Pausing transplants in the face of a global pandemic: Patient survival implications
Production and Operations Management, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1380-1396, May 2023., 2023 Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has disrupted normal operating procedures at transplant centers. With the possibility that COVID‐19 infection carries an overall 4% mortality rate and potentially a 24% mortality rate among the immunocompromised transplant recipients, many transplant centers considered the possibility of slowing

Cancer Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 9627-9636, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positivity is considered a prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, little is known about the effect of HBcAb positivity on surgical safety for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA). The present study aims to investigate the role of HBcAb positivity on postoperative complications of hCCA ...

Engineering the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer [PDF]
, 2014 The tumor microenvironment contributes significantly to the clinical prognosis, especially in CRC. Infiltration by cells from the adaptive immune system (e.g. CD8) has been linked to a better survival independently of TNM-stage.

Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy sensitizes tumor cells to TRAIL-dependent CD8 T cell-mediated immune attack resulting in suppression of tumor growth [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Anti-cancer chemotherapy can be simultaneously lymphodepleting and immunostimulatory. Pre-clinical models clearly demonstrate that chemotherapy can synergize with immunotherapy, raising the question how the immune system can be mobilized to ...
