IL33 gene polymorphisms and circulating IL-33 levels in pituitary adenoma: a case–control study

Abstract Pituitary adenoma (PA) is common intracranial tumor in which inflammatory mechanisms may contribute to tumor development and progression. Interleukin-33 (IL-33), an immune-related cytokine, has been implicated in tumor-associated inflammation; however, its role in pituit...

Arsenic-endemic regions correlate with elevated tumor mutational burden and genomic alterations in urothelial carcinoma

Purpose: Urothelial carcinoma includes upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). In Taiwan, the incidence of UTUC is disproportionately high. Environmental carcinogens such as arsenic may contribute to this pattern. This study aimed to...
