Sequencing of Adjuvant Chemoradiation for Advanced Stage Endometrial Cancer: Outcomes and Toxicity Profiles
Objectives: Radiation is frequently added to chemotherapy for adjuvant treatment of advanced stage endometrial cancer. Multiple adjuvant therapy sequencing options exist, and little data is available to compare these. We compared outcomes and toxicities after “sandwich” chemoradiation (chemotherapy, then radiation, then chemotherapy) and nonsandwich sequences (chemotherapy then radiation, radiation then chemotherapy, or concurrent chemoradiation). Materials and Methods: We recorded...

Blockade of CD73 delays glioblastoma growth by modulating the immune environment
Abstract Immunotherapy as an approach for cancer treatment is clinically promising. CD73, which is the enzyme that produces extracellular adenosine, favors cancer progression and protects the tumor from immune surveillance. While CD73 has recently been demonstrated to be a potential target for glioma treatment, its role in regulating the inflammatory tumor microenvironment has not yet been investigated. Thus, this study explores the immunotherapeutic value of the CD73 blockade...

Selective targeting of different populations of myeloid-derived suppressor cells by histone deacetylase inhibitors
Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are widely implicated in negative regulation of immune responses in cancer. Inhibition of class I histone deacetylases (HDAC) with entinostat has anti-MDSC activity. However, as single agent, it did not delay tumor growth in EL4 and LLC tumor models. Here, we found that entinostat reduced immune suppressive activity of only one type of MDSC—polymorphonuclear, PMN-MDSC, whereas it had no effect on monocytic M-MDSC or macrophages....

Caprylic acid(C8:0) promotes bone metastasis of prostate cancer by dysregulated adipo‐osteogenic balance in bone marrow
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) continues to be the most common, noncutaneous cancer in men. Bone is the most frequent site of PCa metastases, and up to 90% of patients with advanced PCa develop bone metastases. An altered bone marrow microenvironment, induced by obesity, is a significant mediator for the bone tropism of PCa. However, the specific molecular mechanisms by which obesity causes changes in the bone marrow microenvironment, leading to PCa bone metastasis, are not fully understood. Our...

What is the damage? Testicular germ cell tumour survivors deficient in testosterone at risk of metabolic syndrome and a need for medical intervention
Abstract Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) survivors are coping with late treatment sequelae. Testosterone deficiency may contribute to earlier onset of metabolic syndrome. The study aimed to assess connections between serum testosterone concentrations and metabolic disorders as well as body composition in TGCT survivors. 336 TGCT patients with over two years of complete post-treatment remission were divided into three groups: definite testosterone deficiency (< 8 nmol/L),...

Treating metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma: beyond immunotherapy
Abstract First-line treatment for metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma patients with intermediate and poor-risk features consists of a combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., nivolumab + ipilimumab) or immunotherapy with an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) drug (e.g., axitinib). The subsequent line of therapy should be determined on the basis of previous treatments and approved drugs available, based on the results of randomized clinical...

COVID-19 and cancer care: what do international guidelines say?
Abstract Cancer patients are at particular risk from COVID-19 since they usually present multiple risk factors for this infection such as older age, immunosuppressed state, comorbidities (e.g., chronic lung disease, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases), need of frequent hospital admissions and visits. Therefore, in the COVID era, oncologists should carefully weigh risks/benefits when planning cancer therapies and follow-up appointments. Recently, several scientific associations...

The danish head and neck cancer group (DAHANCA) 2020 radiotherapy guidelines
The Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA) was founded in 1976. Over the years the group successfully conducted clinical trials and has developed national guidelines for all aspects of the treatment of head and neck cancer. The first national recommendations for radiotherapy was included as an appendix to the DAHANCA 2 and DAHANCA 5 protocols [1,2] in 1979 and 1986, respectively. A thorough description of doses and treatment fields were in 1991 included in the large DAHANCA 6&7 randomized...

Contributions and competition of Mg2+ and K+ in folding and stabilization of the Twister Ribozyme [Article]
Native folded and compact intermediate states of RNA typically involve tertiary structures in the presence of divalent ions such as Mg2+ in a background of monovalent ions. In a recent study we have shown how the presence of Mg2+ impacts the transition from partially unfolded to folded states through a "push-pull" mechanism where the ion both favors and disfavors the sampling of specific phosphate-phosphate interactions (Biophysical Journal, 6: 1424-1437, 2020). To further understand the ion atmosphere...
