Optimal approach for localised rectal cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Rectal cancer remains one of the most challenging tumours in respect of local treatment. The many disciplines involved, the development of new insights and novel treatment strategies, and the close correlation between quality of care and outcome provides a fascinating scenario. In this educational session several of these aspects are discussed, and will be of interest to surgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, radiologists and pathologists.

During more than 14 years, more than 800 patients with ...
متن کاملExpression of CD137 and CD137 ligand in colorectal cancer patients.
The cytokine CD137, a member of the TNF receptor family, is expressed by T cells and regulates activation and proliferation of these cells. The CD137 ligand (CD137L) is expressed by antigen-presenting cells including macrophages, but also on various carcinoma cells. CD137/CD137L interaction plays a central role in sustaining T cell and macrophage activation, i.e. in antitumour immunity. The pre...
