TLDR
Current theories of the causes of autoantibody production in cancer, namely: 1) defects in tolerance and inflammation, 2) changes in protein expression levels, 3) altered protein structure, and 4) cellular death mechanisms are summarized.

Progress and prospects of early detection in lung cancer

TL;DR: Despite significant developments in the oncological management of late stage lung cancer over recent years, survival remains poor and the UK Office for National Statistics reported that patients diagnosed with distant metastatic disease had a 1-year survival rate of just 15–19% compared with 81–85% for stage I.

Autoantibodies: Opportunities for Early Cancer Detection

TL;DR: Serum immunobiomarkers detected for a range of cancers at an early stage before the development of clinical symptoms could supplement current screening modalities to aid early diagnosis of high-risk populations and assist the clinical management of patients.

Region-specific permeability of the blood-brain barrier upon pericyte loss.

TL;DR: It is shown that BBB permeability is heterogeneous in pdgf-b ret/ret mice, being significantly higher in the cortex, striatum and hippocampus compared to the interbrain and midbrain, and it is suggested that additional, locally-acting mechanisms may contribute to control of transport.

Autoantibodies as diagnostic and prognostic cancer biomarker: detection techniques and approaches

TL;DR: This review can potentially guide the researchers towards the development of robust, reliable and sensitive detection strategies for tumor-associated autoantibodies and translation of these biomarkers to real clinical settings for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer.

A genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis

TL;DR: A model for the genetic basis of colorectal neoplasia that includes the following salient features is presented, which may be applicable to other common epithelial neoplasms, in which tumors of varying stage are more difficult to study.

Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer

Ludmil B. Alexandrov, +84 more
- 22 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that hypermutation localized to small genomic regions, ‘kataegis’, is found in many cancer types, and this results reveal the diversity of mutational processes underlying the development of cancer.

Cancer Immunoediting: Integrating Immunity’s Roles in Cancer Suppression and Promotion

TL;DR: A unifying conceptual framework called “cancer immunoediting,” which integrates the immune system’s dual host-protective and tumor-promoting roles is discussed.

Cancer genes and the pathways they control.

TL;DR: The purposes of this review are to highlight examples of progress in many areas of cancer research, indicate where knowledge is scarce and point out fertile grounds for future investigation.

Oncogenic kinase signalling

TL;DR: How oncogenic conversion of protein kinases results from perturbation of the normal autoinhibitory constraints on kinase activity is emphasized and an update is provided on the role of deregulated PI(3)K/Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin/p70S6K signalling in human malignancies.
