The immunogenicity of ALDHhigh human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cancer stem cells in vitro
Evaluation of [image: gr1ab.sml] With the exception of human papilloma virus-16 (HPV-16) associated cancers, the 5-year survival rate of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients has not improved during the past three decades, and recurrence rates and morbidity associated with therapy remain high. The major reasons attributed to the limited survival rate are late diagnosis, disease recurrence, distant metastasis and resistance to therapy. In particular, even for HPV-16 related cancers, cause of cancer death is primarily from distant metastases that may be related... περισσότερα »
Weekly versus 3-weekly cisplatin during adjuvant radiotherapy for high-risk head and neck cancer
A comparison of [image: gr1.sml] [image: Figure thumbnail fx1] Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with primary surgery have a very high risk of recurrence if resection margins are positive and/or if there is extra-capsular extension of lymph node metastases. Combined analysis of two phase 3 studies demonstrated that these patients derive benefit from adding high dose cisplatin (100mg/m2 at day 1, day 22 and day 43) to adjuvant radiotherapy with regard to loco-regional control, disease free and overall survival [1–3].

The histopathologic features of adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) are relatively nonspecific, resulting in misdiagnosis of other cancers as AGCT, a problem that has not been well characterized.

Nearly half of the patients with 1–4 cm WDTC who are eligible for lobectomy under current guidelines would require completion TT based on pathological characteristics of the initial lobe. Surgeons, endocrinologists, and patients need to balance the relative benefits, risks, and costs of initial TT versus the possible need for reoperative completion TT.

Immune checkpoint blockade with concurrent electrochemotherapy in advanced melanoma: a retrospective multicenter analysis
Abstract Growing evidence suggests that concurrent loco-regional and systemic treatment modalities may lead to synergistic anti-tumor effects in advanced melanoma. In this retrospective multicenter study, we evaluate the use of electrochemotherapy (ECT) combined with ipilimumab or PD-1 inhibition. We investigated patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma who received the combination of ECT and immune checkpoint blockade for distant or cutaneous metastases within 4 weeks. Clinical and laboratory data were collected and analyzed with respect to safety and efficacy. A total of... περισσότερα »
