Open AccessAssociation between c-type lectin-like receptor 2 and microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer: a cross-sectional study
As a transmembrane protein, C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) is mainly expressed on platelets and released into plasma after platelet activation. Activated platelets participate in the regulation of inna...

Article
Open AccessElevated mean platelet volume predicts poor prognosis in colorectal cancer
Altered mean platelet volume (MPV) is implicated in several malignancies. However, the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of MPV in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still elusive. The purpose of t...

Open AccessLower mean platelet volume predicts poor prognosis in renal cell carcinoma
Altered mean platelet volume (MPV) is found in several malignancies. Remarkably, there is little consensus on using the value of MPV in the prognostic evaluations of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The aim of this...
