PURPOSE The optimal therapeutic sequence of the adjuvant chemotherapy component preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer is controversial. Induction before CRT may be associated better efficacy and compliance. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total 108 were randomly assigned to arm A-preoperative capecitabine, oxaliplatin, concurrent radiation followed by surgery four cycles postoperative capecitabine oxaliplatin (CAPOX)-or B-induction CAPOX surgery....
PDL1 blockade produces remarkable clinical responses, thought to occur by T cell reactivation through prevention of PDL1-PD1 inhibitory interactions. Here, we find that cell-intrinsic signaling protects cancer cells from interferon (IFN) cytotoxicity and accelerates tumor progression. inhibited IFN signal transduction a conserved class sequence motifs mediate crosstalk with signaling. Abrogation expression or antibody-mediated strongly sensitized STAT3/caspase-7-dependent pathway. Moreover,...

PD-L1 tumor expression is a widely used biomarker for patient stratification in PD-L1/PD-1 blockade anticancer therapies, particularly lung cancer. However, the reliability of this marker still under debate. Moreover, expressed by many immune cell types, and little known on relevance systemic PD-L1⁺ cells responses to checkpoint blockade. We present two clinical cases patients with non-small cancer (NSCLC) PD-L1-negative tumors treated atezolizumab that showed either objective or...
Preclinical studies suggest that a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) blockade may play role in the preoperative treatment of rectal adenocarcinoma; however, how to combine anti-VEGF drugs with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and/or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains controversial.To study effect aflibercept plus modified fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) induction CT prior standard CRT total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery patients high-risk adenocarcinoma.In Grupo...
Single-agent immunotherapy has been widely accepted as frontline treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high tumor PD-L1 expression, but most patients do not respond and the mechanisms of resistance are well known. Several works have highlighted immunosuppressive activities myeloid subpopulations, including low-density neutrophils (LDNs), although context in which these cells play their role is defined. We prospectively monitored LDNs peripheral blood from NSCLC...
Precision medicine in oncology aims to identify the most beneficial interventions based on a patient's individual features and disease. However, disparities exist when providing cancer care patients an individual's sex.To discuss how sex differences impact epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, disease progression, response treatment, with focus data from Spain.Genetic environmental factors (social or economic inequalities, power imbalances, discrimination) that contribute...
Abstract Many cancer patients do not benefit from PD-L1/PD-1 blockade immunotherapies. PD-1 and LAG-3 co-upregulation in T-cells is one of the major mechanisms resistance by establishing a highly dysfunctional state T-cells. To identify shared features associated to PD-1/LAG-3 dysfunctionality human cancers T-cells, multiomic expression profiles were obtained for all TCGA immune infiltrates. A signature was found which regulated immune, metabolic, genetic, epigenetic pathways, but especially...

Methods: A decision-tree model developed estimate cost a after curative treatment with an initial complete response primary tumor over 5-year time horizon. Clinical parameters were collected by multidisciplinary group experts also...

Abstract Recent studies highlight the importance of baseline functional immunity for immune checkpoint blockade therapies. High‐dimensional systemic profiling is performed in a cohort non‐small‐cell lung cancer patients undergoing PD‐L1/PD‐1 immunotherapy. Responders show high myeloid phenotypic diversity peripheral blood. To quantify it, we define index as potential biomarker response. This parameter correlates with elevated activated monocytic cells and decreased granulocytic phenotypes....

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of dead in Spain. About half patients will eventually develop distant metastases. However, as treatment options are expanding, prognosis has steadily improved over last decades. Management advanced CRC should be discussed within an experienced multidisciplinary team to select most appropriate systemic (chemotherapy and targeted agents) integrate surgical or ablative procedures when indicated. Disease site extent, resectability, tumor...
