BackgroundStereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) represents a minimally invasive and valuable alternative for jugular foramen schwannomas (JFS), both as upfront and/or adjuvant treatment (in hybrid approaches).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of our cas ...

Melanomas are among the deadliest cancers, with a high predisposition to metastasis and a bad prognosis in their late stages. The effectiveness of current therapeutic regimens remains suboptimal, and despite initial successes, treatment resistance emerges ...

Metabolic reprogramming is critical for tumor initiation and progression. However, the exact impact of specific metabolic changes on cancer progression is poorly understood. Here, we integrate multimodal analyses of primary and metastatic clonally-related ...

Nowadays, photobiomodulation (PBM) in combination with chemotherapy or other therapeutic approaches is an attractive adjuvant modality for cancer treatment. Targeted destruction of cancer cells is one of the main ad-vantages of photodynamic therapy (PDT). ...

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has shown great potential in cancer treatment for inducing photothermal ablation and eliciting immune responses. However, PTT-triggered antitumor immunity is severely hampered by the dynamic amplification of programmed cell death ...

Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leucocytes and are essential for innate immunity. In cancer, pro- or antitumor properties have been attributed to tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN). Here, focusing on TAN accumulation within lung tumors, we id ...

Immune stimulatory antibodies and cytokines elicit potent antitumor immunity. However, the dose-limiting systemic toxicity greatly hinders their clinical applications. Here, we demonstrate a chemical approach, termed "switchable" immune modulator (Sw-IM), ...

Cancer immunotherapies are increasingly combined with targeted therapies to improve therapeutic outcomes. We show that combination of agonistic anti-CD40 with antiangiogenic antibodies targeting 2 proangiogenic factors, vascular endothelial growth factor A ...

Background Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer related to asbestos exposure. The tumor microenvironment content, particularly the presence of macrophages, was described as crucial for the development of the disease. This wo ...

Lung cancers represent the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. These pulmonary cancers count several histological subgroups, whose non-small cell lung cancers, subject of our study. We were precisely interested in the most common subtype of n ...

Macrophages sustain tumour progression by facilitating angiogenesis, promoting immunosuppression, and enhancing cancer cell invasion and metastasis. They also modulate tumour response to anti-cancer therapy in pre-clinical models. This knowledge has motiva ...

Notch pathway signaling is implicated in several human cancers. Aberrant activation and mutations of Notch signaling components are linked to tumor initiation, maintenance, and resistance to cancer therapy. Several strategies, such as monoclonal antibodies ...

Functional studies giving insight into the biology of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) remain scarce due to the low frequency ofCTCs and lack of appropriate models. Here, we describe the characterization of a novelCTC-derived breast cancer cell line, designa ...

A series of Cu(diimine)(X-sal)(NO3) complexes, where the diimine is either 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and X-sal is a monoanionic halogenated salicylaldehyde (X = Cl, Br, I, or H), have been synthesized and characterized by elementa ...

Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapies provide survival benefits to breast cancer patients, in particular in estrogen receptor negative (ER-) cancers, by reducing rates of recurrences. It is assumed that the benefits of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy are due ...

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. ...

Bone marrow-derived myeloid cells can accumulate within tumors and foster cancer outgrowth. Local immune-neoplastic interactions have been intensively investigated, but the contribution of the systemic host environment to tumor growth remains poorly unders ...

Background: The growth of tumor cells is accompanied by mutations in nuclear and mitochondrial genomes creating marked genetic heterogeneity. Tumors also contain non-tumor cells of various origins. An observed somatic mitochondrial mutation would have occu ...

In diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been recognized as a useful and sensitive surrogate for cell density, paving the way for non-invasive tumor staging, and characterization of treatment efficacy in cancer. How ...
