A randomized study of immunotherapy with low-dose subcutaneous interleukin-2 plus melat... - 1 views

  •  
    Average progression-free time and percentage of patients alive at 1 year was significantly higher in those using IL-2 and melatonin compared to chemotherapy in aggressive NSCLC. Of note, in this study, they used a repeat cycle of IL-2 and MLT as well as a once/week maintenance IL-2 and MLT.

Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) to sarcoma in recurrent lung adeno... - 0 views

  • facilitates the dissemination of cancer cells to distant organs. In addition to facilitating metastasis, EMT is thought to generate cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are generally resistant to apoptosis and to standard chemotherapeutic drugs and radiotherapy
  • IL‐6, which enhances TGF‐β‐induced EMT changes in NSCLC
  • aside from TGF‐β and Snail, several other signalling pathways including Notch, Wnt, and integrin are known to activate EMT through transcriptional repression of E‐cadherin
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • increasing evidence that treatment with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy can induce EMT in NSCLC which in turn is thought to generate CSCs which are generally resistant to such treatments
  • cisplatin has been shown to increase the release of Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β)
  • EMT confers an invasive phenotype and
  • IL‐6 serves to block apoptosis in cells
  •  
    Chemotherapy causes EMT.

O2⋅− and H2O2-Mediated Disruption of Fe Metabolism Causes the Differential Su... - 0 views

  •  
    IV vitamin C shown to have selective cytotoxicity, no surprise, on lung cancer and glioblastoma cells via H2O2, while at the same time safe to other cells.

  •  
    Great read and synopsis of the interaction between vitamin C and the altered redox balance in cancer cells. The process involves Fe in part. Ascorbate increases H2O2 which increases the label Fe pool.

Update on Programmed Death-1 and Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Inhibition in the Treatment ... - 0 views

  • Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), the first immune checkpoint receptor to be clinically targeted, is exclusively expressed on the surface of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in lymphatic tissue and is involved in T-cell regulation, proliferation, and tolerance
  • programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies, which restores T-cell effector function and augments the host anti-tumor response by blocking the binding of either programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and/or PD-L2 to PD-1 receptors
  • lung cancer is the first and second cause of cancer mortality in men and women

  • Eighty-five percent of lung cancers are non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

30-day mortality after systemic anticancer treatment for breast and lung cancer in Engl... - 0 views

  • Our data also suggest that 30-day mortality might be higher than previously estimated by several clinical trials.9, 10 The 30-day mortality rate after SACT with curative intent for NSCLC reported here is high at 3% compared with published trial data for the standard treatments, which suggested that 0·8% of patients died from treatment-induced toxicity when chemotherapy was given as adjuvant treatment alongside surgery
  • findings of clinical trials in selected age cohorts cannot readily be generalised to all patients
  •  
    Population study from England finds significant increase in mortality in first 30 days of chemotherapy in breast and lung cancer treatment.  The previously published trial dat was 0.8%; this study was as high as 3%.  This cast doubt as to the inference of the risk from clinical trials to the general population.
