Cancer Hits a Nerve Solid tumors sculpt their microenvironment to maximize growth and metastatic potential. This concept is illustrated most famously by tumor angiogenesis, process whereby induce the of new blood vessels boost supply oxygen blood-borne nutrients. Magnon et al. (p. 10.1126/science.1236361 ; see Perspective Isaacs ) now highlight important contribution made another microenvironmental component—developing autonomic nerve fibers—to metastasis. In mouse models prostate cancer,...

The number and diversity of cancer therapeutics in the pipeline has increased over past decade due to an enhanced understanding biology identification novel therapeutic targets. At same time, cost bringing new drugs market regulatory burdens associated with clinical drug development have progressively increased. finite eligible patients limited financial resources available evaluate promising represent rate-limiting factors effort translate preclinical discoveries into next generation...
Sipuleucel-T, an autologous cellular immunotherapy, was investigated in a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial to determine its biologic activity androgen-dependent prostate cancer (ADPC).Patients with detectable by serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following radical prostatectomy received 3 4 months of androgen suppression therapy, and were then randomized (2:1) receive sipuleucel-T (n = 117) or control 59). The primary endpoint time biochemical failure (BF) defined as PSA ≥ 3.0...
Abstract Purpose: Antitumor activity of cancer immunotherapies may elicit immune responses to nontargeted (secondary) tumor antigens, or antigen spread. We evaluated humoral spread after treatment with sipuleucel-T, an immunotherapy for asymptomatic minimally symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate (mCRPC), designed target prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP; primary antigen). Experimental Design: Serum samples from patients mCRPC enrolled in the placebo-controlled phase III IMPACT...

Four hundred and ninety-six people completed questionnaires about QoL, functioning, symptoms, co-morbidity, cognitions personal social factors. Disease, treatment co-morbidity data abstracted from case notes. Multiple linear regression identified modifiable unmodifiable independently predictive global (EORTC-QLQ-C30).

We studied recurrence-free survival after partial vs radical nephrectomy for clinical stage T1 renal cell carcinoma in all patients and those up staged to pathological T3a.We retrospectively reviewed the records of 1,250 who underwent or clinically localized between 2006 2014. Recurrence-free was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method evaluated as a function type with log rank test Cox models, adjusting clinical, radiological characteristics.A total 86 recurrences (7%) were observed during...
Abstract The genetic transfer of antigen receptors is a powerful approach to rapidly generate tumor-specific T lymphocytes. Unlike the physiologic T-cell receptor, chimeric (CARs) encompass immunoglobulin variable regions or receptor ligands as their recognition moiety, thus permitting cells recognize tumor antigens in absence human leukocyte expression. CARs encompassing CD3ζ chain activating domain induce proliferation vitro, but limited survival. requirements for genetically targeted...
In a world confronted with new and connected challenges, novel strategies are needed to help children adults achieve their full potential, predict, prevent treat disease, equity in services outcomes. Australia's Generation Victoria (GenV) cohorts designed for multi-pronged discovery (what could improve outcomes?) intervention research actually works, how much whom?). Here, we describe the key features of its protocol.
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcomes for patients with Gleason score 8–10 prostate cancer treated brachytherapy, external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and hormonal therapy (HT). PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 181 scores were from 1994 to 2006 a 103 Pd implant (prescription dose 100 Gy), 45 Gy of EBRT 9 months HT. The median (range) follow‐up was 65 (24–150) months; freedom biochemical failure (FBF) rates calculated using Phoenix definition. RESULTS 8‐year actuarial FBF, distant metastases,...
Background: Prostate cancer is the most common affecting men in United States. Management options for localized disease exist, yet an evidence-based criterion standard treatment still has to emerge. Although 5-year survival rates approach 98%, all carry possibility significant side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. It therefore recommended that patients be actively involved decision process. We have developed Internet/CD-ROM-based multimedia Interactive...
Treatment options for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have expanded rapidly in recent years. Given the significant economic burden, we sought perform a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of contemporary treatment paradigm mCRPC. We devised protocol consisting sipuleucel-T, enzalutamide, abiraterone, docetaxel, radium-223, and cabazitaxel. estimated number length treatments each therapy using dosing schedules or progression free survival data from published clinical...

We describe the safety of sipuleucel-T using an integrated analysis 4 randomized, controlled studies in patients with prostate cancer.Adverse events, survival data and laboratory evaluations were examined for common, rare latent events.In 5% or more cases some adverse events reported at a rate least twice that controls, including chills 53.1%, pyrexia 31.3%, headache 18.1%, myalgia 11.8%, influenza-like illness 9.7% hyperhidrosis 5.0%. These generally occurred within 1 day infusion, grade 2...
