Cancer Therapy and Exercise Intolerance: The Heart Is But a Part: JACC: CardioOncology State-of-the-Art Review.

The landscape of cancer therapeutics is continually evolving, with successes in improved survivorship and reduced disease progression for many patients with cancer. Improved cancer outcomes expose competing comorbidities, some of which may be exacerbated by cancer therapies. The leading cause of disability and death for many early-stage cancers is cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is often attributed to direct or indirect cardiac injury from cancer therapy. In this review, the authors propose that toxicities related to conventional and novel cancer therapeutics should be considered beyond th

Common Non-Rheumatic Medical Conditions Mimicking Fibromyalgia: A Simple Framework for Differential Diagnosis.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic non-inflammatory disorder mainly characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and a constellation of other symptoms. For this reason, delineating a clear distinction between pure FM and FM-like picture attributable to other common diseases can be extremely challenging. Physicians must identify the most significant confounders in individual patients and implement an appropriate diagnostic workflow, carefully choosing a minimal (but sufficient) set of tests to be used for identifying the most plausible diseases in the specific case

Osteoclast Immunosuppressive Effects in Multiple Myeloma: Role of Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1.

Immunomodulatory drugs and monoclonal antibody-based immunotherapies have significantly improved the prognosis of the patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in the recent years. These new classes of reagents target malignant plasma cells (PCs) and further modulate the immune microenvironment, which prolongs anti-MM responses and may prevent tumor occurrence. Since MM remains an incurable cancer for most patients, there continues to be a need to identify new tumor target molecules and investigate alternative cellular approaches using gene therapeutic strategies and novel treatment mechanisms. Oste

Alternative Splicing: A Critical Regulator in Human Bone Biology and Tumor Progression.

Alternative splicing (AS) is the central mechanism of transcriptional regulation and generates diverse splice variants that influence protein structure, function, and intracellular activity. AS plays critical roles in tissue differentiation, organ development, and disease progression. This review focuses on the pivotal roles of AS in bone biology, highlighting its regulatory effects on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, bone matrix remodeling, and bone remodeling, as well as the involvement of AS-related RNA-binding proteins in these processes. We also emphasize bone-specific AS events an

Tumor Cell Survival Factors and Angiogenesis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: How Hot Is the Link?

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of neoplastic CD5+/CD19+ B lymphocytes in the blood. These cells migrate to and proliferate in the bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. Despite the development of new therapies for CLL, drug resistance and disease relapse still occur; novel treatment approaches are therefore still needed. Inhibition of the angiogenesis involved in the progression of CLL might be a relevant therapeutic strategy. The literature data indicate that vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin-2, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 are pro-angiogen

Ketogenic Diet in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Molecular Targets and Therapeutic Opportunities.

Although cancer is still one of the most significant global challenges facing public health, the world still lacks complementary approaches that would significantly enhance the efficacy of standard anticancer therapies. One of the essential strategies during cancer treatment is following a healthy diet program. The ketogenic diet (KD) has recently emerged as a metabolic therapy in cancer treatment, targeting cancer cell metabolism rather than a conventional dietary approach. The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat and very-low-carbohydrate with adequate amounts of protein, has shown antitumor effe

Существует четкая связь между типом 2 сахарный диабет и общий риск заболевания раком. Однако исследования, посвященные оценке типа 2 Риск ДМ и множественной миэломы (ММ) ограничен, и связь менее ясна. Понимание воздействия давнишнего типа 2 Важнейшее значение имеет DM о системах органов и симптоматологии у пациентов с последующим диагнозом MM, а также потенциальные перекликающиеся токсичные вещества, связанные с лечением MM. В настоящем обзоре резюмируется роль вида 2 ДМ о рисках и результатах ММ и изучает различные механизмы, лежащие в основе этих ассоциаций. Более глубокое понимание этой асс

CAR-T Cell Therapy: Managing Side Effects and Overcoming Challenges.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is an innovative and promising approach to treat cancer. Clinical trials have demonstrated remarkable results, providing hope for patients who have exhausted more traditional therapies. However, this new therapy is not without challenges, as significant side effects have been associated with it. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a widely recognized and consequential side effect of CAR-T cell therapy. Neurological toxicity is another potential side effect that can cause confusion and seizures in some patients. Hematologic toxicities, such as ane

Lenalidomide use in multiple myeloma (Review).

