The role of induction and adjuvant chemotherapy in combination with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer: a Bayesian network meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials.

abstract：Background:Sex-determining region Y-box protein 5 (SOX5) has been demonstrated to be implicated in oncogenic function in various types of cancers. However, the role of SOX5 in gastric cancer (GC) remains poorly elucidated. Herein, we investigated the role and the underlying mechanism of SOX5 in GC progression. Methods...
