Breast cancer (BC) therapy has fundamentally progressed in the last 30 years with the change from radical mastectomy to recent individualized local and systemic therapy regimens. By combining the modern treatment modalities, approximately 77 % of BC patients can be cured, still leaving potential for optimization in 23 % of cases, which will develop ...

Circulating tumor cells in genitourinary tumors [PDF]
Management of advanced urogenital malignancies has profoundly changed in recent years due to the development of novel targeted drugs that have significantly improved patient’s clinical outcomes. This process has been made possible mainly thanks to better knowledge of tumor genetic alterations and molecular altered pathways.

The approval of monoclonal antibodies against programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death protein (PD1) has changed the landscape of cancer treatment. To date, many immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved by the FDA for the

The importance of circulating tumor products as „liquid biopsies” in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Liquid biopsies represent an array of plasma analysis tests that are studied to evaluate and identify circulating tumor products, especially circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

CTC-Derived Models: A Window into the Seeding Capacity of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)
Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related death owing to the blood-borne dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) early in the process.

The rationale for liquid biopsy in colorectal cancer: focus on circulating tumor cells [PDF]
Capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and/or circulating tumor DNA from blood, which represents a precious source of biological material derived from both primary and metastatic tumors, has been named a 'liquid biopsy'. While the circulating tumor DNA

The PD-1/PD-L1 axis provides CTCs an escape route from the immune system. Phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6 is implicated in the same pathway, following mTOR activation. The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of PD-L1 and pS6 in

(1) Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of EMT-associated (TWIST1) and stem-cell (SC) transcript (CD24, CD44, ALDH1) quantification in EpCAM+ circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of early breast cancer patients.

Circulating tumor cells isolation: The “post-EpCAM era” [PDF]
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent a submicroscopic fraction detached from a primary tumor and in transit to a secondary site. The prognostic significance of CTCs in metastatic cancer patients was demonstrated for the first time more than ten years

MiRNAs as novel adipokines : obesity-related circulating MiRNAs influence chemosensitivity in cancer patients [PDF]
Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ, capable of regulating distant physiological processes in other tissues via the release of adipokines into the bloodstream.
