Objective: To describe the sexual practices and behaviour towards HIV infection among Ecuadorian university students.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study carried out between February 2019 and August 2020 among university students from all over the country. Students aged 18 years and older of each participating institution were contacted by an official email account and invited to fill out a survey through Google Forms.

Background: More efficient therapeutic options for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are needed as the survival at 5 years of metastatic disease is near zero. In this regard, we used a preclinical model of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (SV2-OVA) to assess the safety and efficacy of novel radio-immunotherapy combining hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT) with muPD1-IL2v immunocytokine and muFAP-CD40 bispecific antibody.

Methods: We evaluated the changes in the lung immune microenvironment at multiple timepoints following combination therapies and investigated their underlying antitumor mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths, but early detection can reduce mortality; traditional methods like liquid biopsies have limitations in sensitivity during early stages of CRC.
  • This study analyzes blood samples to discover new RNA biomarkers related to CRC, revealing changes in immune cell activity that occur even before cancer develops.
  • The findings highlight a potential new approach for early CRC screening using a blood test that measures 226 biomarkers linked to immune response changes during CRC progression.
