Cancers of the anal canal are relatively uncommon, and account for less than 1% of all new cancer diagnoses in the UK.1 However, the incidence of these cancers has increased over the past decade, primarily in females, in which they have more than doubled.1 Squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC) is the most common type of anal cancer, with adenocarcinomas, neuroendocrine carcinomas […]
The antitumor activity of immune checkpoint inhibotors in various solid and haematologic malignancies has substantially increased immunotherapy implications for cancer. Once only a niche treatment for selected cancers (renal cancer and melanoma), now cancer immunotherapy has become an important option ...
Cholangiocarcinoma is an epithelial malignancy of the biliary system characterized by cholangiocyte differentiation, and its incidence is on the rise. Currently, cholangiocarcinomas are classified by their anatomical location in the biliary system as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, or hilar cholangiocarcinoma. ...
Q. What is the role of PARP-1 in the pathogenesis of cancer? PARP-1 is a protein that resides in the cell nucleus where it plays a role in most, if not all, nuclear functions (e.g. DNA repair, transcription, RNA ...
Q. What are phosphopeptide tumor targets and why are they good candidates for vaccine and cell therapy development? PTTs are a novel class of neoantigen. They are portions of aberrantly phosphorylated proteins that are presented at the cell surface to ...
Therapeutic cancer vaccination is a promising strategy that aims to treat late stage disease by using the patient’s own immune system.1 The immune system has the potential to eliminate cancer cells, since cancer cells express antigens that are unique ...
Over the last decade, genomics has become an increasingly important part of cancer care. In some tumor types, such as lung cancer and melanoma, genetic profiling for actionable mutations has become standard clinical practice.1,2 The development of novel targeted molecular ...
Introduction Presented by Sean Bohen Oncology is one of the cornerstone therapeutic areas for AstraZeneca, and within the AstraZeneca oncology drug discovery platform there are four main research areas: tumour drivers and resistance, immuno-oncology, antibody conjugates and the DNA damage ...
Q. What are the main aims of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)? The AACR as an organization aims to promote cancer research worldwide. We are the oldest cancer research-focused association in the US, having just celebrated our 110th ...
Ocular melanoma represents a small subset of total melanoma cases. Approximately 3.7% of melanoma cases are ocular,1 and slightly over 80% of ocular melanomas are classified as uveal.1,2 Most uveal melanomas occur from the choroid, with the remainder developing from the ciliary ...
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a cytogenetic, epigenetic, and immunological heterogeneous group of myeloid disorders characterized by dysplastic hematopoeisis and propensity for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) transformation.1,2 The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program estimates that risk factors for the ...
Cancer immunotherapy has come of age and has successfully been implemented as the standard of care in a number of oncologic indications.1 Antibodies targeting cancer-associated antigens on the tumour cell, such as CD20, constituted the first wave of immunotherapies leading ...
Advances have been made in the use of genetically enhanced T cell therapy, in particular, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Such CAR T cells have been shown to be efficacious in erradicating a number of haematologic malignancies.1–3 CARs are ...
