HGSC is a therapeutic challenge, as it recurs in 80 % of patients diagnosed, often as chemoresistant disease. The mechanism of this chemoresistance is not fully elucidated, but it is partly attributed to the ability of HGSC to maintain a stem-like phenotype that enables development of resistance to current therapies. Polycomb Repressor Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1/2) have been implicated in the maintenance of the stem cell compartment through silencing tumor suppressor genes and regulating stem cells. These complexes are comprised of multiple polycomb group (PcG) proteins that play a role in normal development, and when deregulated contribute to the development of cancer [2]. Proteins included in PRC1 include B lymphoma mouse Moloney leukemia virus insertion region (BMI1), RING1, and chromobox (CBX) proteins.</p><p>We aimed to review each of the protein components of PRC1 and their mechanistic relationships to promoting chemoresistant recurrences and propagation of ovarian cancer. Where possible, we reviewed therapeutic investigations of these proteins. We utilized a scoping literature review through Covidence to identify 42 articles meeting criteria for inclusion. The authors identified four relevant articles and the Yale MeSH Analysis Grid Generator was used to establish additional keywords and heading terms. A medical librarian used these terms and articles to draft an initial search strategy within each of the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science Core Collection, yielding 439 articles based on title and abstract. Abstracts were independently reviewed by the authors, identifying 77 articles for full text review, of which 35 were ultimately excluded, leaving 42 articles for full review.</p><p>Our review identified the currently known mechanisms of the subunits of PRC1 that contribute to HGSC development, recurrence, and chemoresistance.

In this review, we will try to answer whether the currently available data on adjuvant anti-PD1 therapy of stage IIB-IV resected melanoma is sufficient to make this strategy available to all patients. We will also discuss the economic impact of this therapy on healthcare system budgets. Recent studies suggest that the high cost of cancer drugs may affect access to these agents globally by raising questions of sustainability for patients and society.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11358,"journal":{"name":"Critical reviews in oncology/hematology","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 104443"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141725308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a scoping search and two expert sessions, five factors were identified: feasibility, test journey, wider implications of diagnostic results, organisation of laboratories, and “scientific spillover”. Subsequently, a systematic search identified 83 studies collecting mainly evidence for the factors “test journey” and “wider implications of diagnostic results”.

Pharmacological inhibition of FSP1 shows potential in sensitizing cancer cells to ferroptosis and overcoming resistance to conventional therapies, offering new avenues for precision medicine approaches. Identifying novel FSP1 inhibitors and their synergistic effects with existing therapies presents exciting opportunities for therapeutic development.

Both proteomics and transcriptomics reveal that HN1 is closely associated with severe disease progression, poor prognostic and shorter overall survival. HN1's involvement in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis has been extensively investigated. Overexpression of HN1 is associated with increased tumor growth and disease progression, while its depletion leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The pivotal role of HN1 in cancer progression, particularly in proliferation, migration, and invasion, underscores its significance in cancer metastasis. Validation of the efficacy and safety of HN1 inhibition, along with the development of diagnostic methods to determine HN1 expression levels in patients, is essential for the translation of HN1-targeted therapies into clinical practice.
