Tumor microenvironment participates in metastasis of pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: This review discusses how the pancreatic cancer microenvironment participates in metastasis, representing a potential target for combination therapy to enhance overall survival.

Recent Advances in Hyperthermia Therapy-Based Synergistic Immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The synergistic mechanism of HTT in immunotherapy, including immunogenic cell death and reversal of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment is discussed, and these strategies could achieve synergistically enhanced therapeutic outcomes against both primary tumors and metastatic lesions, prevent cancer recurrence, and prolong the survival period.

Metabolism of pancreatic cancer: paving the way to better anticancer strategies.

TL;DR: Investigations of metabolism not only benefit the understanding of carcinogenesis and cancer progression but also provide new insights for treatments against pancreatic cancer.

Niraparib activates interferon signaling and potentiates anti-PD-1 antibody efficacy in tumor models

TL;DR: Results indicate that niraparib treatment increases the activity of the type I (alpha) and type II (gamma) interferon pathways and enhances the infiltration of CD8+ cells and CD4+ cells in tumors, and uncovered immunomodulatory effects of nirparib that may sensitize tumors to immune checkpoint blockade therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting hypoxic tumor microenvironment in pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced aggressive and therapeutically resistant phenotypes in both pancreatic cancerous and stromal cells and focus on innovative therapies targeting the tumor hypoxic microenvironment itself, which hold great potential to overcome the resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and to enhance antitumor efficacy and reduce toxicity to normal tissues.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer statistics, 2016

TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer statistics in China, 2015

TL;DR: Many of the estimated cancer cases and deaths can be prevented through reducing the prevalence of risk factors, while increasing the effectiveness of clinical care delivery, particularly for those living in rural areas and in disadvantaged populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
