Numerous studies over the past century have reported an inverse correlation between lifetime solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) exposure and all-cancer incidence and mortality. For decades, this relationship was hypothesized to reflect the action of pho…
Immunotherapy has progressed significantly in cancer treatment; however, several factors influence its outcomes. Abnormal lipid metabolism, which is frequently observed in cancers, promotes tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Li et al from …
The discovery that natural killer (NK) cells can retain features of “memory” from previous stimulation and pathogen exposure was a landmark advance highlighting one of many ways in which NK cells of the innate immune system resemble T cells of the ada…
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy of solid cancer remains below expectations; adding cytokine help through IL-18 has shown remarkable efficacy in first clinical trials. As IL-18 is also a powerful driver of hyperinflammatory conditions, w…
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous breast cancer subtype characterized by aggressive clinical behavior and poor prognosis. The immune landscape associated with TNBC often reveals high immunogenicity. Therefore, immunotherapy, whic…
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face a significant burden of cancer prevalence and incidence. However, the survival rates for patients with cancer in these regions are notably lower than those in high-income countries, primarily due to late d…
At the ASCO 2024 meeting, Anthony P Conley, coauthor on this editorial, presented promising data from the phase 1/2 clinical trial called BETA PRIME (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04673942) with AdAPT-001 plus a checkpoint inhibitor (CI). All participants gav…
This study reviews the contrasting finding regarding the impact of Helicobacter pylori infection on the efficacy of immunotherapy in gastric cancer (GC). While a large retrospective study reported a positive association between H. pylori infection and…
The intricate origins, subsets, and characteristics of TCR (T Cell Receptor) s, along with the mechanisms underpinning the antitumor response of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes within the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain enigmatic. Recently, the a…
