T Cell Metabolism and Cancer Immunotherapy investigates the cellular regulation of T-cell immunity and tolerance. Most effort is being expended to develop and optimize strategies for utilizing highly reactive T lymphocytes for cell-based therapies. Because of the plasticity and potentially unlimited capacity for self-renewal, stem cell-derived T lymphocytes have great potential in the treatment of diseases including cancer. Despite great advancement in immunotherapy such as adoptive T cell transfer-based regimen, the clinical outcomes remain less satisfactory due to a variety of factors that lessen its therapeutic efficacy. By determining the role and importance of T cell metabolism in the r...
This compendium is intended to be the first updated review of most of the clinical situations that cancer patients may present. It identifies the clinical picture and the therapeutic orientation, with the degrees of recommendation and evidence, as well as the direct bibliographic reference for each statement. We took a multidisciplinary approach, with the collaboration of 261 authors from 9 countries, 45 hospitals and 19 medical and non-medical specialties. This compendium (IOC 2022) is the result of the effort and innovative spirit of its authors, will be updated every two years. The first international edition of cancer care support based on real world evidence (RWE) contains all the latest news in cancer care support treatment and assigns levels of evidence and grades of recommendation so that the reader can obtain a quick impression and certainty of each of the treatments and strategies presented. The GRADE and OXFORD scales have been used for the levels of evidence.
This book reviews the potential of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in research on and management of colorectal cancer (CRC), a leading cause of death worldwide and one of the most biologically and clinically heterogeneous cancers. It critically discusses findings from recent large-scale studies, clinical trials and meta-analyses and offers an introduction to the management of CRC in the era of precision medicine. In CRC, dozens of driver and passenger mutations are associated with the malignant transformation of epithelial cells. Consequently, the book discusses recent advances in our understanding of the genetics of CRC as a biomarker, the advent of NGS technologies in modern genomics, and...
Gastric cancer (GC) represents a serious health problem on a global scale. Despite some recent advances in the field, the prognosis in GC remains poor. A better understanding of molecular biology, which would lead to improved treatment options, is needed. Many potential biomarkers of prognostic significance have been identified. However, inhibition of only HER2 protein has led to a modest survival benefit. A deeper understanding of the pathogenesis and biological features of gastric cancer, including the identification and characterization of diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and therapeutic biomarkers, hopefully will provide improved clinical outcomes. This Research Topic aims to provide ...
Principles of Immunotherapy in Breast and Gastrointestinal Cancers: Activity, Mechanisms of Resistance and New Sensitization Strategies presents updated research findings on immunotherapy, with special focus on the mechanisms of resistance of those cancer types and how to overcome them. The book discusses topics such as tumor cell-intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of cancer resistance to immunotherapy; the role of currently available biomarkers; strategies to overcome therapeutic resistance; sensitizing agents for cancer resistance to cell mediated immunotherapy; and Immunotherapeutic approaches, mechanisms of resistance and sensitizing strategies in gastroesophageal and biliopancreatic tum...
