Low-dose photodynamic therapy promotes vascular E-selectin expression in chest malignancies, improving immune infiltration and tumor control

Background Chest malignancies such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pleural mesothelioma (PM) have an ominous prognosis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of NSCLC and PM improves patient survival, but the precise underlying mechanism remains unknown. Her ...

Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy Modulates the Immune Microenvironment of Pleural Mesothelioma and Improves the Impact of Dual Immune Checkpoint Inhibition

Paul Joseph Dyson, Aspasia Gkasti, Yameng Hao

Pleural mesothelioma is a fatal disease with limited treatment options. Recently, pleural mesothelioma management has improved with the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). In first-line therapy, dual PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade enhances tumor c ...

Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy to control malignant pleural mesothelioma

Yameng Hao

OBJECTIVE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease that has a poor response to conventional therapy. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC), a treatment combining fever-range hyperthermia with intrapleural cisplatin chemotherapy, ha ...

Low-dose photodynamic therapy promotes a cytotoxic immunological response in a murine model of pleural mesothelioma

Paul Joseph Dyson, Etienne Meylan, Julien Robert Rémi Faget, Aspasia Gkasti, Yameng Hao, Maxime Reichenbach

OBJECTIVES: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a deadly disease with limited treatment options. Approaches to enhance patient immunity against MPM have been tested but shown variable results. Previously, we have demonstrated interesting vascular modul ...
