Myeloid suppressor cell depletion augments antitumor activity in lung cancer. [PDF]
BackgroundMyeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are important regulators of immune responses. We evaluated the mechanistic role of MDSC depletion on antigen presenting cell (APC), NK, T cell activities and therapeutic vaccination responses in murine ...

Locoregional treatment of de novo stage IV breast cancer in the era of modern oncology
Approximately 6% of metastatic breast cancers arise de novo. While systemic therapy (ST) remains the treatment backbone as for patients with metachronous metastases, locoregional treatment (LRT) of the primary tumor remains a controversial method.

Does asymptomatic primary tumor need to be removed in unresectable metastatic colon cancer?
Every third colorectal cancer patient has inoperable metastatic disease upon diagnosis. And quite often the primary tumor is asymptomatic. The question stands for surgeon and medical oncologist, whether to proceed with upfront surgery or systemic ...

Regulation of Immunity in Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma: Role of PD-1, PD-L1, and PD-L2
Regulation of immunity is a unique oncogenic mechanism that differs in different cancers. VHL deficient clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) trigger the immune response resulting in cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate PD-1, PD-L1, and
