TL;DR: Today, cancer research is always aimed at the study and development of new therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment, and several researchers are focused on the development of cell therapies, anti-tumor vaccines, and new biotechnological drugs that have already shown promising results in preclinical studies, therefore, in the near future, it will certainly assist to a new revolution in the field of medical oncology.

TL;DR: The epidemiological features of cutaneous melanoma along with the biological mechanisms involved in its development and progression are summarized and the current state-of-the-art of advanced stage melanoma treatment strategies and the currently available evidence of the use of predictive and prognostic biomarkers are discussed.

TL;DR: Novel strategies integrating probiotics, such as LGG, with conventional anti-cancer therapies are strongly encouraged, because of the tight association between gut microbiota and tumorigenesis, as well as Gut microbiota and anti- cancer therapy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the sensitivity of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and concluded that ddPCR showed higher sensitivity and specificity compared to RT-q-PCR for the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection in false negative samples with low viral load.

TL;DR: Both benefits and pitfalls of molecular biology and proteomics analyses are discussed, including the different mass spectrometry-based analytical techniques, highlighting how these investigation strategies are powerful tools to study the biology of glioblastoma, as well as to develop advanced methods for the management of this pathology.
