Circulating tumor cells are associated with poor overall survival in patients with cholangiocarcinoma
Ju Dong Yang, Michael B. Campion, Minetta C. Liu, Roongruedee Chaiteerakij, Nasra H. Giama, Hager Ahmed Mohammed, Xiaodan Zhang, Chunling Hu, Victoria L. Campion, Jin Jen, Sudhakar K. Venkatesh, Kevin C. Halling, Benjamin R. Kipp, Lewis R. Roberts – 19 June 2015 – Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood are associated with poor survival of patients with breast, prostate, or colon cancer. We hypothesized that CTCs are associated with poor survival of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).

Mineralocorticoid receptor suppresses cancer progression and the Warburg effect by modulating the miR‐338‐3p‐PKLR axis in hepatocellular carcinoma
Huizhen Nie, Jun Li, Xiao‐Mei Yang, Qing‐Zhen Cao, Ming‐Xuan Feng, Feng Xue, Lin Wei, Wenxin Qin, Jianren Gu, Qiang Xia, Zhi‐Gang Zhang – 16 June 2015 – Hormones and their corresponding receptors are vital in controlling metabolism under normal physiologic and pathologic conditions, but less is known about their roles in the metabolism of cancer.
Intrapulmonary vascular dilatations are common in portopulmonary hypertension and may be associated with decreased survival
Lynn A. Fussner, Vivek N. Iyer, Rodrigo Cartin‐Ceba, Grace Lin, Kymberly D. Watt, Michael J. Krowka – 16 June 2015 – Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) and portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) are pulmonary vascular complications of portal hypertension with divergent clinicopathologic features and management. The presence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations (IPVDs), detected by agitated saline contrast‐enhanced transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE), is an essential feature of HPS but is not typically characteristic of POPH.
