Review Meta Analysis
Prognostic significance of tumor-associated macrophages density in gastric cancer: a systemic review and meta-analysis.
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) play a dual role in the development of gastric cancer (GC). This study aims to analyze the prognostic value of TAM density in GC patients. ⋯ Our findings provide empirical evidence that TAM density is not an independent predictor for the survival of GC patients.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common carcinomas throughout the world. Although the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have made some progression in the treatment of CRC patients, the mortality of CRC remains relatively high. Hence, it is an urgency to find out the detailed mechanisms of how CRC occurs. ⋯ LncRNA Sox2ot could promoted CRC cell proliferation and motility and associated with the outcome of CRC patients, suggesting Sox2ot could serve as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of CRC.
