Background: Uterine leiomyosarcoma(uLMS) is a rare malignant tumor with low clinical specificity and poor prognosis.There are many studies related to uLMS, however, there is still a lack of metrological analyses with generalization. This study provides a bibliometric study of uLMS.

Methods and materials: We chose the Web of Science (WoS) as our main database due to its extensive interdisciplinary coverage. We specifically focused on the literature from the last 20 years to ensure relevance and practicality. By utilizing the WOS core dataset and leveraging the R package "bibliometric version 4.1.0" and Citespace, we performed a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. This allowed …

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide. Perineural invasion (PNI) was a prominent characteristic of PCa, which was recognized as a key factor in promoting PCa progression. As a complex and heterogeneous disease, its true condition is difficult to explain thoroughly with conventional bulk RNA sequencing. Thus, an improved understanding of PNI-PCa progression at the single-cell level is needed.

Methods: In this study, we performed scRNAseq on tumor tissues of three PNI-PCa patients. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) were used to reduce dimensionality and visualize the cellular composition …

Radiofrequency Ablation In Combination With Cd73 Inhibitor Ab680 Reduces Tumor Growth And Enhances Anti-Tumor Immunity In A Syngeneic Model Of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, Erika Y Faraoni, Lincoln N Strickland, Baylee J O'Brien, Joseph F Barraza, Nirav C Thosani, Curtis J Wray, Tingting W Mills, Jennifer M Bailey-Lundberg

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma presents a 5-year overall survival rate of 11%, placing an imperative need for the discovery and application of innovative treatments. Radiofrequency ablation represents a promising therapy for PDA, as studies show it induces coagulative necrosis and a host adaptive immune response. In this work we evaluated the effects of RFA treatment in vivo by establishing a syngeneic mouse model of PDA and performing tumor ablation in one flank. Our studies revealed RFA acutely impaired PDA tumor growth; however, such effects were not sustained one week after treatment. Adenosine (ADO) pathway represents a strong immunosuppressive mechanism that was …
