic type were significantly higher in adenocarcinoma than in squamous cell carcinoma (p < 0.05 for each). In view of the treatment responses to chemotherapeutic agents, there was a statistically insignificant difference between the values before and after chemotherapy (p > 0.05 for each). Conclusion: High serum NCL and NPM1 levels were found to correlate with poor prognosis, poor treatment response and low survival rate. It can be concluded that serum NCL and NPM1 levels in lung cancer can be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for the disease.

Abstract
Objectifs : L’étude avait pour objectif d’estimer la prévalence de la dépression et de l’anxiété dans une population de femmes tunisiennes suivies pour un cancer du sein et de relever les données sociodémographiques, cliniques et de vie de couple qui leur sont associées.
Matériels et méthodes : Une étude transversale auprès de 100 patientes suivies pour un cancer du sein a été réalisée. Un questionnaire portant sur les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, cliniques, thérapeutiques, sur la vie conjugale et sur la sexualité du couple a été administré. L’échelle HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) a été utilisée pour le dépistage des symptômes anxieux et dépressifs.
Résultats : Un score clinique a été retrouvé dans 48 % des cas pour l’anxiété et 37 % des cas pour la dépression. Les patientes qui ont vécu une réaction négative de leur conjoint face à leur maladie et dont la relation de couple et la relation sexuelle ont été altérées présentaient des scores significativement plus élevés de symptomatologie anxieuse et dépressive. Une relation sexuelle non altérée était retrouvée comme facteur protecteur de l’anxiété et de la dépression.
Conclusion : Les résultats de cette étude mettent en évidence l’importance de développer des mesures spécifiques pour améliorer la communication et promouvoir la santé sexuelle au sein du couple en Tunisie.

Abstract
Background Sortilin 1 (SORT1) has been reported as an oncogene in several human tumors. Nonetheless, the biological functions of SORT1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poorly understood. Methods Western blotting was employed for the determination of protein expression. Hepatocellular carcinoma cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were measured via CCK-8, flow cytometry, wound healing, and Transwell assays. Results Sortilin 1 was upregulated in HCC and closely associated with unsatisfactory outcomes of HCC patients. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo assays revealed that SORT1 knockdown significantly diminished HCC cell proliferation and metastasis but accelerated HCC cell apoptosis; moreover, SORT1 depletion also restrained the growth of xenografted HCC tumors. Mechanistically, SORT1 activated PI3K/AKT signaling in HCC cells, thereby promoting the malignant behaviors of HCC cells. Conclusion This study demonstrated that SORT1 might promote HCC progression by activating PI3K/AKT signaling, indicating that SORT1 might be a promising target and biomarker for HCC treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
To explore the relationship between IL-17 mediated immune response and HPV-negative cervical cancer, we established the co-culture system of cervical cancer C-33A cells and PBMC, and treated with different concentrations of rhIL-17. PBMC were extracted from 10ml anticoagulant blood provided by healthy female volunteers and colleagues in our hospital, which were co-cultured with cervical cancer C-33A cells. After treatment with different concentrations of rhIL-17, the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion behavior and VEGF expression level of cancer cells in each group, were determined by CCK-8, flow cytometry, transwell invasion assay and ELISA, respectively. The proliferation rate of C-33A cells slightly increased with the ascending of IL-17 concentration, but no statistical significance was found among each group ( P > 0.05). When at low concentration of IL-17, the cell apoptosis rate seems to slightly decline. With the increase of concentration, the decrease of apoptosis rate became more obvious ( P < 0.05). However, differing from those shown above, we found that IL-17 slightly inhibited the cancer cell invasion at high concentration, while it was more obvious at low concentration ( P < 0.05). Furthermore, we found that there was no significant correlation between IL-17 and VEGF ( P > 0.05). In summary, there is a close correlation between IL-17 mediated immune response and HPV-negative cervical cancer. Also, we think that IL-17 may play a dual role in tumor progression and could be a possible significant influence on tumor proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis, which provides a basic theoretical basis for the further study of immunotherapy measures for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Introduction Weight gain after breast cancer is common, and obesity after breast cancer increases breast cancer recurrence and mortality. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and yoga have been shown to be effective in managing obesity/overweight in people without breast cancer. There is a need to systematically map the extent and range of evidence on yoga and MBIs for managing obesity/overweight after breast cancer in order to aid planning and commissioning of future research. Methods We conducted a scoping review informed by methods described by Levac et al. Five electronic databases were searched for any peer-reviewed original research (including systematic reviews) that examined the role of yoga and/or MBIs for managing overweight/obesity after breast cancer. Data were extracted on study, population, intervention, comparator and outcome characteristics, and described narratively. Results: We found 18 publications representing 15 unique studies (11 clinical trials, 2 systematic reviews, and 2 observational studies). There were 10 studies on yoga, and 5 on MBIs. Of the clinical trials, only 4/11 examined a weight-related outcome as the primary outcome. The remaining trials examined lifestyle or metabolic outcomes (5/11) or unrelated outcomes such as psychological health (2/11). Gaps in the literature included small sample sizes, lack of cultural diversity amongst participants, inadequate reporting of the intervention, few lifestyle co-interventions offered, lack of active comparator groups, and inadequate safety reporting. Conclusions: There is a need for adequately-powered RCTs that adhere to reporting guidelines. The use of gold-standard methods for measuring outcomes, and active comparator groups, is also recommended.

