Background: Cervical cancer's lymphatic spread primarily begins from the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), underlining their pivotal role in disease metastasis. However, these nodes' immune gene expression profiles and immunoregulation mechanisms have yet to be explored.

Methods: Our study aimed to elucidate the immune cell populations and their roles in the immune gene expression profile of negative SLNs compared with positive SLNs and non-SLNs using Nanostring RNA seq analysis.

Expansion of antigen-experienced CD8 T cells is critical for the success of tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL)-adoptive cell therapy (ACT) in patients with cancer. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) acts as a key regulator of CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte functions by promoting expansion and cytotoxic capability. Therefore, it is essential to comprehend mechanistic barriers to IL-2 sensing in the tumour microenvironment to implement strategies to reinvigorate IL-2 responsiveness and T cell antitumour responses.

Introduction: In early cervical cancer (EEC), 10 to 15% of patients without nodal metastasis (N-) will suffer from recurrences with further similar survival as N+ patients. However, no clinical, imaging or pathological risk-factor is today available to identify them. In the present study, we hypothesized that the N- histologically characterized patients who present a poor prognosis could be patients for whom metastasis are missed by classical procedure.

  • The study investigates the histological response of peritoneal metastases (PM) from recurrent tubo-ovarian cancer (TOVC) to systemic chemotherapy using the Peritoneal Regression Grading System (PRGS) and compares it to the Chemotherapy Response Score (CRS).
  • The analysis included 38 patients and revealed various levels of treatment response, with 26% achieving complete response and an overall mean PRGS of 2.3.
  • While PRGS showed a positive correlation with the Peritoneal Cancer Index and an inverse correlation with CRS, it did not correlate with overall survival, indicating a need for further research on its significance as a treatment response marker.
