Abstract Glioblastomas are immunologically “cold” tumors with intense immunosuppressive myeloid cell- and sparse cytotoxic T-cell infiltration. Therefore, viral vector vaccines may be a promising approach to boost the induction of glioblastoma-targeted T cells. It has been previously shown that heterologous prime-boost vaccination chimpanzee-derived adenovirus ChAdOx1 modified vaccinia Ankara (...

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential tools for many molecular im-munology investigations, epitope mapping and molecular modelling, clinical laboratory di-agnostic tests and immunotherapy. Humoral immune response of immunized animals largely depends on the nature of antigen and the immunization technique. Polysaccharides and heavily-glycosylated proteins are very elusive target...

CAR-T cell immunotherapy involves genetically reprogrammed T-lymphocytes that interact with cancer cells and activate an anti-tumor immune response. This therapy has been approved for clinical use hematological cancers, but new challenges have emerged in the treatment of solid tumors. Some include heterogeneity antigen expression found tumors, including antigen-positive non-tumoral cells, inhib...

Our previous case-control study suggested that equol, a metabolite of isoflavone, has a preventive effect on prostate cancer. To examine the prostate cancer risk based on isoflavone intake and equol production, we carried out a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oral isoflavone (60 mg/day) for 12 months. The inclusion criteria were Japanese men between 50 and 75 yea...

Cancer immunotherapy refers to any intervention that leverages the immune system to eliminate a malignancy. Successful cancer immunotherapies generate an anti-cancer response that is systemic, specific, and durable and overcome to the primary limitations of traditional cancer treatment modalities. In this review paper, the effective methods in immune system to treat cancer, such as immunosuppre...

HIGHLIGHTS Salvia species have been suggested for their potential anti-cancer effects. candidissima Vahl. subsp. suppressed the survival of breast cancer cells. Breast cells nuclei become pyknotic and fragmented after treatment. The treatment group had greater levels M30-antigen level in MCF-7 cell line.

Abstract Background Traditional single surgical quality indicators are commonly used however they poor for assessing global outcomes patients. Composite such as the ‘Textbook Outcome’ (TO) is a composite outcome to determine success of process, and compare between institutions patient groups, described by Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Audit Group Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). They reported national TOs...
