The first issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians was published in November of 1950. On the 60th anniversary of that date, we briefly review several seminal contributions to oncology and cancer control published in our journal during its first decade.

A note from history: Landmarks in history of cancer, Part 6
TLDR
Although more advances were made in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancers than any other period in history, the overall mortality rate of patients with cancer remained high and unchanged.
Original Article Prognostic significance of interleukin 17 in cancer: a meta-analysis
TLDR
A systematic review and meta-analysis showed that IL-17 has the potential to become a novel prognostic marker in HCC, NSCLC and ESCC and could potentially help to monitor patients' prognosis and assess therapeutic efficacy in clinical treatment.
Prognostic significance of interleukin 17 in cancer: a meta-analysis.

TLDR
A meta-analysis showed that IL-17 has the potential to become a novel prognostic marker in HCC, NSCLC and ESCC, and could potentially help to monitor patients' prognosis and assess therapeutic efficacy in clinical treatment.
Higher expression of calcineurin predicts poor prognosis in unique subtype of ovarian cancer
TLDR
CN is upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues with later-stage and that the expression of CN, CA72–4, and CEA was remarkably associated with poor prognosis in unique subtype of ovarian cancer.
[Researche advances on CIK cells and their clinical use in lung cancer].
TLDR
The basic features and mechanism of CIK cells briefly are introduced, the researches ofCIK cells used in the clinical therapy for lung cancer are summarized and several problems that should be addressed before CIK Cells are widely applied to clinical patients are discussed.
Up-regulated Nrf 2 in colorectal carcinoma and predicts poor prognosis
TLDR
It was found that the expressions of Nrf2, Prdx6 and SOD2 proteins were higher in CRC tissues than in the adjacent non-neoplastic tissues, which resulted in poorer 5-year overall survival outcomes.
Diagnostic value of RASSF1A hypermethylation in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.
Bone Profiling Breast Cancer Patients at Parirenyatwa Radiotherapy Clinic, Zimbabwe
TLDR
Serum bone profile suggests that bone profiles could be a simple tool for assessing prognosis in breast cancer patients, though further research is needed in this setting.
High expression of PFTK1 in cancer cells predicts poor prognosis in colorectal cancer.
TLDR
PFTK1 may be a potential anticancer target and prognostic marker in patients with CRC, and Kaplan‑Meier OS rate and Cox regression analysis revealed that high P FTK1 expression level was an independent prognostic factor of CRC patients.
Comparison of FDG PET/CT and MRI in lymph node staging of endometrial cancer
TLDR
Diagnostic performance of FDG PET/CT was better than MRI for detecting metastatic lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer both by patient basis and lesion basis analyses.

Recommendations on the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines, including who should be vaccinated and at what age, as well as a summary of policy and implementation issues, and implications for screening are discussed.

Tobacco and lung cancer
TLDR
Although the reported studies on this subject all find some relationship between smoking and lung cancer, they disagree so markedly in their measure ment of the size of that relationship as to preclude the possibility that ran dom variability is responsible for the differences.
Early diagnosis and cancer cure rates
TLDR
The present writer is of the opinion that no valid evidence has been presented that should lead one to accept either of the two extremes of the early-diagnosis theory, and that early diagnosis can practically solve the cancer problem, at least for most sites of the disease.
The value of exfoliative cytology in the diagnosis and control of neoplastic disease of the breast
TLDR
Improved results permit a more opti mistic view of the practicability of utiliz ing the cytological method in mass screen ing for the detection of incipient carci noma of the breast.

TLDR
A long overdue revision of the breast cancer staging system becomes effective in January 2003, bringing it more in line with current standards of care and facilitating data collection for future outcome analysis of therapeutic interventions.
Present status and future trends of exfoliative cytology
TLDR
It is only in the last ten years that exfoliative cytology, particularly as applied in the diagnosis of cancer, has received a wide acceptance by the medical profession, and its value and immense potentialities in diagnosis and research have been fully appreciated.
