Abstract
The mechanism of oncogenesis is extremely complicated and controlled by various factors, most of which are based on cell proliferation, tumor invasion, neovascularization, and inhibition of apoptosis. We have investigated the relationship between thirty three oncogenes expression and histopathological prognostic factors of endometrial carcinomas, including clinical stage, histological grade, presence of invasion to greater than one-half the myometrium, clinical outcome, and survival rate. Scoring on the basis of the percentage of positive cells indicated that Plks, EphB4, ephrin-B2, Id1, CaMKIV, c- Ets1, Elf-1, and survivin expression were significantly associated with PCNA-labeling index, clinical stage, histological grade, the presence of invasion to greater than one-half the myometrium, and clinical outcome. Survival data were available for all patients, and univariate Cox regression analysis showed that Plks, CaMKIV, Elf-1, and survivin expression were significantly associated with poor prognosis. Our results demonstrate that some oncogenes expression in endometrial carcinoma correlate with the malignant potential of these tumors. Thus, in addition to being of diagnostic value, modulation of these oncogenes activity in the tumors by chemotherapeutic agents or gene therapy may prove to be of therapeutic value. In this review, we demonstrate the biologic behavior of seven novel molecules (Plks, Eph / ephrin, Id family, CaMK, c-Ets1, Elf-1, and survivin) in the endometrial carcinoma.

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers and Potential Drug Targets: From Diagnosis to Therapy
Cancer biomarkers play a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. They provide valuable information for cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment selection, and monitoring response to therapy. With advancements in molecular biology and high-throughput technologies, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing cancer biomarkers ...read more
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target Drug Resistant Tumors
With the development of disciplines such as chemical biology and molecular biology, the genes or proteins closely related to tumor occurrence and development have gradually become clear. Targeted therapies targeting these genes or proteins provide more effective methods for tumor treatment. Tumor targeted drugs generally only act on specific targets ...read more
ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
