Downregulation of ADAMTSL3 and PTEN displayed poor overall survival (OS) and predicted poor relapse-free survival (RFS), further supporting their tumour-suppressive roles. Moreover, knocking out either the ADAMTSL3 or PTEN genes promoted either the proliferation or metastasis of HCC cells, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Using both in vitro and in vivo approaches, we described the profound role of the ADAMTSL3 and PTEN genes. This study indicates novel candidate targets for use in HCC treatment and therapy.PURPOSE To evaluate the difference in oncologic outcome between vulvar cancer patients with uni- and bilateral inguino-femoral lymph nodal involvement and to identify factors affecting their oncologic outcome MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent inguino-femoral lymphadenectomy for vulvar cancer were classified into three groups according to their lymph nodal status at the histology analysis (negative, positive one side, positive bilaterally). PFS and OS survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze factors predicting overall survival and progression-free survival. Multivariable models were used for variables reporting a p value ≤ 0.1 at the univariate analysis. p values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS One hundred and forty-six patients were considered for the analysis. Patients with bilaterally negative lymph nodes had significantly longer PFS and OS as compared to patients with unilateral and bilateral involvement. Patients with unilateral lymph nodal involvement had better PFS than patients with bilateral lymph nodal involvement. Among these patients, the difference in the OS approached but did not reac
