Опубликована: Июнь 22, 2022

Breast cancer is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disease with multiple subtypes. The classification of these subtypes has evolved over the years. most common widely accepted breast from an immunohistochemical perspective, based on expression following hormone receptors: estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) human epidermal growth factor (HER2). Accordingly, four are recognized: luminal A, B, HER2-positive, triple negative. With recent advances in research, increased molecular understanding cancer, current clinical model for may be benefit addition several markers such as miRNAs (let-7, miR-155, miR-150, miR-153) mutations (p53, BRCA 1 2 genes). This chapter provides overview characteristics cancer.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes for treatment of solid tumors: It takes two to tango?

Frontiers in Immunology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Окт. 28, 2022

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), frontline soldiers of the adaptive immune system, are recruited into tumor site to fight against tumors. However, their small number and reduced activity limit ability overcome tumor. Enhancement TILs tumors has been interest for a long time. A lack knowledge about microenvironment (TME) limited success in primary TIL therapies. Although advent engineered T cells revolutionized immunotherapy methods hematologic cancers, heterogeneity solid warrants application with wide range specificity. Recent advances understanding TME, exhaustion, checkpoints have paved way therapy regimens. Nowadays, regained attention as safe personalized immunotherapy, currently, several clinical trials evaluating efficacy patients who failed conventional immunotherapies. Gaining favorable outcomes following metastatic melanoma, cervical cancer, ovarian breast cancer raised hope refractory tumors, too. Nevertheless, procedures face challenges, such high cost, timely expansion, technical challenges selecting activating cells. Herein, we reviewed recent discussed perspectives.

International Journal of Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 18(6), С. 2609 - 2626

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2022

Breast cancer rises as the most commonly diagnosed in 2020.Among women, breast ranks first both incidence rate and mortality.Treatment resistance developed from current clinical therapies limits efficacy of therapeutic outcomes, thus new treatment approaches are urgently needed.Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a type immunotherapy adoptive transfer, which typically uses patients' own immune cells to combat cancer.CAR-T armed with specific antibodies recognize antigens self-tumor eliciting cytotoxic effects.In recent years, CAR-T has achieved remarkable successes treating hematologic malignancies; however, effects solid tumors not up expectations including cancer.This review aims discuss development preclinical studies ongoing trials.Specifically, we summarize tumor-associated cancer, trials, obstacles interfering therapy, potential strategies improve efficacy.Overall, hope our provides landscape view progress for ignites interest further research directions.

Biomarkers in Breast Cancer: An Old Story with a New End

Genes, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(7), С. 1364 - 1364

Опубликована: Июнь 28, 2023

Breast cancer is the second most frequent in world. It a heterogeneous disease and leading cause of mortality women. Advances molecular technologies allowed for identification new more specifics biomarkers breast diagnosis, prognosis, risk prediction, enabling personalized treatments, improving therapy, preventing overtreatment, undertreatment, incorrect treatment. Several have been identified and, along with traditional biomarkers, they can assist physicians throughout treatment plan increase therapy success. Despite need data to improve specificity determine real clinical utility some others are already established be used as guide make decisions. In this review, we summarize available traditional, novel, potential while also including gene expression profiles, single-cell polyploid giant cells. We hope help understand tumor specific characteristics support decision-making patient-personalized management, consequently outcome.

Exploring Biomarkers in Breast Cancer: Hallmarks of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-Up in Clinical Practice

Medicina, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 60(1), С. 168 - 168

Опубликована: Янв. 17, 2024

Breast cancer is a prevalent malignancy in the present day, particularly affecting women as one of most common forms cancer. A significant portion patients initially with localized disease, for which curative treatments are pursued. Conversely, another substantial segment diagnosed metastatic has worse prognosis. Recent years have witnessed profound transformation prognosis this latter group, primarily due to discovery various biomarkers and emergence targeted therapies. These biomarkers, encompassing serological, histological, genetic indicators, demonstrated their value across multiple aspects breast management. They play crucial roles initial diagnosis, aiding detection relapses during follow-up, guiding application treatments, offering valuable insights prognostic stratification, especially highly aggressive tumor types. Molecular markers now become keystone given diverse array chemotherapy options treatment modalities available. signify transformative shift arsenal therapeutic against Their diagnostic precision enables categorization tumors elevated risks recurrence, increased aggressiveness, heightened mortality. Furthermore, existence therapies tailored target specific molecular anomalies triggers cascade changes behavior. Therefore, primary objective article offer comprehensive review clinical, diagnostic, prognostic, utility principal currently use, well clinical impact on In doing so, our goal contribute more comprehension complex disease and, ultimately, enhance patient outcomes through precise effective strategies.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in world, and its metastasis main cause of death breast patients. However, differences between primary tissue lymphatic node, bone, brain metastases at single-cell level are not fully understood. We analyzed microenvironment heterogeneity samples (n = 4), node 3), bone 2) using sequencing data from GEO database. The epithelial cells were characterized by InferCNV algorithm. cell-cell communication was CellChat package. biological function cell subpopulations gene set variation analysis. expression STMN1 immunohistochemical staining. proportion pCAFs explored multispectral identified seven clusters metastatic (Lymphatic brain, metastases) analyzing transcriptomic profiles. T-NK B dominated with metastasis, whereas fibroblasts prevalent cancer. five T (T memory, CD8 + cells, regulatory natural killer CD4 cells), three (naïve memory plasma cancer-associated (CAFs) (Smooth muscle (SMC), pericyte, antigen-presenting CAFs (apCAFs), proliferative (pCAFs), matrix (mCAFs)). Notably. metastasis. Furthermore, we four subpopulations: G0, G1, G2, G3.

Over the last few years, a great advance has been made in comprehension of molecular pathogenesis underlying thyroid cancer progression, particularly for papillary (PTC), which represents most common malignancy. Putative driver mutations have identified more than 98% PTC, and new PTC classification into subtypes proposed order to resolve clinical uncertainties still present management patients. Additionally, prognostic stratification systems profoundly modified over decade, with view refine patients' staging being able choose approach tailored on single patient's needs. Here, we will briefly discuss recent changes nodules, review current patients by analyzing promising clinicopathological features (i.e., gender, auto-immunity, multifocality, histological variants, vascular invasion) as well markers BRAF/TERT promoter mutations, miRNAs, components plasminogen activating system) potentially capable ameliorating prognosis
