Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in the cancer diseases
TL;DR: Significant differences of ADH isoenzymes activities between cancer tissues and healthy organs may be a factor intensifying carcinogenesis by the increased ability to acetaldehyde formation from ethanol and disorders in metabolism of some biologically important substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in the development of esophageal cancer
TL;DR: It has been shown that increased expression of MMPs plays a crucial role in the development of several human malignancies, including esophageal cancer, and the roles of TIMP-1 and TIMP2 in EC development, tumor progression and formation of metastases have been most extensively characterized and best recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum macrophage-colony stimulating factor levels in colorectal cancer patients correlate with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis.

TL;DR: Findings suggest the potential clinical use of circulating M-CSF measurements, particularly in estimating prognosis for patients with CRC, are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Could neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin and cystatin C predict the development of contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with stable angina and normal serum creatinine values?

TL;DR: Serum creatinine level, the presence of diabetes, and the duration of the PCI may affect serum NGAL values and kidney function following a PCI procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic usefulness of serum interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) in the differentiation between pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis
TL;DR: Higher diagnostic usefulness of serum IL‐6 than CRP, CEA, and CA 19‐9 in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with PC and in the differentiation with CP is suggested.
