Involved neck only versus mucosal radiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell cancer of unknown primary (HNSCCUP): a national retrospective multicentre cohort study
Introduction: Target volumes for irradiation remain ill-defined for head and neck squamous cell cancer of unknown primary (HNSCCUP). The aim of this study was to compare two commonly used radiotherapy...

To advance our knowledge about the role of ecDNAs in cancer, it would be helpful if people could at least acknowledge that not everyone concludes that ecDNAs form "hubs" in the nucleus. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40972571/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41237767/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36476408/

Extrachromosomal DNA associates with nuclear condensates and reorganizes chromatin structures to enhance oncogenic transcription - PubMed
Extrachromosomal, circular DNA (ecDNA) is a prevalent oncogenic alteration in cancer genomes, often associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor patient outcome. While previous studies proposed a chromatin-based mobile enhancer model for ecDNA-driven oncogenesis, its precise mechanism and impa …

Honestly watching the memes about #Minah from #thetraitors having her named spelled incorrectly is like having flashbacks from every day of my life. It's Karin with an 'i'!!! WITH AN 'I'!!! Thank you for listening to my TED talk 😊

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/
