Risk of malignancy in adult patients with congenital heart disease: a clinical practice review.

This paper presents case studies of adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who developed cancer and also discusses relevant epidemiological studies, risk factors, and reports on early detection. Herein, we describe three cases: a 63-year-old man with an atrial septal defect and multiple myeloma; a 48-year-old man with tetralogy of Fallot and colorectal cancer; and a 25-year-old man with Fontan circulation and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies have found that the incidence of cancer in adult patients with CHD is higher than that in the general population. The manageme

Treating rheumatic patients with a malignancy.

Management of patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease and a history of (or even a current) malignant disease poses some particular challenges. As direct evidence of the risk of (recurrent or de novo) malignancy in patients with a history of malignant disease is scarce, such a risk may be estimated indirectly from the principal carcinogenicity of the respective drug to be used or (also indirectly) from cancer reactivation data from the transplant literature. In general, cancer risk is increased in patients receiving combination immunosuppressive treatment, but the risk in patients receivin

Carbohydrate Targets for CAR T Cells in Solid Childhood Cancers.

Application of the CAR targeting strategy in solid tumors is challenged by the need for adequate target antigens. As a consequence of their tissue origin, embryonal cancers can aberrantly express membrane-anchored gangliosides. These are carbohydrate molecules consisting of a glycosphingolipid linked to sialic acids residues. The best-known example is the abundant expression of ganglioside GD2 on the cell surface of neuroblastomas which derive from GD2-positive neuroectoderm. Gangliosides are involved in various cellular functions, including signal transduction, cell proliferation, differentia

Crosstalk between hypoxic cellular micro-environment and the immune system: a potential therapeutic target for infectious diseases.

There are overwhelming reports on the promotional effect of hypoxia on the malignant behavior of various forms of cancer cells. This has been proposed and tested exhaustively in the light of cancer immunotherapy. However, there could be more interesting functions of a hypoxic cellular micro-environment than malignancy. There is a highly intricate crosstalk between hypoxia inducible factor (HIF), a transcriptional factor produced during hypoxia, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) which has been well characterized in various immune cell types. This important crosstalk shares common activating an

Cryoglobulinemia Type II: Sustained Remission After B-Cell-Directed Therapy.

BACKGROUND Cryoglobulinemia is a rare disease with a prevalence of <5 cases per 10 000. In many cases there is significant diagnostic delay, leading to years of morbidity. There are no randomized trials on non-infectious type II cryoglobulinemia, and choice of therapy is based on clinical expertise and observational data. Therapy based on the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab in combination with glucocorticosteroids is the preferred choice in many centers. This strategy induces clinical remission in two-thirds of patients. However, one-third of the initially-responding patients experienc

Хроническая нейтрофическая лейкемия у пациента с множественной миеломой.

Высокодозированная химиотерапия, применяемая для аутологической трансплантации стволовых клеток (ASCT), часто связана с распространением клеток с неопластическими способностями. В результате может быть расширена одна конкретная линия клеток, т.е. клональная гематомоизис (CH). Частота CH в множестве миеломы (ММ) была зарегистрирована как ~21,6%. Хотя нейтрофия в MM может быть лейкемоидной реакцией, нельзя забывать о таких гематоологических новообразованиях, как хроническая нейтрофильная лейкемия (CNL), которая характеризуется мутации CSF3R и отсутствием цитопении и/или значительного морфологиче

Novel immunotherapeutic approaches in gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor that ranks third in cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early-stage gastric cancer can often be effectively managed through surgical resection. However, the majority of cases are diagnosed in advanced stages, where outcomes with conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy remain unsatisfactory. Immunotherapy offers a novel approach to treating molecularly heterogeneous gastric cancer by modifying the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell therapy are regarded as promising modalities in cancer immunotherapy. Food

Safety of Eosinophil-Depleting Therapy for Severe, Eosinophilic Asthma: Focus on Benralizumab.

Eosinophils play a pivotal role in the inflammatory pathology of asthma and have been the target of new biologic treatments for patients with eosinophilic asthma. Given the central role of interleukin (IL)-5 in the eosinophil lifecycle, several therapies directed against the IL-5 pathway have been developed, including the anti-IL-5 antibodies mepolizumab and reslizumab and the IL-5 receptor α (IL-5Rα)-directed cytolytic antibody benralizumab. Eosinophil-depleting therapies represent a relatively new class of asthma treatment, and it is important to understand their long-term efficacy and safet

Versatility of 14-3-3 proteins and their roles in bone and joint-related diseases.

Bone and joint-related diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and bone tumors, pose significant health challenges due to their debilitating effects on the musculoskeletal system. 14-3-3 proteins, a family of conserved regulatory molecules, play a critical role in the pathology of these diseases. This review discusses the intricate structure and multifunctionality of 14-3-3 proteins, their regulation of signaling pathways, and their interactions with other proteins. We underscore the significance of 14-3-3 proteins in the regulation of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chon

Why do patients with cancer die?

Cancer is a major cause of global mortality, both in affluent countries and increasingly in developing nations. Many patients with cancer experience reduced life expectancy and have metastatic disease at the time of death. However, the more precise causes of mortality and patient deterioration before death remain poorly understood. This scarcity of information, particularly the lack of mechanistic insights, presents a challenge for the development of novel treatment strategies to improve the quality of, and potentially extend, life for patients with late-stage cancer. In addition, earlier depl

Cancer-associated stroke: Pathophysiology, detection and management (Review).

Numerous types of cancer have been shown to be associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is discussed, while providing vital information on the diagnosis and management of patients with cancer and stroke. Cancer may mediate stroke pathophysiology either directly or via coagulation disorders that establish a state of hypercoagulation, as well as via infections. Cancer treatment options, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery have all been shown to aggravate the risk of stroke as well. The clin

Emerging treatment options for the management of Hodgkin's lymphoma: clinical utility of nivolumab.

Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) is a B-cell malignancy comprised of pathologic Reed Sternberg cells with a surrounding immune-tolerant inflammatory milieu. RS cells evade immune recognition in part through programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) overexpression, which is genetically programmed through copy number alterations, polysomy, and amplification of the 9p24.1 locus encoding PD-L1. By engaging with PD-1+ T-cells, PD-L1 delivers a potent immune suppressive signal promoting immunologic escape of the tumor cell. Enhancing antitumor immune response by targeting PD-1 with the monoclonal antibody

Adeno-associated virus as a delivery vector for gene therapy of human diseases.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a pivotal delivery tool in clinical gene therapy owing to its minimal pathogenicity and ability to establish long-term gene expression in different tissues. Recombinant AAV (rAAV) has been engineered for enhanced specificity and developed as a tool for treating various diseases. However, as rAAV is being more widely used as a therapy, the increased demand has created challenges for the existing manufacturing methods. Seven rAAV-based gene therapy products have received regulatory approval, but there continue to be concerns about safely using high-dos
