Potential of Targeting Bone Metastases with Immunotherapies_Crimson Publishers

Potential of Targeting Bone Metastases with Immunotherapies by Kähkönen TE in Journal of Cancer Research

 

Crimson Publishers_ Novel Approaches in Cancer Study

Cancer-related bone metastases are incurable and cause high mortality in patients. Immunotherapies have been evaluated in large-scale clinical trials with advanced cancer patients, but effects on bone metastases have not been specified. This mini review introduces case reports where patients with bone metastases have been treated with immunotherapies and local effects on tumor growth have been assessed. Potential skeletal-related adverse effects of immunotherapies are also discussed.

Recent Advances in the Therapeutic Approaches of Glioblastoma Multiforme_Crimson Publishers

  Recent Advances in the Therapeutic Approaches of Glioblastoma Multiforme by Siddharth Shah in  in Novel Approaches in Cancer Study Abstract Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM, WHO grade IV) is one of the most aggressive, invasive, and lethal intracranial neoplasms, with a low post-diagnosis survival rate. Standard-of-care treatment regimens involving maximal surgical resection, radiotherapy, and genetic anti-tumor compounds like Temozolomide have only been marginally effective in improving overall survival and quality of life. Cell fusion, autophagy, and other complex biological processes affecting GBM pathophysiology are being studied to improve GBM treatment. This paper therefore focuses on oncolytic virus therapy combined with surgical resection, photodynamic therapy, and novel gene therapy, demonstrating how GBM treatment for patients could result in immediate and authentic tumor cytotoxicity and removal, rather than treatment of recurrent GBM. Standard therapy for GBM,...

Release of Inorganic Phosphate into the Tumor Environment: Possible Roles of Ecto- Nucleotidases and Ecto-Phosphatases

Abstract Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for several biochemical reaction. Serum Pi is maintained at relatively narrow range concentrations, between 0.7 and 1.55mM. Tumor microenvironment presents a high Pi concentration (1.8±0.2mM Pi) and this could be associated wi the rapid growth in the “Growth Rate Hypothesis”. Several studies have identified high expression of Pi transporters in various tumor tissues. Similarly, ecto-enzymes (like ecto-nucleotidases or ecto- phosphates) act by dephosphorylating phosphosubstrates in the extracellular environment, and its high expression has been observed in various types of cancer. Little is known about the function of these ecto-enzymes on Pi releasing and accumulation in the tumor environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to correlate a possible contribution of the Pi release in the tumor microenvironment by ecto-nucleotidases and ecto-phosphatases, concomitant to the regulation of Pi extracellular pool by specific Pi...
