Background: A plenty of previous researches have reported the prognostic value of CDC20 (Cell Division Cycle Protein 20) in solid tumors. Nevertheless, these researches were restricted by the small sample databases and the results were not strongly consistent among them.
Methods: We comprehensively searched these relevant studies by PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE, in which publications before March 2017 were included. Pooled HR values for OS were cumulatively pooled and quantitatively analyzed in the meta-analysis.
Results: Hence we composed a meta-analysis based on 8 studies with 1856 patients in order to assess the potential relationship between CDC20 overexpression and OS (overall survival) in human solid tumors. There were a total of 8 studies (n = 1856) assessed in the meta-analysis. What suggested in both univariate and multivariate analysis for survival is that high level of CDC20 expression apparently pointed to poor prognosis. In the univariate analysis, the combined hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 1.75 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-2.86, P = .03). The pooled HR of multivariate analysis for OS was 2.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.10-2.94, P < .001).
Conclusions: The meta-analysis indicated that high level of CDC20 expression is significantly correlated with decreased survival in most case of human solid tumors. In addition, CDC20 shows promise as a meaningful prognostic biomarker and original therapeutic target, on the basis of its expression level in solid tumors.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of defining new imaging criteria to predict less-invasive clinical (c)-stage IA2-IA3 solid predominant lung adenocarcinoma using the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) as the cutoff value.
Methods: Consecutive 364 patients who underwent anatomical resection with mediastinal lymphadenectomy and positron emission tomography for c-stage IA2-IA3 solid predominant lung adenocarcinoma with a tumor diameter < 3 cm were retrospectively evaluated. Less-invasive cancer was defined as the absence of nodal involvement, lymphovascular or pleural invasion, or spread through air spaces.

NI-3201 Is a Bispecific Antibody Mediating PD-L1-Dependent CD28 Co-stimulation on T Cells for Enhanced Tumor Control.

Despite advances in cancer immunotherapy, such as targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, a substantial number of patients harbor tumors that are resistant or relapse. Selective engagement of T-cell co-stimulatory molecules with bispecific antibodies may offer novel therapeutic options by enhancing signal 1-driven activation occurring via T-cell receptor engagement. In this study, we report the development and preclinical characterization of NI-3201, a PD-L1×CD28 bispecific antibody generated on the κλ-body platform that was designed to promote T-cell activity and antitumor function through a dual mechanism of action.

Objectives: Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin or Cbl) plays a crucial role in normal human growth and development, as well as in neurological, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Previous studies reported association of high levels of cobalamin with solid cancers, hematological disorders, and liver diseases. Reporting the frequency of comorbid diseases with high serum Vitamin B12 level in patients attending KSAMC at Madinah.

Solid tumors harbor a complex and dynamic microenvironment that hinders the delivery and efficacy of therapeutic interventions. In this study, we developed and utilized a hybrid, discrete-continuous mathematical model to explore the interplay between solid tumor growth, immune response, tumor-induced angiogenesis, and antiangiogenic drugs. By integrating published data with anti-angiogenic drugs, we elucidate three primary mechanisms by which anti-angiogenesis influences tumor progression and treatment outcomes: reduction in tumor growth rate by mitigating and temporally delaying angiogenesis, normalization of blood vessel structure and function, and improving immune cell extravasation and activation.
