Expression Levels of GHRH-Receptor, pAkt and Hsp90 Predict 10-Year Overall Survival in Patients with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Dávid Fodor, Eva Pozsgai, Andrew V. Schally, Zoltán László, Éva Gömöri, Éva Szabó, László Rumi, Dorottya Lőcsei, Árpád Boronkai and Szabolcs Bellyei

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: December 31, 2022

Rectal cancer constitutes nearly one-third of all colorectal cancer diagnoses and certain clinical and molecular markers have been studied as potential prognosticators of patient survival. The main objective of our study was to investigate the relationship between the expression intensities of certain proteins: Growth Hormone- Releasing Hormone Receptor (GHRH-R), Hsp90, Hsp16.2, p-Akt and SOUL in specimens of locally advanced rectal cancer patients and time to metastasis as well as 10-year Ove...

The Role of Adjuvant Metronomic Chemotherapy in Increasing Overall Response Rate in Patients with Breast Cancer

Bhushan Jain and Akhila Pakalapati

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: September 18, 2022

Treatment paradigms against cancer have continuously evolved over the years. Having said that, with its prevalence of more than 2 million cases each year, breast cancer represents an urgent global priority [1]. Breast carcinomas accounted for 11.6 % of cancer cases and were the cause of mortality in as many as 6.6 % of women in the world in 2018 [2]. Toxicity and chemoresistance are significant hurdles in conventional chemotherapy and to avoid these issues, a new approach to drug administration,...

Proposed Experimental Preparation and Administration of Dendritic Cell Vaccine for Treatment of Cancer (Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer)

Behzad Niakan

Article Type: Letter to Editor | First Published: July 09, 2022

It is suggested that a cause of inefficacy in dendritic cell vaccine is dendritic cell dysfunction. It is proposed that dendritic cell dysfunction is possibly due to the immuneregulatory function of activated platelets in cancer patients. It is suggested that activated platelets in cancer patient suppress dendritic cell activity against a malignant growth. A low platelet count prior to the removal of dendritic cells would possibly yield less dysfunctional dendritic cells....
