Roles of the immune system in cancer: from tumor initiation to metastatic progression.

TL;DR: An update of recent accomplishments, unifying concepts, and future challenges to study tumor-associated immune cells, with an emphasis on metastatic carcinomas are provided.

The cancer cell

Chadli A

TL;DR: Investigations compel the view that the ratio of the vital capacity to the body length, trunk length, chest circumference, surface area or weight or any combination of these measurements, is too variable to admit of any workable standard or normal value.

Immune cells within the tumor microenvironment: Biological functions and roles in cancer immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The biological functions of immune cells within TME and their roles in cancer immunotherapy are reviewed, and the perspectives of the basic studies for improving the effectiveness of the clinical use are discussed.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the era of increasing myeloid cell diversity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the major genomic and metabolic characteristics of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are discussed and how these characteristics shape MDSC function and could facilitate therapeutic targeting of these cells particularly in cancer and in autoimmune diseases.

FOLFIRINOX versus Gemcitabine for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: FOLFIRINOX was associated with a survival advantage and had increased toxicity as compared with gemcitabine, and is an option for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer and good performance status.

Improvements in survival and clinical benefit with gemcitabine as first-line therapy for patients with advanced pancreas cancer: a randomized trial.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that gemcitabine is more effective than 5-FU in alleviation of some disease-related symptoms in patients with advanced, symptomatic pancreas cancer and confers a modest survival advantage over treatment with5-FU.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restoring function in exhausted CD8 T cells during chronic viral infection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed genes expressed in functionally impaired virus-specific CD8 T cells present in mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), and compared these with the gene profile of functional memory CD8T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The future of immune checkpoint therapy

TL;DR: The way forward for this class of novel agents lies in the ability to understand human immune responses in the tumor microenvironment, which will provide valuable information regarding the dynamic nature of the immune response and regulation of additional pathways that will need to be targeted through combination therapies to provide survival benefit for greater numbers of patients.
