Efficacy and safety of anticancer drug combinations: a meta-analysis of randomized trials with a focus on immunotherapeutics and gene-targeted compounds. [PDF]
Hundreds of trials are being conducted to evaluate combination of newer targeted drugs as well as immunotherapy. Our aim was to compare efficacy and safety of combination versus single non-cytotoxic anticancer agents. We searched PubMed (01/01/2001 to 03/

ERAP1 overexpression in HPV-induced malignancies: A possible novel immune evasion mechanism
Immune evasion of tumors poses a major challenge for immunotherapy. For human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced malignancies, multiple immune evasion mechanisms have been described, including altered expression of antigen processing machinery (APM) components.

Beyond the immune suppression: the immunotherapy in prostate cancer [PDF]
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men.Aswell in many other human cancers, inflammation and immune suppression have an important role in their development.We briefly describe the host components that interact with the tumor to ...

Therapeutic vaccination using minimal HPV16 epitopes in a novel MHC-humanized murine HPV tumor model
Therapeutic vaccination as a treatment option for HPV-induced cancers is actively pursued because the two HPV proteins E6 and E7 represent ideal targets for immunotherapy, as they are non-self and expressed in all tumor stages.

Stochastic and parameter analysis for an integrative cancer model [PDF]
In a previous work, we presented a model that integrates cancer cell differentiation and immunotherapy, analysing a particular therapy against cancer stem cells by cytotoxic cell vaccines. As every biological system is exposed to random fluctuations, it is important to study its stochasticity.

Role of noninvasive molecular imaging in determining response [PDF]
The intersection of immunotherapy and radiation oncology is a rapidly evolving area of preclinical and clinical investigation. The strategy of combining radiation and immunotherapy to enhance local and systemic antitumor immune responses is intriguing ...

Distinct immune signatures in directly treated and distant tumors result from TLR adjuvants and focal ablation. [PDF]
Both adjuvants and focal ablation can alter the local innate immune system and trigger a highly effective systemic response. Our goal is to determine the impact of these treatments on directly treated and distant disease and the mechanisms for the ...

A mathematical model of Breast cancer (ER+) with excess estrogen: Mixed treatments using Ketogenic diet, endocrine therapy and Immunotherapy [PDF]
Breast Cancer is a major public health problem and the most common diagnosed malignancy in woman. There have been significant developments in clinical approaches and theoretical experimental to understand the interactions of cancer cells dynamics with the immune system, also developments on analytical and computational models to help provide insights ...

Study of dose-dependent combination immunotherapy using engineered T cells and IL-2 in cervical cancer [PDF]
Adoptive T cell based immunotherapy is gaining significant traction in cancer treatment. Despite its limited success, so far, in treating solid cancers, it is increasingly successful, demonstrating to have a broader therapeutic potential. In this paper we develop a mathematical model to study the efficacy of engineered T cell receptor (TCR) T cell ...
