LIQUID BIOPSY IN PERITONEAL FLUID AND PLASMA AS A PROGNOSTIC FACTOR IN ADVANCED COLORECTAL AND APPENDICEAL TUMORS AFTER COMPLETE CYTOREDUCTION AND HYPERTHERMIC INTRAPERITONEAL CHEMOTHERAPY

Liquid biopsy in peritoneal fluid and plasma as a prognostic factor in advanced colorectal and appendiceal tumors after complete cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy

Background: Positive cytology has been identified as an independent negative prognostic factor in patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) of colorectal origin.Liquid biopsy in plasma may detect increasing levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and could help predict systemic relapse in patients with colorectal cancer, but little is known about th

High-elevational occurrence of two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and I. trianguliceps, at their northern distribution range

Abstract Background During the last decades a northward and upward range shift has been observed among many organisms across different taxa.In the northern hemisphere, ticks have been observed to have increased their latitudinal and altitudinal range limit.However, the B-12 1000MCG elevational expansion at its northern distribution range remains la

Finding the Best Available Techniques for an Environmental Sustainable Waste Management in the Fish Canned Industry

This work proposes the use of the life cycle assessment (LCA) to identify the best available techniques (BAT) to the management of the residues generated in the anchovy canning sector.This industry generates huge amount of solid and liquid wastes, and their management is one of the hotspots of the canned anchovy life cycle.The application of BATs c
