A high density of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and CD20+ B correlates with prolonged survival in patients a wide variety human cancers, including high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). However, the potential impact mature dendritic (DCs) shaping immune contexture HGSC, their role establishment cell-dependent antitumor immunity, prognostic value for HGSC remain unclear. We harnessed immunohistochemical tests biomolecular analyses to demonstrate that DC-LAMP+ DCs is robustly associated...
Abstract Intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) have been associated with improved outcome in various cohorts of patients cancer, reflecting their contribution to the development tumor-targeting immunity. Here, we demonstrate that high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) contains distinct immune aggregates varying degrees organization and maturation. Specifically, mature TLSs (mTLS) as forming only 16% HGSOCs relatively elevated tumor mutational burden (TMB) are an increased...
In multiple oncological settings, expression of the coinhibitory ligand PD-L1 by malignant cells and tumor infiltration immune expressing receptors such as PD-1, CTLA4, LAG-3, or TIM-3 conveys prognostic predictive information. Conversely, impact these features microenvironment on disease outcome among high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) patients remains controversial.We harnessed a retrospective cohort 80 chemotherapy-naïve HGSC to investigate CD8+ T cells, CD20+ B DC-LAMP+ dendritic well...
Background The immunological microenvironment of primary high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) has a major impact on disease outcome. Conversely, little is known the metastatic HGSCs and its potential influence patient survival. Here, we explore clinical relevance configuration HGSC metastases. Methods RNA sequencing was employed 24 paired tumor (P-TME) (M-TME) chemotherapy-naive samples. Immunohistochemistry used to evaluate infiltration by CD8 + T cells, CD20 B DC-LAMP (lysosomal-associated...
The successful implementation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in the clinical management various solid tumors has raised considerable expectations for patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). However, EOC is poorly responsive to ICIs due immunologic features including limited tumor mutational burden (TMB) and poor lymphocytic infiltration. An autologous dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine (DCVAC) recently been shown be safe significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) a...

Karcinom endometria nadále zůstává nejčastější malignitou v gynekologii rozvinutých zemích. Prevalence roste s věkem a zároveň výskyt onemocnění je častější mezi obézními ženami. Jedná se o relativně nízkou mortalitou, protože převážně bývá zachyceno časném stadiu, kdy omezeno pouze na dělohu. Chirurgická léčba hraje klíčovou roli léčbě jeho raných, lokalizovaných stadiích. V posledních letech zaznamenáváme odklon od tradičních metod operačního přístupu z otevřené laparotomie ve prospěch...
Navzdory klesající incidenci a účinné prevenci představuje karcinom hrdla dělohy v České republice nadále veliký společenský medicínský problém. Ročně se naší zemi diagnostikuje více než 700 případů zhoubného onemocnění dělohy, přičemž asi 300 pacientek ročně tomuto podlehne. Mezioborová spolupráce, zkušenosti jednotlivých aplikujících odborníků (lékařů, sester, medicínských fyziků asistentů atd.), moderní přístrojové vybavení i dostupnost inovativních léků mají obrovský dopad na stále...
Chirurgická léčba zhoubných novotvarů hrdla děložního prodělala za poslední dekády mnoho změn. Přes jednoduché operace a následnou radikalitu léčby až po postupnou přeměnu k personalizované medicíně. V článku se snažíme retrospektivně zhodnotit vývoj chirurgické od počátků chirurgie současnost.
Karcinom vaječníku je heterogenní onemocnění s celkově špatnou prognózou, jehož léčba by měla být nastavena ohledem na kvalitu života a přežití pacientky. Základem správného nastavení léčebné strategie kvalitní předoperační diagnostika mezioborová spolupráce.
