Residual tumor cells that drive disease relapse after chemotherapy do not have enhanced tumor initiating capacity. [PDF]
Although chemotherapy is used to treat most advanced solid tumors, recurrent disease is still the major cause of cancer-related mortality. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been the focus of intense research in recent years because they provide a possible ...

Expression of TIM3/VISTA checkpoints and the CD68 macrophage-associated marker correlates with anti-PD1/PDL1 resistance: implications of immunogram heterogeneity. [PDF]
Although immunotherapies have achieved remarkable salutary effects among subgroups of advanced cancers, most patients do not respond. We comprehensively evaluated biomarkers associated with the "cancer-immunity cycle" in the pan-cancer setting in order ...

Inducers of epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells in malignant pleural effusions [PDF]
The Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) plays a role not only in tumor metastasis but also in tumor recurrence. This process is believed to be tightly linked to the presence of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) however, it is still not clear which ...

LGR5 is associated with tumor aggressiveness in papillary thyroid cancer. [PDF]
PurposeLeucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is a cancer stem cell marker and a down-stream target in Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In human papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), over activation of Wnt/β-catenin has been associated with

Gene and protein expression of glucose transporter 1 and glucose transporter 3 in human laryngeal cancer—the relationship with regulatory hypoxia-inducible factor-1α expression, tumor invasiveness, and patient prognosis [PDF]
Increased glucose uptake mediated by glucose transporters and reliance on glycolysis are common features of malignant cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α supports the adaptation of hypoxic cells by inducing genes related to glucose metabolism.

Since 1996, the nine ISOBM Workshops have so far characterized more than 300 monoclonal antibodies to a variety of tumor markers that include CA125, AFP, PSA, MUC1, Cytokeratins, Sialyl Le(a), hCG, CEA, ALP, and more recently SCC, and S100. Besides the basic characterization of antibodies and their epitope configurations, several workshops have also ...

Exploiting the neoantigen landscape for immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Immunotherapy approaches for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have met with limited success. It has been postulated that a low mutation load may lead to a paucity of T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME).
