Overcoming cancer therapeutic bottleneck by drug repurposing

TL;DR: This review presents various promising repurposed non-oncology drugs for clinical cancer management and classify these candidates into their proposed administration for either mono- or drug combination therapy.

Drug repurposing for breast cancer therapy: Old weapon for new battle.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the current scenario of drug repurposing for the breast cancer treatment is described and it is suggested that serendipity plays a major role in the drug development.

Immobilized platelets support human colon carcinoma cell tethering, rolling and firm adhesion under dynamic flow conditions

TL;DR: Analysis of the ability of 3 human colon carcinoma cell lines to bind to surface-anchored platelets under flow and to identify the receptors involved in these processes suggests that platelets primarily recruit LS174T cells through a 2-step, sequential process of adhesive interactions that is distinct from that elaborated for neutrophils.

Hallmarks of cancer: the next generation.

TL;DR: Recognition of the widespread applicability of these concepts will increasingly affect the development of new means to treat human cancer.

Inflammation and cancer

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that the tumour microenvironment, which is largely orchestrated by inflammatory cells, is an indispensable participant in the neoplastic process, fostering proliferation, survival and migration.

The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance antitumour immunity with the potential to produce durable clinical responses.

Cancer Genome Landscapes

TL;DR: This work has revealed the genomic landscapes of common forms of human cancer, which consists of a small number of “mountains” (genes altered in a high percentage of tumors) and a much larger number of "hills" (Genes altered infrequently).
