The development of a new treatment in cancer generally involves its assessment in Phase I, II and III prospective clinical trials. This article gives an overview of these phases of clinical trial, through which almost every new treatment will need to pass on the journey from its discovery on the laboratory bench to its routine use in clinical practice.

Glucocorticoids in clinical oncology
Glucocorticoids have been used in clinical oncology for more than three decades. Their anti-inflammatory action plays a major role in their clinical applications in oncology. The incidence and severity of side effects depend on the total dose and the duration of therapy, but optimal dosages for these drugs have not been determined.

BRAF inhibitors in clinical oncology [PDF]
Activating mutations of the BRAF oncogene are present in approximately 5-10% of all human malignancies and lead to constitutive activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The introduction of BRAF inhibitors has greatly improved the short term prospects of some patients with these tumors, but the tumors tend to become resistant ...

B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...
