Purpose: Vα24-invariant natural killer T cells (NKTs) are attractive carriers for chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) due to their inherent antitumor properties and preferential localization to tumor sites. However, limited persistence of CAR-NKTs in tumor-bearing mice is associated with tumor recurrence. Here, we evaluated whether co-expression of the NKT homeostatic cytokine IL-15 with a CAR enhances the in vivo persistence and therapeutic efficacy of CAR-NKTs. Experimental Design: Human primary...
Recurrent high-risk neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer that often fails to respond to therapy. Fenretinide (4-HPR) is a cyototoxic retinoid with cliical activity in recurrent neuroblastoma and venetoclax (ABT-199) is a selective inhibitor of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2. We evaluated activity of 4-HPR + ABT-199 in preclinical models of neuroblastoma. Patient-derived cell lines and xenografts from progresssive neuroblastoma were tested. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by DIMSCAN, apoptosis by...
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a constituent of the extracellular matrix, promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) growth. CD44 is a relevant HA receptor in this context. However, HA is also a ligand for TLR4, a receptor of significance in CRC. In this study we examine the relative contribution of HA interactions with CD44 and TLR4 in colon tumorigenesis. CRC models included ApcMin/+ mice, azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (AOM-DSS) and CT26 tumor isografts. We used knockout mice and CT26 CRC cells with CRISPR...
Despite the clinical benefit of trastuzumab, eventually all HER2-amplified gastric cancer tumors develop drug resistance. We aimed to identify molecular mechanisms of acquired resistance to trastuzumab in gastric cancer by using well-established cell-line based preclinical models, as well as samples from HER2-positive gastric cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. We studied trastuzumab resistance in NCI-N87 and OE19, two gastric cancer cell lines that overexpress HER2 receptor and are trastuzumab...

Abstract Objective To develop and evaluate the usability of iConquerFear, an online self‐management adaptation of an efficacious face‐to‐face therapist‐delivered treatment for fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). Methods iConquerFear development was theory‐ and person‐based. Development was guided by Ritterband et al's behaviour change model for Internet interventions. iConquerFear end users (cancer survivors) provided iterative feedback in accordance with Yardley et al's person‐based approach,...
Summary Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling plays important roles in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a lethal form of brain tumor. BMPs reduce GBM tumorigenicity through its differentiation‐ and apoptosis‐inducing effects on glioma‐initiating cells (GICs). However, some GICs do not respond to the tumor suppressive effects of BMPs. Using a phospho‐receptor tyrosine kinase array, we found that EPHA6 (erythropoietin‐producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor A6) phosphorylation was regulated...
The prognosis of N categories for patients with non-surgical esophageal carcinoma based on the number of metastatic lymph nodes is controversial. The present study analyzes prognostic implications of the numbe...
The treatment of lung lesions with stereotactic body radiation therapy calls for highly conformal dose, which is evaluated by a number of metrics. Lung stereotactic body radiation therapy clinical trials const...
We critically examined existing approaches for the estimation of the excess familial risk of cancer which can be attributed to identified common genetic risk variants and propose an alternative, more straightforward approach for calculating this proportion using well‐established epidemiological methodology. We applied the underlying equations of the traditional approaches and the new epidemiological approach for colorectal cancer (CRC) in a large population‐based case–control study in Germany with...
Abstract Purpose Prostaglandin-mediated inflammatory reactions play a major role in different cancers. Recently, it has been observed that prostaglandin E2-receptor 3 (EP3) might be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in cervical and endometrial cancer. The role of EP3 expression in ovarian cancer is currently unknown. Methods EP3 expression...
Abstract Introduction Single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is delivered predominantly via two modalities: Gamma Knife, and linear accelerator (LINAC). Implementation of the American Tax Payer Relief Act (ATRA) in 2013 represented the first time limitations specifically targeting SRS reimbursement were introduced into federal law. The subsequent impact of the ATRA on SRS utilization in the United States (US) has yet to be examined....
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to determine the potential of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in replacing routine bone-marrow biopsies (BMB) in newly diagnosed extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). Methods Newly diagnosed patients underwent PET/CT imaging and routine BMB to assess bone/bone marrow involvement (BMI)....
Background The large registry, PROVENGE Registry for the Observation, Collection, and Evaluation of Experience Data (PROCEED)(NCT01306890), evaluated sipuleucel‐T immunotherapy for asymptomatic/minimally symptomatic metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Methods PROCEED enrolled patients with mCRPC receiving 3 biweekly sipuleucel‐T infusions. Assessments included overall survival (OS), serious adverse events (SAEs), cerebrovascular events (CVEs), and anticancer interventions...
Background The majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are aged >65 years at the time of diagnosis and are not actively treated. The objective of the current study was to determine the prevalence, temporal trends, and factors associated with no active treatment (NAT) among older patients with AML in the United States. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)–Medicare data from 14,089 patients with AML residing in...

Abstract Purpose The clinical importance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is well recognized. However, a reliable method for the detection of functioning CSC has not yet been established. We hypothesized that YAP1, a transcriptional coactivator, and SOX2, a master transcription factor of SCC, may cooperatively induce stemness through transcriptional reprogramming. ...

Abstract Objective Supra-total glioblastoma resection has gained growing attention with regard to superior long-term disease control. However, aggressive onco-surgical approaches—geared beyond conventional gross total resections (GTR)—are limited by the impairment of adjacent eloquent areas at risk that may entail severe postoperative functional morbidity. Against this backdrop we analyzed our institutional database with regard to potential...

Servagi-VernatAbstractDespite representing a 1% of diagnosed cancer cases in the USA and up to 5% in eastern Asia and Africa, oesophageal cancer still holds numerous questions concerning the best therapeutic management. For squamous cell carcinoma, while radiochemotherapy has proven itself to be the gold standard as part of the trimodality or alone as a definitive treatment,...
Abstract Red meat and processed meat have been suggested to increase risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), especially colon cancer. However, it remains unclear whether these associations differ according to meat subtypes or colon subsites. The present study addressed this issue by conducting a pooled analysis of large population‐based cohort studies in Japan: 5 studies comprising 232,403 participants (5,694 CRC cases) for analysis based on frequency of meat intake and 2 studies comprising 123,635 participants...
Abstract Background Autophagy plays an important role in regulating cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in gastric cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism of methioninase (METase) in the regulation of autophagy and CDDP resistance of gastric cancer cells is still not clear. Materials and methods Western blot was used to detect the levels of autophagy-related...
