Advances in prostate cancer immunotherapies.
Prostate cancer is a major cause of mortality in men in the Western world. Although treatment of early stage prostate cancer with radiation therapy or prostatectomy is efficient in most cases, some patients develop a fatal hormone-refractory disease. Treatments in this case are limited to aggressive chemotherapies, which can reduce serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in some patients. ...
متن کاملEpigenetic Strategies to Boost Cancer Immunotherapies
Recently, immunotherapeutic approaches have shown impressive responses in a subset of cancer patients. However, the rate of success is low and a large percentage of treated patients do not experience clinical benefits. Therefore, additional strategies are needed to improve responses and select responsive patients. Emerging data suggest that epigenetic drugs can improve the responses to immunoth...
متن کاملA Blueprint to Advance Colorectal Cancer Immunotherapies.
Immunotherapy is rapidly becoming a standard of care for many cancers. However, colorectal cancer had been generally resistant to immunotherapy, despite features in common with sensitive tumors. Observations of substantial clinical activity for checkpoint blockade in colorectal cancers with defective mismatch repair (microsatellite instability-high tumors) have reignited interest in the search ...
متن کاملCommercialization of cellular immunotherapies for cancer.
Successful commercialization of a cell therapy requires more than proving safety and efficacy to the regulators. The inherent complexity of cellular products delivers particular manufacturing, logistical and reimbursement hurdles that threaten commercial viability for any therapy with a less than spectacular clinical profile that truly changes the standard of care. This is particularly acute fo...
متن کاملToll-like Receptors in Ovarian Cancer as Targets for Immunotherapies
In the last decade, it has become apparent that toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling can play an important role in ovarian cancer (OC) progression. Interestingly, TLR activation in immune cells can help activate an anti-tumor response, while TLR signaling in tumor cells themselves is often associated with cancer-promoting inflammation. For example, it has been shown that TLR activation in dendrit...
