Abundance of Tumor-Infiltrating B Cells in Human Epithelial Malignancies.

Cancer is a major global health problem. The type of malignant neoplasm and the potency of the immune response against tumors are two of the key factors influencing the outcome of the disease. The degree of tumor infiltration by lymphocytes plays an important role in antitumor response development, generally correlating with a favorable prognosis of treatment for certain cancers.

Soluble B7-H3 in Colorectal Cancer.

We present the results of comparative ELISA of the concentration of soluble form of immunity checkpoint B7-H3 (sB7-H3) in the serum of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) at different stages before treatment and healthy control donors. The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the median levels of sB7-H3 in the blood serum of CRC patients (19.66 ng/ml) and healthy donors (16.

Total neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancer: a network meta-analysis of randomized trials.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for rectal carcinoma in comparison with conventional chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was done using NetMetaXL and WinBUGS.

Blood Plasma Metabolome Profiling at Different Stages of Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Early diagnostics significantly improves the survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is the prevailing type of adult kidney cancer. However, the absence of clinically obvious symptoms and effective screening strategies at the early stages result to disease progression and survival rate reducing. The study was focused on revealing of potential low molecular biomarkers for early-stage RCC.
