[PMID: 38997665 PMCID: PMC11241929 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12556-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) for primary prophylaxis of neutropenia in patients with cervical cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy. METHODS In this prospective, single-center, single-arm study, we enrolled patients (18-70 years) with 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIC1r-IVA and IVB (distant metastasis only with inguinal lymph node metastasis) cervical cancer. Eligible patients should have normal function of the bone marrow (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 2.0 × 109/L) and adequate hepatic and renal functions. Key exclusion criteria included: previous chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy; a history of bone marrow dysplasia or other hematopoietic abnormalities. All patients underwent radical radiotherapy (pelvic radiotherapy or extended-field irradiation) plus brachytherapy. The chemotherapy regimen included four cycles of 3-weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin. PEG-rhG-CSF was administered 48-72 h after each treatment cycle. Salvage granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was only permitted in certain circumstances. The primary endpoint was the incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia. The secondary endpoints included frequency of febrile neutropenia (FN), chemotherapy completion rate in cycles 2-4, time to complete radiotherapy, and safety. RESULTS Overall, 52 patients were enrolled in this study from July 2019 to October 2020. The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia was 28.8%, with an average duration of grade 3-4 neutropenia persistence of 3.85 days (1-7 days). The incidence rate of FN was 3.8%. The chemotherapy completion rate was 94.2%, 82.7%, and 75.0% for cycles 2-4, respectively. The incidences of grade 3-4 neutropenia for cycles 1-4 were 9.6% (5/52), 8.2% (4/49), 14.0% (6/43), and 2.6% (1/39), respectively. All patients completed radiotherapy within 8 weeks (median, 48 days; range: 41-56 days), except one patient who withdrew consent and did not receive radiotherapy. Severe non-hematologic toxicity was not observed in any patient. CONCLUSION PEG-rhG-CSF is an effective and safe prophylactic treatment for neutropenia in patients with cervical cancer undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal tumors bleeding remains a significantly clinical challenge due to its resistance to conventional endoscopic hemostasis methods. While the efficacy of endoscopic tissue adhesives (ETA) in variceal bleeding has been established, its role in gastrointestinal tumor bleeding (GITB) remains ambiguous. AIMS This study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of ETA in the treatment of GITB. METHODS The study enrolled 30 patients with GITB who underwent hemostasis through Histoacryl® tissue glue injection. Hemostasis success rates, ETA-related adverse events, and re-bleeding rates were evaluated. RESULTS ETA application achieved successful hemostasis at all tumor bleeding sites, with immediate hemostasis observed in all 30 (100.0%) patients. Among the initially hemostasis cases, 5 patients (17.0%) experienced re-bleeding within 30 days, and the 60 day re-bleeding rate was 20.0% (6/30). Expect for one case of vascular embolism, no adverse events related with ETA application were reported. The 6 month survival was 93%. CONCLUSION ETA demonstrated excellent immediate hemostasis success rate in GITB cases and showed promising outcomes in prevention re-bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer accounts for 7.5% of all female cancer related deaths worldwide; peaking between the ages of 35 and 65, and not only kills young women but also destroys families with young children. OBJECTIVE This review was intended to measure national level magnitude and the most common predictors of cervical cancer related mortality in Ethiopia. METHODS Common Public databases like Science Direct, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and PubMed were thoroughly searched. The STATA 14 and Rev-Manager 5.3 statistical software packages were used for analysis, as well as a standardized data abstraction tool created in Microsoft Excel. The Cochrane Q-test statistics and the I2 test were used to assess non-uniformity. The pooled magnitude and predictors of cervical cancer related mortality were estimated using fixed-effect and random-effect models, respectively. RESULT The pooled mortality among cervical cancer patients was estimated that 16.39% at 95% confidence level fall in 13.89-18.88% in Ethiopia. The most common predictors of cervical cancer related mortality were late diagnosed, radiation therapy alone, and Being anemic were identified by this review. Among cervical cancer treatment modalities effectiveness of surgery with adjuvant therapy was also approved in this meta-analysis. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION In this study high cervical cancer-related mortality was reported as compared to national strategies to alleviate cervical cancer related mortality. Advanced implementation of cervical cancer screening at the national level for early diagnosis, anaemia detection, and combination anticancer therapy during initiation, as well as combination therapy, is critical to improve cervical cancer patient survival and decreasing mortality rates.

Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancies among women. It has been demonstrated that long coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in CC. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the colon cancer associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) lncRNA in CC and elucidate its possible mechanisms of action. The expression of CCAT2, the miR-493-5p microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA was detected using qRT-PCR. Cell viability, proliferation, and migration and invasion were determined using the MTT, colony formation, and transwell assays, respectively. The interactions between miR-493-5p and CCAT2 or cAMP response element-binding protein 1 (CREB1) were verified using the luciferase and RNA pull-down assays. The effects of CCAT2 knockdown on in vivo tumor growth were determined using tumor xenografts and immunohistochemistry assays. The expression of CCAT2 was upregulated in CC cells and tissues. However, the knockdown of CCAT2 inhibited the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of CC cells in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, CCAT2 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to upregulate the expression of CREB1 by binding to miR-493-5p. The overexpression of CREB1 or downregulation of miR-493-5p antagonized the effect of CCAT2 knockdown on the proliferation and EMT of CC cells. The knockdown of CCAT2 suppressed the aggressiveness of CC via the miR-493-5p/CREB1 axis. Therefore, CCAT2 is likely to be a promising therapeutic target for CC.

Abstract
Background Almost one patient with cancer in two is anemic. About 40 to 64% of cervical cancer patients are anemic at time of presentation. The rate of anemia increases with the use of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and associated with poorer treatment outcome and quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess prevalence and associated factors of baseline anemia among cervical cancer patients in Tikur Anbesa Specialized Hospital (TASH), Ethiopia. Methods Institutional based cross-sectional study was done from March to April 2019 at TASH cancer center. Data were collected from patient’s chart using structured checklist and analyzed using Stata14.2. Binary logistic regression model was used to identify covariates which affected the outcome variable. Result This is a 3-years retrospective study from 2014 to 2016. The prevalence of baseline anemia among cervical cancer patients was 50.95%. Being stage IV [AOR = 2.38, 95% CI (1.21–4.67)], having comorbidity [AOR = 3.32, 95% CI (2.25–4.90)] and using substances (patients who used one, two or all of the three substances (cigarate, chat and alcohol)) [AOR = 2.03, 95% CI (1.21–3.41)] significantly increased the occurrence of anemia while being divorced [AOR = 0.6, 95% CI (0.36–0.98)] decreased the occurrence of anemia in the current study. Conclusion The prevalence of baseline anemia was high in the current study compared to other literatures. Significant factors of baseline anemia of cervical cancer in the current study were advanced stage (stage IV), presence of comorbidity, substance usage and being divorced (protective). The authors recommend that it is better to give special attention to those patients with the stated factors that could interfere treatment outcome.

Abstract
Recently, the main clinical treatment methods for tumor-associated hemorrhage include systemic therapy, the application of hemostatic drugs, blood transfusion, symptomatic support therapy and endoscopic interventional hemostasis. Endoscopic hemostasis is performed mainly for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, and the procedures include hardening of the blood vessels and the injection of hemostatic drugs. Surgical hemostasis methods mainly include the surgical ligation of bleeding blood vessels or tumor resection for hemostasis. Interventional hemostasis is a new hemostasis method. With the development of interventional radiology in recent years, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) can quickly detect and accurately embolize arterial blood vessels. It is the preferred treatment for present tumor-associated hemorrhages.
