Read the latest in cancer care and research

At Wiley, we make oncology research more accessible improving patient care around the world. We help researchers advance the field by making life-changing research available to scientists, policy-makers, patients and those teaching the next generation of clinicians. Discover some of the latest advancements in the field collected into one themed issue inspired by the theme of this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology's Annual Meeting: Partnering with Patients: The Cornerstone of Cancer Care and Research.

Evaluating incident learning systems and safety culture in two radiation oncology departments

Evaluating incident learning systems and safety culture in two radiation oncology departments

The aims were to assess attitudes to and understanding of safety culture (SC) and incident learning systems (ILSs) in two closely-linked radiation oncology departments using a customised survey. Sixty-three per cent of staff participated. Barriers identified in one department prompted a quality improvement project to develop a new radiation oncology-specific reporting system, with a focus on improving departmental learning and modifying the overall ILS.

The improvement in continuity and integrity of survivorship care for breast cancer survivors in Chinese healthcare system

The improvement in continuity and integrity of survivorship care for breast cancer survivors in Chinese healthcare system

Shared, disease specific, and comprehensive survivorship care programs all have their own strengths in aspects including the cost of time, money, and human resources. And it's worth noting that oncology nurses all played indispensable significant roles in these different models.

Evaluation of quality of clinical management of neuroendocrine tumors

Evaluation of quality of clinical management of neuroendocrine tumors

Overall, the epidemiological results of our neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cohort were comparable with findings in literature. Gastrointestinal NETs met most of the requirements of qualitative pathology reporting and diagnostic imaging as listed in the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society consensus guidelines. Discussing treatment strategies in specialized multidisciplinary tumor boards would facilitate regional care.

Flexible bioelectronic innovation for personalized health management

Flexible bioelectronic innovation for personalized health management

With the vigorous development of intelligent medical care and interdisciplinary science, innovative flexible bioelectronics (FBEs) are emerging in health monitoring, disease diagnosis and treatment, and even cancer therapy. This work comments on the recent progress of FBEs in personalized health management, emphasizing its innovative role in cancer therapy. Future perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for the next-generation innovative FBEs are also proposed.

Harnessing natural killer cells to develop next-generation cellular immunotherapy

Harnessing natural killer cells to develop next-generation cellular immunotherapy

In this review, we highlight the latest progress in the CAR-NK cell-based immunotherapy. We also discuss major roadblocks facing the clinical translation of CAR-NK cell therapy, and present potential strategies to surmount these challenges.

Clinical practice of precision medicine in lymphoma

Clinical practice of precision medicine in lymphoma

In ITP, Treg cells play an important role in pathogenesis. Treg cells decrease as their output from thymus decreased and their plasticity in peripheral blood. Meanwhile, Treg cells' function impaired. New treatment may develop focusing on the abnormality of Treg cells.

Targeting lysosomal HSP70 induces acid sphingomyelinase-mediated disturbance of lipid metabolism and leads to cell death in T cell malignancies

Targeting lysosomal HSP70 induces acid sphingomyelinase-mediated disturbance of lipid metabolism and leads to cell death in T cell malignancies

  • Find a new lysosomotropic drug V8.
  • The characteristics of targeting lysosome HSP70 are clarified.
  • Disturbance of lysosomal lipid metabolism is a new approach for T cell malignancies.
  • The HSP70-ASM axis regulates lysosomal stability.

Splicing factor arginine/serine-rich 8 promotes multiple myeloma malignancy and bone lesion through alternative splicing of CACYBP and exosome-based cellular communication

Splicing factor arginine/serine-rich 8 promotes multiple myeloma malignancy and bone lesion through alternative splicing of CACYBP and exosome-based cellular communication

Graphic working model illustrates that SFRS8 reduces CACYBP isoform1 (NM_014412.3) and increases CACYBP isoform2 (NM_001007214.1) by mediating the alternative splicing of CACYBP, thereby altering the ubiquitination degradation of β-catenin and exosome-based cellular communication to promote MM malignancy and bone lesion.

Pathogenesis and treatment of multiple myeloma

  • First Published: 02 June 2022
Pathogenesis and treatment of multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second-ranking malignancy in hematological tumors. There has been a significant change in the paradigm for the management of MM. In this review, we summarize the pathogenesis and current treatment options of MM, then overview recent advances in nanomedicine-based systems, aiming to provide more insights into the treatment of MM.

Structural and functional characterization of multiple myeloma associated cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase FAM46C

Structural and functional characterization of multiple myeloma associated cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase FAM46C

  1. Mammalian FAM46C is a unique non-canonical poly(A) polymerase (PAP) with a bacterial-like protein fold.
  2. FAM46C differs from its homolog FAM46B in PAP activity due to the divergence of amino acid residues at several critical sites.
  3. The structural-functional characterization of MM-related FAM46C mutations that may be used for prognosis in the future.

Identification and integrative analysis of microRNAs in myelodysplastic syndromes based on microRNAs expression profile

Identification and integrative analysis of microRNAs in myelodysplastic syndromes based on microRNAs expression profile

miR-195-5p, miR-4505, miR-22-3p and miR-148a-3p were selected as hub microRNAs in microRNA-Gene ontology regulatory network and their aberrant expression might be closely associated with myelodysplastic syndromes pathogenesis. Their target genes mainly participated in the process of signal transduction, blood coagulation, apoptotic process, cell proliferation, transmembrane transport and angiogenesis
