Exosomal proteins as novel biomarkers for early detection of ovarian cancer
TS-075248 — Problem
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounts for over 75% of all epithelial OC and has a high mortality rate due to a lack of early detection methods. Current biomarkers have low sensitivity and specificity in early-stage disease. There is an urgent need for a more effective diagnosis …

Biomarker for prediction of immunotherapy outcomes and precision treatment strategies
TS-075237 — Problem
The loss or mutation of serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11), observed in 20–25% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases, is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). While STK11 alterations are commonly linked to immunotherapy resistance, so…