Abstract
Background Advanced age and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are common in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We evaluated the impact of age on the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban versus warfarin in this population. Methods We analyzed electronic health record data from November 2010, to December 2019 including adults with NVAF and T2D, newly started on rivaroxaban or warfarin. Propensity score-overlap weighted hazard ratios (HRs) for stroke/systemic embolism (SSE), hospitalization for major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding (CRNMB), vascular death, major adverse limb events (MALE), major bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were calculated for older (≥80 years) and younger (<80 years) cohorts. Results We included 32 078 rivaroxaban and 83 971 warfarin users (6606 rivaroxaban and 25,335 warfarin patients were aged ≥80 years). No significant interaction for rivaroxaban versus warfarin by age was observed for any outcome, including SSE (HR = 1.05 vs 0.95), hospitalization for major or CRNMB (HR = 1.06 vs 0.90), vascular death (HR = 0.92 vs 0.90), MALE (HR = 0.80 vs 0.76), major bleeding or ICH. Conclusions The effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban versus warfarin remained consistent across patient age subgroups.

Abstract
Introduction: There exists a knowledge gap in the quality and quantity of cancer-related research in Nigeria. This review gives a report on cancer research literature indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) in Nigeria from 1990 -2019. Materials and methods: The data used in the present study were published research papers retrieved from the Web of Science. Results: A total of 629 research articles were published within this period across 276 journals. The highest number of articles was published in 2019 (n = 62), while the least was in 1992 (n = 2). However, the last ten years witnessed explosive growth, and it accounted for 63% of the total number of articles. The most relevant authors are Olapade HI (33 articles), Huo D (28 articles), and Ogundiran TO (21 articles). The most relevant sources in the area of cancer research in Nigeria are Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice (52 articles), East African Medical Journal (23 articles), and African Health Sciences (21 articles). The most relevant author's affiliations are University of Ibadan (n=206), University of Nigeria, Nsukka (n = 115), and Obafemi Awolowo University (n = 105). Conclusion: The results from this study show that Nigerian institutions need to collaborate extensively with foreign institutions and partner with industries in order to improve the quality of their research output.

Abstract
Objectives Gastric cancer (GC) is a major global health concern and is difficult to diagnose in the early stage. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, novel form of non-apoptotic cell death. In recent years, inducing the upregulation of ferroptosis-related genes has become a promising therapeutic alternative for cancers, especially those resistant to traditional treatments. However, the relationship between ferroptosis-related genes and GC remains to be further elucidated. Methods In the present study, mRNA expression profiles and corresponding clinical data of patients with GC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas and used as test data. A multigene signature was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model. Data of patients with GC from ‘GSE84426’ in the Gene Expression Omnibus database were used as Training data for validation. Results More than half ferroptosis-related genes were differentially expressed in GC tissues and adjacent normal tissue samples (58.43%) in the test data. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that 16 differentially expressed genes were related to the prognosis of GC (all p < 0.05). Expression profiles of the 16 DGEs were analysed using LASSO Cox regression, and a prognostic model was established by selecting the 10 best genes for λ. These 10 genes were used to construct a 10-gene signature and stratify patients into two risk groups. Based on the median risk score in the test data, patients with GC were divided into high- and low-risk groups ( p < 0.001). Risk score was an independent predictor for overall survival in multivariate Cox regression analyses ( p < 0.001 and <0.01 in the test and training data, respectively; hazard ratio >1). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis confirmed the predictive capacity of the 10-gene signature. Functional analysis revealed that tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, antigen-presenting cell co-stimulation, and cytokine-cytokine receptors were enriched; however, the immune status differed between the two risk groups. Conclusion The novel ferroptosis-related gene signature can be used for GC prognosis. In addition, ferroptosis may provide a novel alternative for the diagnosis and treatment of GC.

Abstract
Objectives To analyze trends in pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality in Latin American countries.
Methods An ecological study with incidence data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and mortality data from the World Health Organization. The trend of incidence by Joinpoint regression, the variation of the annual average and the 95% confidence interval were analyzed.
Results There were increasing trends in incidence in Brazil, in males, aged 40-59 years, and reduction in Costa Rica. In females, there was stability in all age groups. The mortality rates increased in the elderly in Brazil (AAPC: 1.09%; 95% CI: 0.76; 1.42), Peru (AAPC: 1.76%; 95% CI: 0.36; 3.17) and El Salvador (AAPC: 2.88%; 95% CI: 0.38; 5.43), while in Mexico, there was a reduction. In females, this rate increased in Brazil (AAPC: 1.38%; 95% CI: 1.07; 1.69), Peru (AAPC: 2.25%; 95% CI: 0.68; 3.85), Chile (AAPC: 3.62%; 95% CI:1.96; 5.31), Nicaragua (AAPC: 2.51%; 95% CI: 0.36; 4.71) and Paraguay (AAPC: 1.17%; 95% CI: 0.37; 1.98) and a downward trend was observed in Colombia and Ecuador.
Conclusions Pancreatic cancer had a higher incidence in the elderly population of both sexes and an increase of the mortality trend in females was noted.
