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 ...

Mapping distribution of brain metastases: does the primary tumor matter?
Purpose Prior reports on the location and sizes of brain metastases almost entirely focus on patients with primary breast and pulmonary cancer. This is the first study comparing multiple other types of cancer that metastasize to the brain.

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.

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

The acceleration of metastases after tumor removal and the paradoxical phenomenon of concomitant tumor resistance [PDF]
Although surgical extirpation of tumors is usually clinically recommended, tumor removal may entail an undesired side effect: the risk of accelerating the growth of metastases.

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 ...
