In patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the status of metastasis to lymph nodes is strongly associated with prognosis. Consequently, development of a biomarker to detect the presence of metastasis would be clinically valuable. In this study, we found that overexpression of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) was applicable as a marker for prediction of metastasis in ESCC. CB1R overexpression was detected immunohistochemically in 54 of 88 cases (61.4%). The intensity of CB1R…

Downregulation of DHRS9 is associated with poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Downregulation of ZNF395 Drives Progression of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma through Enhancement of Growth Potential
TLDR
Its downregulation caused by 8p loss in intraepithelial cells accelerates their proliferation through dysregulation of the cell cycle, leading to progression to invasive cancer.
Cannabinoids Promote Progression of HPV-Positive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via p38 MAPK Activation
TLDR
Cannabinoids can promote progression of HPV-positive HNSCC through p38 MAPK pathway activation as well as nonselective cannabinoid receptor activation in cell lines and animal models.
Cannabinoid receptors promote chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced breast cancer metastasis via IGF-1R/AKT/GSK-3β
Cannabinoids orchestrate cross-talk between cancer cells and endothelial cells in colorectal cancer
TLDR
It is demonstrated that marijuana might increase the risk of CRC progression and that inhibition of STAT1 is a potential strategy for attenuating these side effects.
∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis by targeting matrix metalloproteinase-9 in endometrial cancer
TLDR
The presnet findings suggest that THC may inhibit human EC cell migration through regulating EMT and MMP-9 pathways.
The Endocannabinoid System as a Pharmacological Target for New Cancer Therapies
TLDR
This review focuses on the current status of investigations on the impact of inhibitors of endocannabinoid-degrading enzymes on tumour growth and spread in preclinical oncology research and provides an overview of the regulation of the endoc cannabinoidoid system in cancer.
Impact of Cannabinoid Compounds on Skin Cancer
TLDR
A review of the anticarcinogenic mechanisms of cannabinoids at the different levels of skin cancer progression, such as inhibition of tumour growth, proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis, as well as inducing apoptosis and autophagy.
LncRNA XIST accelerates burn wound healing by promoting M2 macrophage polarization through targeting IL-33 via miR-19b
TLDR
Findings indicate that XIST can promote burn wounds healing and enhance the polarization of M2 macrophages by targeting the IL-33/miR-19b axis, which may serve as a potential theoretical basis for the treatment of burn wound healing.

Expression of the cannabinoid type I receptor and prognosis following surgery in colorectal cancer
TLDR
The high immunoreactivity of the cannabinoid type 1 receptor is a significant prognostic factor following surgery in stage IV CRC, and CB1 expression was not observed to be correlated with patient survival following operations in stage I/II or III cancer.
Overexpression of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 correlates with improved prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Deregulated p21WAF1 Overexpression Impacts Survival of Surgically Resected Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients
Deregulated p21(WAF1) overexpression impacts survival of surgically resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.
TLDR
Overexpression of p21 correlates with chromosomal instability and serves as an adverse prognostic predictor for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
High Tumour Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Immunoreactivity Negatively Impacts Disease-Specific Survival in Stage II Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer
TLDR
The level of CB1 receptor expression in colorectal cancer is associated with the tumour grade in a manner dependent upon the degree of CpG hypermethylation, and a high CB1IR is indicative of a poorer prognosis in stage II microsatellite stable tumour patients.
Expression of the γ2 Chain of Laminin-5 at the Invasive Front Is Associated with Recurrence and Poor Prognosis in Human Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
TLDR
The results suggest that the lamininγ 2 chain plays a key role in the progression of esophageal carcinoma and that its detection is useful for the prediction of recurrence and poor prognosis.
A high cannabinoid CB(1) receptor immunoreactivity is associated with disease severity and outcome in prostate cancer.
The Overall Prevalence of Metastasis in T1 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Analysis of 295 Patients
TLDR
This study provides a precise assessment of the comprehensive risk of metastasis and feasible predictive markers for T1 ESCC.
Expression of the gamma(2) chain of laminin-5 at the invasive front is associated with recurrence and poor prognosis in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
TLDR
The results suggest that the laminin gamma(2) chain plays a key role in the progression of esophageal carcinoma and that its detection is useful for the prediction of recurrence and poor prognosis.
The Prognostic Impact of Lymph Node Involvement in Large Scale Operable Node-Positive Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients: A 10-Year Experience
TLDR
The number of metastatic LNs but also the number of involved LN regions predicts outcomes after definitive surgery among Chinese patients with N-positive ESCC, and LNR might serve as a powerful indicator that should be included in TNM staging for EC patients.
