Marketed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, antihypertensives, and human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors: as-yet-unused weapons of the oncologists' arsenal.

Experimental data indicate that several pharmacological agents that have long been used for the management of various diseases unrelated to cancer exhibit profound in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. This is of major clinical importance, since it would possibly aid in reassessing the therapeutic use of currently used agents for which clinicians already have experience. Further, this would obviate the time-consuming process required for the development and the approval of novel antineoplastic drugs. Herein, both pre-clinical and clinical data concerning the antineoplastic function of dist

Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) Guided Novel Therapies for T-cell lymphomas.

T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of cancers with different pathogenesis and poor prognosis. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic modifiers that modulate many key biological processes. In recent years, HDACs have been fully investigated for their roles and potential as drug targets in T-cell lymphomas. In this review, we have deciphered the modes of action of HDACs, HDAC inhibitors as single agents, and HDACs guided combination therapies in T-cell lymphomas. The overview of HDACs on the stage of T-cell lymphomas, and HDACs guided therapies both as single agents and combination

Functional pituitary adenoma imaging.

High-resolution pituitary MRI localises most pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs), yet clinically important subgroups remain challenging: (i) very small functioning tumours, particularly corticotroph microadenomas, and (ii) post-operative remnants where scar, gland and tumour cannot be reliably separated. Functional imaging, specifically PET has matured into a problem-solving modality when conventional imaging is equivocal, provided it is used selectively and interpreted within a physiology-led framework. This review proposes an MRI-first, tiered imaging strategy and a pragmatic approach

Immune mediated inflammatory diseases: moving from targeted biologic therapy, stem cell therapy to targeted cell therapy.

Despite the advancements in targeted biologic therapy for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), significant challenges persist, including challenges in drug maintenance, primary and secondary non-responses, and adverse effects. Recent data have strengthened the evidence supporting stem cell therapy as an experimental salvage therapy into a standard treatment option. Recent preclinical and clinical studies suggested that chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, which depleting tissue and bone marrow B cells, may lead to improvement, even inducing long-lasting remissions for pa

Immunotherapy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Literature Review of Emerging Strategies.

In the last twenty years, we have witnessed a paradigm shift in the treatment and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), thanks to the introduction of new efficient drugs or approaches to refine old therapies, such as Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, CPX 3-5-1, hypomethylating agents, and Venetoclax, the optimization of conditioning regimens in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the improvement of supportive care. However, the long-term survival of non-M3 and non-core binding factor-AML is still dismal. For this reason, the expectations for the recently developed immunotherapies,

Recent advances in tumor immunotherapy based on NK cells.

Immunotherapy has emerged as the established fourth pillar of cancer treatment following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, representing a cutting-edge research domain in translational medicine and clinical oncology. Natural killer (NK) cells, a type of innate cytotoxic lymphocyte, possess unique antitumor properties that are independent of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restrictions, making them promising candidates for "off-the-shelf" therapeutic products. NK cells can eliminate tumor cells through various mechanisms. Genetic engineering of NK cells can enhance their activation

Rhabdomyosarcoma: Current Therapy, Challenges, and Future Approaches to Treatment Strategies.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare cancer arising in skeletal muscle that typically impacts children and young adults. It is a worldwide challenge in child health as treatment outcomes for metastatic and recurrent disease still pose a major concern for both basic and clinical scientists. The treatment strategies for rhabdomyosarcoma include multi-agent chemotherapies after surgical resection with or without ionization radiotherapy. In this comprehensive review, we first provide a detailed clinical understanding of rhabdomyosarcoma including its classification and subtypes, diagnosis, and treatment str

Interstitial Lung Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Practical Approach for General Medicine Physicians with Focus on the Medical History.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary fibrosis comprise a wide array of inflammatory and fibrotic lung diseases which are often confusing to general medicine and pulmonary physicians alike. In addition to the myriad of clinical and radiologic nomenclature used in ILD, histopathologic descriptors may be particularly confusing, and are often extrapolated to radiologic imaging patterns which may further add to the confusion. We propose that rather than focusing on precise histologic findings, focus should be on identifying an accurate etiology of ILD through a comprehensive and detailed m

Insulin Resistance at the Crossroads of Metabolic Inflammation, Cardiovascular Disease, Organ Failure and Cancer.

