Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is considered as a standard in the treatment of most solid cancers, including glioblastoma, lung, breast, rectal, prostate, colorectal, cervical, esophageal, and head and neck cancers. The main challenge in RT is tumor cell radioresistance associated with a high risk of locoregional relapse and distant metastasis. Despite significant progress in understanding mechanisms of radioresistance, its prediction and overcoming remain unresolved. This review presents the state-of-the-art for the potential universal biomarkers correlated to the radioresistance and poor outcome in different cancers. We describe radioresistance biomarkers functionally attributed to DNA repair, signal transduction, hypoxia, and angiogenesis. We also focus on high throughput genetic and proteomic studies, which revealed a set of molecular biomarkers related to radioresistance. In conclusion, we discuss biomarkers which are overlapped in most several cancers.

Abstract
Human osteopontin (OPN) is a glycosylated phosphoprotein which is expressed in a variety of tissues in the body. In recent years, accumulating evidence has indicated that the aberrant expression of OPN is closely associated with tumourigensis, progression and most prominently with metastasis in several tumour types. In this review, we present the current knowledge on the expression profiles of OPN and its main splice variants in human cancers, as well as the potential implications in patient outcome. We also discuss its putative clinical application as a cancer biomarker and as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for over 90% of all primary liver cancers. With an ever increasing incidence trend year by year, it has become the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Hepatic resection is generally considered to be one of the most effective therapies for HCC patients, however, there is a high risk of recurrence in postoperative HCC. In clinical practice, there exists an urgent need for valid prognostic markers to identify patients with prognosis, hence the importance of studies on prognostic markers in improving the prediction of HCC prognosis. This review focuses on the most promising immunohistochemical prognostic markers in predicting the postoperative survival of HCC patients.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional cytokine that impacts cell proliferation, survival, drug resistance, invasion, and stem like behavior. Due to its critical involvement in regulating cellular functions, its aberrant expression and/or splicing is functionally responsible for undesirable alterations in disease pathologies, specifically cancer. It is implicated in promoting invasive and metastatic progression of many carcinomas. Due to its autocrine and paracrine activities OPN has been shown to be a crucial mediator of cellular cross talk and an influential factor in the tumor microenvironment. OPN has been implicated as a prognostic and diagnostic marker for several cancer types. It has also been explored as a possible target for treatment. In this article we hope to provide a broad perspective on the importance of OPN in the pathophysiology of cancer.

The prognostic value of osteopontin expression in non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis. J Mol Histol 2014; 45:533-40.

Abstract
To investigate the association of Osteopontin (OPN) expression in tumor tissue with clinicopathological features of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients. Publications assessing the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic significance of OPN in expression NSCLC were identified up to March 2014. A meta-analysis of eligible studies was performed using standard statistical methods to clarify the association between OPN expression and these clinical parameters. A total of eleven studies met the inclusion criteria, and included 1536 cases of NSCLC tumor tissue and 340 cases of normal lung tissue. The OPN expression rate in NSCLC tissue was higher than normal tissue [Odds ratio (OR) 6.427; 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.689-8.808; P = 0.000]. Simultaneously, we also found that OPN expression was positively associated with stage (OR 0.332; 95% CI 0.250-0.440; P = 0.000), lymph node metastasis (OR 3.094; 95% CI 2.295-4.172; P = 0.000), tumor size (tumor size <3 cm vs. ≥3 cm; OR 0.484; 95% CI 0.303-0.773; P = 0.002) and pathology (OR 0.611; 95% CI 0.466-0.800; P = 0.000). It was unrelated that OPN expression in NSCLC tissue with and degree of differentiation and other clinical features (P > 0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, OPN plays a crucial role in the development of NSCLC.
