PIK3CA mutations in human solid tumors: role in sensitivity to various therapeutic approaches.
Giovanni Ligresti,Loredana Militello,Linda S. Steelman,Andrea Cavallaro,Francesco Basile,Ferdinando Nicoletti,Franca Stivala,James A. McCubrey,Massimo Libra +8 more
TL;DR: Analyses of PIK3CA mutations reveals that they increase the PI3K signal, stimulate downstream Akt signaling, promote growth factor-independent growth and increase cell invasion and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of biological meshes for abdominal wall reconstruction in highly contaminated fields
Andrea Cavallaro,Emanuele Lo Menzo,Maria Di Vita,Antonio Zanghì,Vincenzo Cavallaro,Pierfrancesco Veroux,Alessandro Cappellani +6 more
TL;DR: Bovine pericardium graft was placed in the retrorectus space and secured to the anterior abdominal wall using polypropylene sutures in a tension-free manner and there was no evidence of recurrence at 4 and 5 years follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific alterations of the microRNA transcriptome and global network structure in colorectal cancer after treatment with MAPK/ERK inhibitors
Marco Ragusa,Luisa Statello,Marco Maugeri,Alessandra Majorana,Davide Barbagallo,Loredana Salito,Mariangela Sammito,Manuela Santonocito,Rosario Angelica,Andrea Cavallaro,Marina Scalia,Rosario Caltabiano,Giuseppe Privitera,Antonio Biondi,Maria Di Vita,Alessandro Cappellani,E Vasquez,Salvatore Lanzafame,Elisabetta Tendi,Salvatore Celeste,Cinzia Di Pietro,Francesco Basile,Michele Purrello +22 more
TL;DR: Results contribute to deepen current knowledge on still uncharacterized features of MAPK/ERK pathway, pinpointing new oncomiRs in CRC and allowing their translation into clinical practice and CRC therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidental gallbladder cancer during laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Managing an unexpected finding
Andrea Cavallaro,Gaetano Piccolo,Vincenzo Panebianco,Emanuele Lo Menzo,Massimiliano Berretta,Antonio Zanghì,Maria Di Vita,Alessandro Cappellani +7 more
TL;DR: Laroscopic cholecystectomy does not affect survival if implemented properly and reoperation should have two objectives: R0 resection and clearance of the lymph nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Curcumin, Hormesis and the Nervous System.
Maria Scuto,Cesare Mancuso,Barbara Tomasello,Maria Laura Ontario,Andrea Cavallaro,Francesco Frasca,Luigi Maiolino,Angela Trovato Salinaro,Edward J. Calabrese,Vittorio Calabrese +9 more
TL;DR: The evidence-based medicine has clearly demonstrated the lack of any therapeutic effect of curcumin to contrast the onset or progression of neurodegeneration and related diseases, and theCurcumin safety profile imposes a careful analysis of the risk/benefit balance prior to proposing chronic supplementation with cur cumin.