Insulin resistance (IR) describes impaired hormone signaling that triggers compensatory homeostatic responses resulting in hyperinsulinemia, increased accumulation of fatty substrates, lipotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death and fibrosis in target tissues. These processes ultimately lead to organ dysfunction and predispose certain individuals to various types of cancer. In this context, we will review the molecular pathogenesis and clinical significance of IR, its role in 'metaflammation', and the damage caused by IR in the pancreas, cardiovascular system, liver, and kidneys.

Development of Psychosocial Distress in Cancer Survivors and Its Potential Prognostic Impact on Survival: A Scoping Review.

BackgroundWhile single-point assessments of psychosocial distress have been associated with survival outcomes, investigations examining longitudinal changes in psychosocial distress and survival outcomes remain limited.AimsThis scoping review evaluates existing literature on longitudinal distress patterns and their association with survival outcomes.MethodsA comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo databases up to January 2025. Studies were eligible if they included adult cancer survivors, measured psychological distress using validated instruments at minimum

Myeloma Bone Disease: The Osteoblast in the Spotlight.

Lytic bone disease remains a life-altering complication of multiple myeloma, with up to 90% of sufferers experiencing skeletal events at some point in their cancer journey. This tumour-induced bone disease is driven by an upregulation of bone resorption (via increased osteoclast (OC) activity) and a downregulation of bone formation (via reduced osteoblast (OB) activity), leading to phenotypic osteolysis. Treatments are limited, and currently exclusively target OCs. Despite existing bone targeting therapies, patients successfully achieving remission from their cancer can still be left with chro

Micro and nanotechnologies: The little formulations that could.

The first publication of micro- and nanotechnology in medicine was in 1798 with the use of the Cowpox virus by Edward Jenner as an attenuated vaccine against Smallpox. Since then, there has been an explosion of micro- and nanotechnologies for medical applications. The breadth of these micro- and nanotechnologies is discussed in this piece, presenting the date of their first report and their latest progression (e.g., clinical trials, FDA approval). This includes successes such as the recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and Janssen (

Immune Therapies for Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are hematologic malignancies arising from the bone marrow. Despite recent advances in treating these diseases, patients with higher-risk MDS and AML continue to have a poor prognosis with limited survival. It has long been recognized that there is an immune component to the pathogenesis of MDS and AML, but until recently, immune therapies have played a limited role in treating these diseases. Immune suppressive therapy exhibits durable clinical responses in selected patients with MDS, but the question of which patients are most s

Potential Adverse Effects of Dexamethasone Therapy on COVID-19 Patients: Review and Recommendations.

In the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the global healthcare community has raced to find effective therapeutic agents against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To date, dexamethasone is the first and an important therapeutic to significantly reduce the risk of death in COVID-19 patients with severe disease. Due to powerful anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, dexamethasone could attenuate SARS-CoV-2-induced uncontrolled cytokine storm, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and lung injury. Nevertheless, dexamethasone tre

Recent Advances in CAR-Based Solid Tumor Immunotherapy.

Adoptive cell therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology is one of the most advanced engineering platforms for cancer immunotherapy. CAR-T cells have shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of hematological malignancies. However, their limitations in solid tumors include an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), insufficient tumor infiltration, toxicity, and the absence of tumor-specific antigens. Although recent advances in CAR-T cell design-such as the incorporation of co-stimulatory domains and the development of armored CAR-T cells-have shown promising results in

Cancer evolution: mathematical models and computational inference.

Cancer is a somatic evolutionary process characterized by the accumulation of mutations, which contribute to tumor growth, clinical progression, immune escape, and drug resistance development. Evolutionary theory can be used to analyze the dynamics of tumor cell populations and to make inference about the evolutionary history of a tumor from molecular data. We review recent approaches to modeling the evolution of cancer, including population dynamics models of tumor initiation and progression, phylogenetic methods to model the evolutionary relationship between tumor subclones, and probabilisti

Цереброспинный грипп и биомаркеры крови для нейроаксональных повреждений при многоразовом склерозе

После появления новых данных о том, что нейродегенеративные процессы в множестве склероза (MS) присутствуют на ранних стадиях, был проявлен активный научный интерес к биомаркерам нейро-аксональных повреждений в жидкостях организма пациентов, страдающих с склерозом. Недавно проведенные исследования позволили ввести новые потенциальные биомаркеры, но в то же время прояснили патогенетическое и клиническое значение хорошо известных. В настоящем документе рассматриваются имеющиеся данные о биомаркерах нейроаксональных повреждений в крови и цереброспинных жидкостях и освещается их связь с клинически
