The Expression of Anti-Müllerian Hormone Type II Receptor (AMHRII) in Non-Gynecological Solid Tumors Offers Potential for Broad Therapeutic Intervention in Cancer.

The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) belongs to the TGF-β family and plays a key role during fetal sexual development. Various reports have described the expression of AMH type II receptor (AMHRII) in human gynecological cancers including ovarian tumors. According to qRT-PCR results confirmed by specific In-Situ Hybridization (ISH) experiments, AMHRII mRNA is expressed in an extremely restricted number of normal tissues.

[Physiopathological mechanisms of immune-related adverse events induced by anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies in cancer treatment].

Recently, the emergence of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies called immune check-point inhibitors (ICPI) has modified the landscape of anti-cancer treatments. These therapeutics are associated with immune related adverse events that affect many organs, most commonly skin, digestive tract, endocrine glands and lungs. This review summarizes the main physiopathological hypotheses on the mechanisms of these toxicities.