Lenalidomide is a second-generation new immunomodulatory medication used to treat multiple myeloma (MM). Its mechanism of action involves affecting the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-6, cytochrome c, caspase-8, as well as other factors including immunological modulation and the direct killing of cells, among others, rendering it a fundamental medication, useful for the treatment of MM. Combining lenalidomide with other medications such dexamethasone, bortezomib, ixazomib, carfilzomib and daratumumab can markedly alleviate MM. When autologous-hematopoietic stem ce

Recent Clinical Update of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Focus on Epigenetic Therapies.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complicated disease characterized by genetic heterogeneity and simultaneous alterations in multiple genes. For decades, its only curative method has been intensive induction chemotherapy with or without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and this approach cannot be applied to elderly patients, who make up more than 50% of AML patients. Recent advances in genomics facilitated the elucidation of various mutations related to AML, and the most frequent mutations were discovered in epigenetic regulators. Alterations to epigenetic modifications that

Acute kidney injury in the patient with cancer.

Dramatic advances in the care of patients with cancer have led to significant improvement in outcomes and survival. However, renal manifestations of the underlying cancer as well as the effects of anti-neoplastic therapies leave patients with significant morbidity and chronic kidney disease risks. The most common renal manifestations associated with cancer include acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of multiple myeloma, tumor lysis syndrome, post-hematopoietic stem cell therapy, and AKI associated with chemotherapy. Knowledge of specific risk factors, modification of risk and careful atte

Gut microbiota and microbial metabolites for osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is an age-related bone metabolic disease. As an essential endocrine organ, the skeletal system is intricately connected with extraosseous organs. The crosstalk between bones and other organs supports this view. In recent years, the link between the gut microecology and bone metabolism has become an important research topic, both in preclinical studies and in clinical trials. Many studies have shown that skeletal changes are accompanied by changes in the composition and structure of the gut microbiota (GM). At the same time, natural or artificial interventions targeting the GM can

Humanistic Health Management and Cancer: Associations of Psychology, Nutrition, and Exercise with Cancer Progression and Pathogenesis.

The incidence rate of cancer is increasing year by year due to the aging of the population, unhealthy living, and eating habits. At present, surgery and medication are still the main treatments for cancer, without paying attention to the impact of individual differences in health management on cancer. However, increasing evidence suggests that individual psychological status, dietary habits, and exercise frequency are closely related to the risk and prognosis of cancer. The reminder to humanity is that the medical concept of the unified treatment plan is insufficient in cancer treatment, and a

Effects of Carbon Nanomaterials and Aloe vera on Melanomas-Where Are We? Recent Updates.

Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that affects approximately 140,000 people worldwide each year, with a high fatality rate. Available treatment modalities show limited efficacy in more severe cases. Hence, the search for new treatment modalities, including immunotherapies, for curing, mitigating, and/or preventing cancer is important and urgently needed. Carbon nanoparticles associated with some plant materials, such as Aloe vera, have shown appealing antineoplastic activity, derived mainly from the compounds aloin, aloe-emodin, barbaloin acemannan, and octapeptide, thus representing new p

Immunological Approaches Towards Cancer and Inflammation: A Cross Talk.

The inflammation is the protective response of the body against various harmful stimuli; however, the aberrant and inappropriate activation tends to become harmful. The acute inflammatory response tends to resolved once the offending agent is subside but this acute response becomes chronic in nature when the body is unable to successfully neutralized the noxious stimuli. This chronic inflammatory microenvironment is associated with the release of various pro-inflammatory and oncogenic mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), cytokines [IL-1β, IL-2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α

Pyoderma gangrenosum: pathogenetic mechanisms and their implications for treatment.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory skin disease belonging to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses. The pathogenesis of PG involves a predisposing genetic background that facilitates a dysregulated innate and adaptive immune response, with an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators, leading to neutrophil-driven inflammatory damage. Several immunosuppressants and immunomodulatory drugs are currently available for the treatment of PG, in combination with topical therapies, wound management and pain control strategies. Systemic corticosteroids and cyclospor
