Carboplatin/paclitaxel, E7-vaccination and intravaginal CpG as tri-therapy towards efficient regression of genital HPV16 tumors

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) are responsible for genital and oral cancers associated with the expression of the E6/E7 HPV oncogenes. Therapeutic vaccines targeting those oncogenes can only partially control tumor progression, highlighting the neces ...

Method for determining cancer invasiveness and patient prognosis

Douglas Hanahan, Leanne Li

A method for determining the prognosis for survival of a patient having cancer is disclosed, said cancer being altered (i.e. highly activated or alternatively inactive/inhibited) in the NMDAR signalling pathway, said method comprising determining the expre ...

Screening-based approach to discover effective platinum-based chemotherapies for cancers with poor prognosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Hristo Plamenov Varbanov

Drug combinations are extensively used to treat cancer and are often selected according to complementary mechanisms. Here, we describe a cell-based high-throughput screening assay for identification of synergistic combinations between broadly applied plati ...

Synaptic proximity enables NMDAR signalling to promote brain metastasis

Graham Knott, Douglas Hanahan, Brian Donal McCabe, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Inti Zlobec, Iacovos Michael, Qiqun Zeng, Wei Jiao, Giovanni Ciriello, Peng Zhang

Metastasis-the disseminated growth of tumours in distant organs-underlies cancer mortality. Breast-to-brain metastasis (B2BM) is a common and disruptive form of cancer and is prevalent in the aggressive basal-like subtype, but is also found at varying freq ...

The role of Snail in non-small cell lung cancer

Svenja Johanna Groeneveld

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program frequently reactivated in cancer. It plays an important role in several aspects of tumor progression, particularly in the acquisition of invasive capacities facilitating metastasis. ...

Improvement of breast cancer diagnosis through microfluidics

Huu Tuan Nguyen

In breast cancer, 15-20% of cases are reported with overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) that causes rapid cancer progression and poor prognosis. Fortunately, HER2-targeted therapy using specific antibodies such as Trastuzumab ...

Is detection of intraperitoneal exfoliated tumor cells after surgical resection of rectal cancer a prognostic factor of survival?

Paul Refinetti, Per Olaf Ekstrom

Background: The prognostic significance of free cancer cells detected in peritoneal fluid at the time of rectal surgery remains unclear. A substantial number of patients will develop metastatic disease even with successful local treatment. This prospective ...

RIP4 inhibits STAT3 signaling to sustain lung adenocarcinoma differentiation

Nadine Fournier, Paolo Angelino, Etienne Meylan, Mauro Delorenzi, Alessandra Piersigilli, Jawahar Kopparam, Johanna Pauline Chiffelle

Loss of epithelial differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling are known to facilitate cancer progression and are associated with poor prognosis in patients with lung cancer. We have identified Receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein ki ...

Inducing Differentiation of Premalignant Hepatic Cells as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy in Hepatocarcinoma

Benita Wolf

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths and is reported to be resistant to chemotherapy caused by tumor-initiating cells. These tumor-initiating cells express stem cell markers. An accumulation of tumor-i ...

Guidance molecule SEMA3A restricts tumor growth by differentially regulating the proliferation of tumor-associated macrophages

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Margarita Bartish, Tatjana Wallmann

Accumulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) correlates with malignant progression, immune suppression and poor prognosis. In this study, we defined a critical role for the cell-surface guidance molecule SEMA3A in differential proliferative control o ...
