Implications of social isolation during cancer treatment: The implications of residence away from home during cancer treatment on patients’ experiences: a comparative study

, 2001
With the centralisation and specialisation of cancer services, patients may have to travel considerable distances and stay away from their homes during treatment. This paper describes a comparative study that sought to identify the effects on patients of

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Prognostic role of adjuvant radiotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer: A historical cohort study [PDF]

, 2015
The value of adjuvant radiotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is currently debated. We assessed the association between adjuvant radiotherapy and survival in a large cohort of Asian women with TNBC.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Are treatment plans optimized on the basis of acuros XB dose calculation robust against anatomic changes during online adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer regarding dose homogeneity?

Radiation Oncology
Introduction The Acuros XB dose calculation algorithm implements advanced modelling of lateral electron transport, making dose distributions sensitive to density changes between source and subsequent CT.

Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.

, 2020
The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Genetic susceptibility association between viral infection and colorectal cancer risk: a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis

Infectious Agents and Cancer
Background The genetic susceptibility association between viral infection and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been established. Methods We conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide association study (GWAS ...
