Chronic Psychological Stress in Oncogenesis: Multisystem Crosstalk and Multimodal Interventions.

Malignant tumors constitute a major global public health burden. Chronic psychological stress (CPS) manifests as sustained dysregulation arising from prolonged adaptive responses to chronic endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Clinical evidence indicates that CPS markedly influences cancer progression, with most oncology patients developing detectable stress-related psychological disorders during disease management. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding CPS-mediated oncogenic mechanisms and evaluates current intervention approaches. Mechanistically, CPS compromises immune surve

The Effect of a High-Fat Meal on the Pharmacokinetics of Ixazomib, an Oral Proteasome Inhibitor, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma.

Ixazomib is the first oral proteasome inhibitor to be investigated in the clinic. This clinical study assessed whether the pharmacokinetics of ixazomib would be altered if administered after a high-calorie, high-fat meal. In a 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study design, adult patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma received a 4-mg oral dose of ixazomib as immediate-release capsules on day 1 without food (fasted, administered following an overnight fast) or with food (fed, following consumption of a high-calorie, high-fat meal), followed by another dose on day 15 in the alternate food

Symptoms, Symptom Profiles, and Healthcare Utilization in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study and Latent Class Analysis.

Symptom burden is known to be high in patients with hematologic malignancies and can adversely impact patients' quality of life. The aims of this retrospective observational cohort study were to explore symptoms in patients with hematologic malignancies, including during the last year of life, to explore symptom profiles in patients with hematologic malignancies, and to explore associations among symptoms/symptom profiles and demographic, clinical, and treatment-related variables. Symptom prevalence and severity and symptom profiles were explored in patients with hematologic malignancies who c

Effects of a Sound Intervention on Physical and Emotional Well-Being in Patients with Cancer: A Prospective Randomized Trial.

AimCancer remains a disease with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality but also on quality of life. This prospective randomized pilot study investigated the effects of a sound intervention on physical and emotional well-being in outpatients with cancer.MethodsTwo self-applied sound interventions were used for this purpose, either active "music playing" with a body monochord or passive sound intervention with headphones to listen to a given music compilation. Interventions were carried out over a period of 4 weeks for at least 15 min in the evening before bedtime. The following self-a

Assessment and monitoring of patients receiving chemotherapy for multiple myeloma: strategies to improve outcomes.

Improved understanding as to the biology of multiple myeloma (MM) and the bone marrow microenvironment has led to the development of new drugs to treat MM. This explosion of new and highly effective drugs has led to dramatic advances in the management of MM and underscores the need for supportive care. Impressive and deep response rates to chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and small molecule drugs provide hope of a cure or prolonged remission for the majority of individuals. For most patients, long-term, continuous therapy is often required to suppress the malignant plasma cell clone, thus

Экстренные ситуации в гематологии: Почему, когда и как я лечусь?

Гематологические чрезвычайные ситуации являются критическими медицинскими условиями, требующими неотложного внимания в силу их быстрого развития и опасного для жизни характера. В качестве примера можно привести гиперкальцемию, которая часто ассоциируется с раком, таким как множественная миелома, что может привести к серьезной неврологической и сердечной дисфункции. Гиперлейкоцитоз, распространенный в острой миэлоидной лейкемии, повышает риск лейкостаза и многоорганического отказа. Кислородный кризис, обычное осложнение серповидноклеточной болезни, является результатом вазооккуляции, приводящей

Obesity: pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions.

Over the past few decades, obesity has transitioned from a localized health concern to a pressing global public health crisis affecting over 650 million adults globally, as documented by WHO epidemiological surveys. As a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by pathological adipose tissue expansion, chronic inflammation, and neuroendocrine dysregulation that disrupts systemic homeostasis and impairs physiological functions, obesity is rarely an isolated condition; rather, it is frequently complicated by severe comorbidities that collectively elevate mortality risks. Despite advances in nutr

MicroRNAs and Chinese Medicinal Herbs: New Possibilities in Cancer Therapy.

In recent decades Chinese medicine has been used worldwide as a complementary and alternative medicine to treat cancer. Plenty of studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play fundamental roles in many pathological processes, including cancer, while the anti-cancer mechanisms of Chinese medicinal herbs targeting miRNAs also have been extensively explored. Our previous studies and those of others on Chinese medicinal herbs and miRNAs in various cancer models have provided a possibility of new cancer therapies, for example, up-regulating the expression of miR-23a may activate the positive regu

Poly(ethylene glycol)-Prodrug Conjugates: Concept, Design, and Applications.

