Tumors are equipped with a highly complex machinery of interrelated events so as to adapt hazardous conditions, preserve growing cell mass and thrive at the site metastasis. Tumor cells display metastatic propensity toward specific organs where stromal milieu is appropriate for their further colonization. Effective colonization relies on plasticity tumor in adapting conditions new area by reshaping epigenetic landscape. Breast cancer cells, instance, able adopt brain-like or epithelial/osteoid features order pursue effective metastasis into brain bone, respectively. The aim this review discuss recent insights organ tropism metastasis, outlining potential strategies address driver aggressiveness.

Propolis is a natural material that honey bees (Apis mellifera) produce from various botanical sources. The therapeutic activity of propolis, including antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects, have been known since antiquity. Cancer one the major burdens disease worldwide, therefore, numerous studies are being conducted to develop new chemotherapeutic agents treatments for cancer. rich source biologically active compounds, which affect signaling pathways regulating crucial cellular processes. results latest research show propolis can inhibit proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis cancer cells stimulate apoptosis. Moreover, it may influence tumor microenvironment multidrug resistance cancers. This review briefly summarizes molecular mechanisms anticancer its compounds highlights potential benefits reduce side effects chemotherapy radiotherapy.

Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small subset of in tumors that are characterized by self-renewal and continuous proliferation, lead to tumorigenesis, metastasis, maintain tumor heterogeneity. continues be significant global disease burden. In the past, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy were main cancer treatments. The technology treatments develop advance, emergence targeted therapy, immunotherapy provides more options for patients certain extent. However, limitations efficacy treatment resistance still inevitable. Our review begins with brief introduction historical discoveries, original hypotheses, pathways regulate CSCs, such as WNT/β-Catenin, hedgehog, Notch, NF-κB, JAK/STAT, TGF-β, PI3K/AKT, PPAR pathway, their crosstalk. We focus on role CSCs various therapeutic outcomes resistance, including how affect content alteration related molecules, CSCs-mediated clinical value targeting refractory, progressed or advanced tumors. summary, efficacy, method is difficult determine. Clarifying regulatory mechanisms biomarkers currently mainstream idea.

Abstract The primary reason for high mortality rates among cancer patients is metastasis, where tumor cells migrate through the bloodstream from original site to other parts of body. Recent advancements in technology have significantly enhanced our comprehension mechanisms behind bloodborne spread circulating (CTCs). One critical process, DNA methylation, regulates gene expression and chromosome stability, thus maintaining dynamic equilibrium Global hypomethylation locus-specific hypermethylation are examples changes methylation patterns that pivotal carcinogenesis. This comprehensive review first provides an overview various processes contribute formation CTCs, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), immune surveillance, colonization. We then conduct in-depth analysis how modifications within CTCs impact each these stages during CTC dissemination. Furthermore, we explored potential clinical implications with cancer. By understanding epigenetic modifications, can gain insights into metastatic process identify new biomarkers early detection, prognosis, targeted therapies. aims bridge gap between basic research application, highlighting significance context metastasis offering avenues improving patient outcomes.

Abstract Solid cancers comprise a large number of new cases and deaths from cancer each year globally. There are strategies for addressing tumors raised solid organs including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, combinational stem cell extracellular vesicle (EV) therapy. Surgery, chemotherapy the dominant cures, but not always effective, in which even localized tumor there is possibility relapse after surgical resection. Over half patients will receive radiotherapy as part their therapeutic schedule. Radiotherapy can cause an abscopal response boosting activity immune system outside local field radiation, it may also unwanted bystander effect, predisposing nonradiated cells into carcinogenesis. In context checkpoint inhibition known standard‐of‐care, major concern regard with cold that show low responses to such Stem‐cell therapy be used send prodrugs toward area; this strategy, however, has its own predicaments, attraction other sites healthy tissues instability. A substitute quite novel strategy use EVs, by virtue stability potential cross biological barriers long‐term storage contents. Combination current focus. Despite advances field, still unmet concerns area effective raising challenges opportunities future investigations.

Abstract Cold tumors generally show low mutational burden and infiltration of effector T cells. The pancreas, prostate, ovary, breast, colon are placed into the category cold tumors. In such tumors, cells either excluded from tumor area or taken away being in contact with stromal reaction form desmoplasia is important for pathogenesis like pancreas. Besides acting as a barrier penetration drugs area, dense stroma presumably creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME), which accounts responses to immunotherapy. Cancer stem (CSCs) part complex within TME. presence CSCs TME related negatively activity antitumor immune system. Here, question how desmoplastic aggregates can influence functionality promoting pancreatic immunity? This review aimed at responding this question, disruption be effective strategy improving
