Multiplatform plasma fingerprinting in cancer cachexia: a pilot observational and translational study.

BACKGROUND: Cachexia is a metabolic syndrome that affects up to 50-80% of cancer patients. The pathophysiology is characterized by a variable combination of reduced food intake and abnormal metabolism, including systemic inflammation and negative protein and energy balance. Despite its high clinical significance, defined diagnostic criteria and established therapeutic strategies are lacking. The 'omics' technologies provide a global view of biological systems. We hypothesize that blood-based metabolomics might identify findings in cachectic patients that could provide clues to gain knowledge o

Molecular mechanisms and clinical management of cancer bone metastasis.

As one of the most common metastatic sites of malignancies, bone has a unique microenvironment that allows metastatic tumor cells to grow and flourish. The fenestrated capillaries in the bone, bone matrix, and bone cells, including osteoblasts and osteoclasts, together maintain the homeostasis of the bone microenvironment. In contrast, tumor-derived factors act on bone components, leading to subsequent bone resorption or excessive bone formation. The various pathways involved also provide multiple targets for therapeutic strategies against bone metastases. In this review, we summarize the curr

The Impact of Ketogenic Nutrition on Obesity and Metabolic Health: Mechanisms and Clinical Implications.

The ketogenic diet (KD) has recently gained increasing popularity. This high-fat, adequate-protein, and carbohydrate-poor eating pattern leads to nutritional ketosis. The KD has long been known for its antidiabetic and antiepileptic effects and has been used therapeutically in these contexts. Recently, the KD, due to its effectiveness in inducing weight loss, has also been proposed as a possible approach to treat obesity. Likewise, a KD is currently explored as a supporting element in the treatment of obesity-associated metabolic disorders and certain forms of cancer. Here, we discuss the meta

A Clinical Viewpoint on the Use of Targeted Therapy in Advanced Gastric Cancer.

The development of therapies for advanced gastric cancer (GC) has made significant progress over the past few years. The identification of new molecules and molecular targets is expanding our understanding of the disease's intricate nature. The end of the classical oncology era, which relied on well-studied chemotherapeutic agents, is giving rise to novel and unexplored challenges, which will cause a significant transformation of the current oncological knowledge in the next few years. The integration of established clinically effective regimens in additional studies will be crucial in managin

Secondary Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Diseases.

Fragility fracture is a worldwide problem and a main cause of disability and impaired quality of life. It is primarily caused by osteoporosis, characterized by impaired bone quantity and or quality. Proper diagnosis of osteoporosis is essential for prevention of fragility fractures. Osteoporosis can be primary in postmenopausal women because of estrogen deficiency. Secondary forms of osteoporosis are not uncommon in both men and women. Most systemic illnesses and organ dysfunction can lead to osteoporosis. The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological bone homeostasis by control

Involvement of the Opioid Peptide Family in Cancer Progression.

Peptides mediate cancer progression favoring the mitogenesis, migration, and invasion of tumor cells, promoting metastasis and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and facilitating angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis. Tumor cells overexpress peptide receptors, crucial targets for developing specific treatments against cancer cells using peptide receptor antagonists and promoting apoptosis in tumor cells. Opioids exert an antitumoral effect, whereas others promote tumor growth and metastasis. This review updates the findings regarding the involvement of opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins

Nanobodies for Medical Imaging: About Ready for Prime Time?

Recent advances in medical treatments have been revolutionary in shaping the management and treatment landscape of patients, notably cancer patients. Over the last decade, patients with diverse forms of locally advanced or metastatic cancer, such as melanoma, lung cancers, and many blood-borne malignancies, have seen their life expectancies increasing significantly. Notwithstanding these encouraging results, the present-day struggle with these treatments concerns patients who remain largely unresponsive, as well as those who experience severely toxic side effects. Gaining deeper insight into t

This manuscript aims to highlight the role of TBI in the study of complex diseases, as well as its application to the understanding and treatment o

Effect of healthcare professional-delivered health literacy interventions on patient reported outcomes in cancer patients - a systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Cancer impairs quality of life (QoL) and mental wellbeing and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Health literacy (HL) in cancer patients can be an intermediary factor and can improve PROs. For this reason, the aim of this systematic review is to identify HL interventions delivered by healthcare professionals (HCPs) that have an impact on PROs. METHODS: We carried out a comprehensive literature search on 1 December 2023 across nine databases and included studies 1) with HL interventions delivered through HCPs aiming to have an effect on HL, HL-related outcomes, anxiety, depress

Monitoring concentration and lipid signature of plasma extracellular vesicles from HR+ metastatic breast cancer patients under CDK4/6 inhibitors treatment.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived small membrane structures that transport various molecules. They have emerged as potential circulating biomarkers for monitoring responses to cancer therapies. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize plasma-carried EVs in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients treated with first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors (iCDK4/6) combined with endocrine therapy. MBC patients were classified into three groups based on their response to therapy: resistant, intermediate or sensitive. In a prospective cohort, we monitored the con

Development of an Electronic Medical Record-Based Score for Heart Failure Prediction in Cancer Survivors.

BackgroundAwareness of heart failure (HF) as a long-term complication of cancer has led to an interest in HF surveillance among survivors. However, existing HF risk scores are not tailored for survivors and not designed for the use in electronic medical records (EMRs) or administrative data sets where clinical data such as blood pressure and pathology results are often unavailable.ObjectivesThe objective of the study is to develop a cancer-specific incident HF risk score suitable for screening in EMR or administrative data sets.MethodsThe cancer-specific HF prediction from EMRs in survivor hea
