Clinical, Journal, HEOR: Individualized chemotherapy guided by the expression of ERCC1, RRM1, TUBB3, TYMS and TOP2A genes versus classic chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer: A comparative effectiveness study. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2020 The chemotherapy strategy guided by genetic detection was an independent protection factor for DFS [hazard ratio (HR)=0.389, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.153, 0.989, P=0.047], but not an independent protection factor for OS (HR=0.340, 95% CI: 0.107, 1.078, P=0.067). The results indicate that the combined detection of ERCC1, RRM1, TUBB3, TYMS and TOP2A gene expression and use of the results to guide individualized chemotherapy can improve treatment efficacy and reduce unnecessary toxicity.

Biomarker, Clinical, Journal: Hsa-miR-210-3p expression in breast cancer and its putative association with worse outcome in patients treated with Docetaxel. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 12, 2020 In silico analysis of miR-210-3p and Docetaxel targets provided evidence for a putative molecular cross-talk involving microtubule regulation, drug efflux metabolism and oxidative stress response. Overall, our data point to the miR-210-3p involvement in the response to therapeutic regimens including Docetaxel in sequential therapy with anthracyclines, suggesting it may represent a predictive biomarker in breast cancer patients.

These results suggest, for the first time, that RNA-binding proteins can negatively regulate the exosomal sorting of microRNAs.

There are risk factors associated with higher average losses, such as age 65 years (statistically significant), body mass index (BMI) >25, cisplatin treatment (insufficient number of cases to reach statistical significance).

Review, Journal: Locoregional gastric cancer: a narrative review of multidisciplinary management. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 5, 2020 While advanced locoregional gastric cancer continues to carry significant mortality, several recent studies have added to the armament of treatment options and have seen significant improvement in progression free and overall survival in this patient population. Ongoing studies into perioperative management continue to investigate alternative treatment options and best practice for locally advanced resectable gastric cancer.

Journal: Mechanism Investigation of Hyaluronidase-Combined Multistage Nanoparticles for Solid Tumor Penetration and Antitumor Effect. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 27, 2020 We here reported a tumoral microenvironment responsive multistage drug delivery system (NPs-EPI/HAase) which was formed layer by layer via electrostatic interaction with epirubicin (EPI)-loaded PEG-b-poly(2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(2-guanidinoethylmethacrylate) (mPEG-PDPA-PG, PEDG) micelles (NPs-EPI) and hyaluronidase (HAase)...Compared with NPs-EPI, the HAase coating group showed an enhanced tumoral drug delivery efficacy and inhibition of tumor growth. Overall, our studies demonstrated that coating nanoparticles with HAase can provide a simple but efficient strategy for nano-drug carriers to enhance solid tumor penetration and chemotherapeutic efficacy.

- |||||||||| Journal, Immunogenic cell death: Inhibition of Immunosuppressive Tumors by Polymer-Assisted Inductions of Immunogenic Cell Death and Multivalent PD-L1 Crosslinking. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 20, 2020
Sequential treatment with a multivalent polymer-peptide antagonist to PD-L1 overcomes adaptive PD-L1 enrichment following chemotherapy, biases the recycling of PD-L1 to lysosome degradation via surface receptor crosslinking, and produces prolonged elimination of PD-L1 rather than the transient blocking afforded by standard anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Together, these findings established the polymer-facilitated tumor targeting of immunogenic drugs and surface crosslinking of PD-L1 as a potential new therapeutic strategy to propagate a long-term antitumor immunity, which might broaden the application of immunotherapy to immunosuppressive cancers.
