Cardiovascular health: an important component of cancer survivorship.

Advances in the detection and treatment of cancer have translated into improved cancer survival rates and a growing population of cancer survivors. These include those living with cancer and individuals free of the disease following treatment. Epidemiological studies demonstrate that cancer survivors are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), with cardiovascular (CV) mortality overtaking cancer mortality in some tumour types. Cancer and CVD share common aetiological risk factors, for example, age, tobacco use and obesity, as well as a shared inflammatory pathogenesis. The CV ris

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors in Pediatric Brain Cancers: Biological Activities and Therapeutic Potential.

Brain cancers are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children. Biological changes in these tumors likely include epigenetic deregulation during embryonal development of the nervous system. Histone acetylation is one of the most widely investigated epigenetic processes, and histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are increasingly important candidate treatments in many cancer types. Here, we review advances in our understanding of how HDACis display antitumor effects in experimental models of specific pediatric brain tumor types, i.e., medulloblastoma (MB), ependymoma (EPN), pediatric

Whole body vibration training during allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation-the effects on patients' physical capacity.

Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) experience a considerable decline in physical and psycho-social capacity. Since whole body vibration (WBV) is known to efficiently stimulate the neuromuscular system and enhance cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength in frail individuals, we hypothesized that WBV would maintain various physical and psychological capacities in patients during alloHCT. Seventy-one patients were randomly allocated to either an intervention group (IG) doing WBV or an active control group (CG) doing mobilization exercises five times

Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation for multiple myeloma: a systematic review and meta-analysis from 2007 to 2017.

BackgroundDespite recent advances, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable. However, the appearance of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) through graft-versus-myeloma effect provides a potential way to cure MM to some degree. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients receiving allo-SCT and identified a series of prognostic factors that may affect the outcome of allo-SCT.Patients/methodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from 2007.01.01 to 2017.05.03 using the keywords 'allogeneic' and 'myeloma'.ResultsA total of 61 clinical t

Development of an Active Chimeric IL13Rα2 ADC for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.

IntroductionDiffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with a critical unmet need due to the lack of approved, curative interventions available. The interweaving of malignant cells with normal tissue makes surgical extraction essentially impossible, and radiation provides only transient benefit. The recent ONC201 FDA approval, however, suggests DIPG therapy is tractable. Having identified overexpression of IL13Rα2 in DIPG tumor tissue versus normal brain tissue, we investigated binding of commercially available IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibodies. The top candidate antib

Dural Lymphomas Unmasked: A Narrative Review of Extra-Axial Mimics and a Pragmatic Diagnostic Decision Algorithm.

Dural-based lymphomas are rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas that span from indolent primary dural entities, most commonly the extranodal marginal zone (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma, to aggressive variants that are primary or represent secondary involvement from systemic lymphoma. They overlap radiologically with benign meningiomas, dural metastases, and immune-mediated pachymeningitis, creating a risk of anchoring bias, delayed diagnosis, and unnecessarily extensive resections when limited tissue sampling would be sufficient for diagnosis. We conducted a structured narrative

Targeting the Cancer-Neuronal Crosstalk in the Pancreatic Cancer Microenvironment.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represents one of the most aggressive solid tumors with a dismal prognosis and an increasing incidence. At the time of diagnosis, more than 85% of patients are in an unresectable stage. For these patients, chemotherapy can prolong survival by only a few months. Unfortunately, in recent decades, no groundbreaking therapies have emerged for PDAC, thus raising the question of how to identify novel therapeutic druggable targets to improve prognosis. Recently, the tumor microenvironment and especially its neural component has gained increasing interest in the