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is the most widely used polymer in delivering anticancer drugs clinically. PEGylation (i.e., the covalent attachment of PEG) of peptides proteins, drugs, and bioactives is known to enhance the aqueous solubility of hydrophobic drugs, prolong circulation time, minimize nonspecific uptake, and achieve specific tumor targetability through the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Numerous PEG-based therapeutics have been developed, and several have received market approval. A vast amount of clinical experience has been gained which has helped to design PEG prodru

A Systematic Review Evaluating the Impact of Fibre Supplementation on Gut Health and Other Clinical Outcomes in Adults with Haematological Malignancies During Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Background: Gut health is often disrupted in adults with haematological malignancies (HMs) receiving chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Microbial diversity is reduced, and both infection risk and inflammation increased. The role of dietary fibre in enhancing gut health, immune regulation, reducing complications, and improving clinical outcomes for people with HMs shows promise but the extent of their role remains unclear. Objectives: This systematic review evaluated the role of dietary fibre supplementation in adults with HMs undergoing HCT on gut health, immune f

Drug reprofiling history and potential therapies against Parkinson's disease.

Given the high whittling down rates, high costs, and moderate pace of new medication, revelation, and improvement, repurposing "old" drugs to treat typical and uncommon illnesses is progressively becoming an appealing proposition. Drug repurposing is the way toward utilizing existing medications in treating diseases other than the purposes they were initially designed for. Faced with scientific and economic challenges, the prospect of discovering new medication indications is enticing to the pharmaceutical sector. Medication repurposing can be used at various stages of drug development, althou

Bone metastases in thyroid cancer.

Whereas preemptive screening for the presence of lymph node and lung metastases is standard-of-care in thyroid cancer patients, bone metastases are less well studied and are often neglected in thyroid cancer patient surveillance. Bone metastases in thyroid cancer are, however, independently associated with poor/worse prognosis with a median overall survival from detection of only 4 years despite an otherwise excellent prognosis for the vast majority of thyroid cancer patients. In this review we summarize the state of current knowledge as pertinent to bony metastatic disease in thyroid cancer,

Oral Food Supplement with Bio-Activated Silicium and Vitamins D3 and K2 in the Conservative Management of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures.

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are the most prevalent manifestation of osteoporotic skeletal disease, associated with severe pain, functional decline, and elevated risk of subsequent fractures. Conservative management remains the first-line approach for stable fractures, yet pain control is often suboptimal, and vertebral collapse progresses in up to 37% of patients. Bio-activated orthosilicic acid combined with vitamins D3 and K2 (BioSi-DK) may support fracture healing through complementary mechanisms acting on osteoblast differentiation, collagen synthesis,

Distinguishing Curable from Progressive Dementias for Defining Cancer Care Options.

The likelihood of a diagnosis of dementia increases with a person's age, as is also the case for many cancers, including melanoma and multiple myeloma, where the median age of diagnosis is above 60 years. However, patients diagnosed with dementia are less likely to be offered invasive curative therapies for cancer. Together with analysis of diet and medication history, advanced imaging methods and genetic profiling can now indicate more about syndromes causing the neurological symptoms. Cachexia, malnutrition, dehydration, alcohol consumption, and even loneliness can all accentuate or cause th

Interventional Radiology in the Management of Metastases and Bone Tumors.

Interventional Radiology (IR) has experienced an exponential growth in recent years. Technological advances of the last decades have made it possible to use new treatments on a larger scale, with good results in terms of safety and effectiveness. In musculoskeletal field, painful bone metastases are the most common target of IR palliative treatments; however, in selected cases of bone metastases, IR may play a curative role, also in combination with other techniques (surgery, radiation and oncology therapies, etc.). Primary malignant bone tumors are extremely rare compared with secondary bone

Current and emerging treatment options for patients with relapsed myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic disorder. It results from proliferation of clonal plasma cells in bone marrow with production of monoclonal proteins, which are detectable in serum or urine. MM is clinically characterized by destructive bone lesions, anemia, hypercalcemia and renal insufficiency. Its prognosis is severe, with a median survival after diagnosis of approximately 3 years due to frequent relapses. Treatments for patients with relapsed/refractory MM include hematopoietic cell transplantation, a rechallenge using a previous chemotherapy regimen or a trial of a new regimen. The i
