Filter by:Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) could be a very aggressive cancer and has a bad prognosis if not detected early and thus is associated with high mortality. The development of simple and reliable biomarkers for the early detection of SCC is one of the solutions to better diagnose, treat these tumors, evaluate and monitor treatments, and hence reduce mortality. In a previous work, the investigators demonstrated the ability of Proton Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to non-invasively assess spectroscopic and metabolic profiles of tongue tissue in healthy subjects. In the present work, the investigators challenge the use of in-vivo 1H-MRS as a potential method for non-invasive metabolic monitoring of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue undergoing therapy. Thus the main objective is to study the spectroscopic and metabolic differences, e.g. including variation in the metabolite TMA-Cho (trimethylamine-choline), of tongue tissue between healthy subjects and in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, before and after surgery.
Cancer of the stomach and oesophagus is among the world's top five cancers. Survival rates are very poor as the disease presents late and early symptoms are non-specific. The study team has developed a non-invasive test for cancers of the stomach and oesophagus based on the detection of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath. These compounds are known to be produced by both cancers as well as cancer associated bacteria within the gut. The proposed innovation is to improve the accuracy of this test by investigating whether simple metabolic substrates can increase the production of these volatile organic compounds by both the tumour and its associated bacteria.
This project intends to use multiple types of biological samples from glioma patients and mouse intracranial tumor models as research objects, and comprehensively apply a series of omics sequencing technologies and molecular biology technologies to jointly define the following research objectives :
This study is to explore the driving genes and the molecular mechanism of malignant transformation of adenomyosis. This study acquired the formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue of patients pathologically conformed endometrial carcinoma arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 15, 2017 to July 15, 2019. The formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from patients pathologically diagnosed with adenomyosis during this time period were also included as control specimens. The eutopic endometrium, normal adenomyosis tissue, and EC-AIA tissue were harvested from the FFPE tissue from patients with EC-AIA. The normal eutopic endometrium and normal adenomyosis tissue were obtained by laser microdissection. The driving genes and potential molecular mechanism of EC-AIA will be found by the technology of whole exome sequencing and transcriptomics (RNA-sequencing).
This study aims to analyze the multi-omics results between epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patient with different FIGO stages and pathological subtypes. The multi-omics profiles include whole exome sequencing, analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. A comprehensive multi-omics will reveal the invasiveness and tumorigenesis of EOC.
This study aims to analyze the multi-omics results between eutopic endometrium, adenomyosis and endometriosis of patients diagnosed of adenomyosis with and without endometriosis. The multi-omics profiles include whole exome sequencing, analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. A comprehensive multi-omics will reveal the pathogenesis of adenomyosis.
