The use of tobacco in various forms has escalated the problem to be the leading cause of cancer in males in India. Many patients postpone surgery for fear of facial mutilation and therefore present with Late stage Buccal Cancer. The management of Late stage buccal cancer has very few options. Conventional surgery, chemotherapy and radiation give very little relief to patients. The occurrence of inevitable recurrence after surgery due to Field cancerisation makes the surgery a futile exercise in controlling the spread of the tumor. The treatment in unresectable tumors which is given as palliation is often limited to pain control and bypassing of oral functions by inserting a nasogastric tube. The mortality rate has remained changed over last 10 years. Therefore Quality of life in these patients has become a discussion matter in most cancer forums. The main cause of the suffering of the patient is the bulk of the tumour. Intralesional Laser ablation offers an alternative way to destroy the bulk of the tumor. The reduction in tumor volume allows good restitution of oral function and pain. There were 49 patients observed in this study. Many patients went into remission after laser ablation and Chemotherapy. The ensuing results were analyzed taking into account Quality and Quantity of life and the resulting Quality index was applied on the patients. Most patients had a good Quality Index post-procedure. All patients were highly satisfied with the procedure. There was an enhanced benefit noted in the quality of life and the expected overall survival time of the patients. Conclusion: Laser Ablation offers an alternative treatment in late-stage Oral Cancer for palliation as well as remission.","PeriodicalId":15189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutic Oncology","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90604178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We therefore investigated the utility of baseline MPs in the clinical setting of patients with NSCLC. Quantification of MPs in the plasma was performed by flowcytometry. Baseline MP values were correlated with clinical patients' characteristics, estimated tumor volume (ETV) and treatment response. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were plotted to discriminate between patients and controls in order to determine the diagnostic value of circulating MPs in NSCLC. Our prospective study included 134 NSCLC patients (98 at initial diagnosis, ID and 36 at relapse, R) and 30 healthy individuals. The mean of baseline MP numbers was significantly higher in patients presented either at ID or R than in controls (p<0.0001). Basal MP numbers were inversely correlated with ETV values (p=0.04). In addition, the difference in MP levels at diagnosis was significant according to tumor histology (p=0.02) and primary tumor size (p=0.0007). Using ROC analysis, the optimal cutoff value for baseline MPs was 1307 events/µL with a sensitivity and a specificity of 67.3% and 90.0%, respectively. High MPs expression was significantly associated with low-level smoking degree (p=0.001), non-squamous cell types (p=0.017) and decreased tumor size (p=0.003). Our results suggest that high baseline MP values could be an indicator of tumor growth inhibition in NSSLC. Furthermore, high expression of circulating MPs at diagnosis might predict good prognosis in NSCLC patients.","PeriodicalId":15189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutic Oncology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87072180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract The standard treatment for ovarian cancer is surgical debulking followed by platinum- taxane-based chemotherapy. Although most patients are initially responsive to this therapy, patients in advanced stages eventually relapse and die. New therapeutic approaches using immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have been less promising in ovarian cancer compared to other tumor types, resulting in durable tumor regression in only a small subset of ovarian cancer patients. Because previous studies showed immunomodulatory effects following co-treatment with cisplatin and the thrombin inhibitor dabigatran etexilate (C/D) in a preclinical animal model of ovarian cancer, we explored to what extent this co-treatment may enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of ICB in the ID8 tumor model that is resistant to ICB. Whereas cisplatin or dabigatran treatment alone or co-treatment with cisplatin and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) demonstrated little significant effect on tumor spread, co-treatment with C/D with or without anti-PD-1 mAb significantly reduced ID8 tumor burden and increased peritoneal INF-γ producing CD8+ T-cells after only 2 weeks of treatment. Moreover, C/D cotreatment with ICB conferred a durable survival advantage over C/D or ICB alone. The enhanced anti-tumor effect and survival with C/D co-treatment and ICB compared to that with C/D or ICB alone was accompanied by decreases in immunosuppressive M2- macrophages, decreases in pro-tumorigenic cytokines, and corresponding increases in tumor-infiltrating, IFN-γ-producing CD8+ T-cells. Our findings provide proof-of-concept evidence that the addition of ICB with thrombin inhibition in frontline platinum-based chemotherapy may be a potential new therapeutic treatment combination for advanced ovarian cancer.","PeriodicalId":15189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutic Oncology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89897094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The histological landmarks of glioblastoma are massive necrosis and prominent angiogenesis. Glioblastoma vasculature is structurally and function-ally aberrant, characterized by tortuous and leaky vessels, with an increased diameter and significantly thickened basement membranes. This altered vasculature enhances tumor hypoxia and affects the possibility of effective drug delivery to the tumor. Many efforts have been spent in developing therapeutic strategies targeting glioblastoma neo-angiogen-esis, with the dual aim of inhibiting tumor growth and stabilizing tumor vasculature, therefore improving chemotherapy delivery to the tumor. Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), has been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for recurrent glioblastoma, but unfortunately it seems to have limited efficacy in terms of overall survival.

We examined whether bovine HDL (bHDL) and three dual-domain peptides, namely AEM-28 and its analog AEM-28-2, and HM-10/10, affect tumor growth and development in mouse models of ovarian and colon cancer. We demonstrate that bHDL inhibits mouse colorectal cancer cell line CT26-mediated lung tumor development, and mouse ovarian cancer cell line ID8-mediated tumor burden. We also demonstrate that, although to different degrees, dual-domain peptides inhibit cell viability of mouse and human ovarian and colon cancer cell lines, but not that of normal human colonic epithelial cells or NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts. Dual-domain peptides administered subcutaneously or in a chow diet decrease CT26 cell-mediated tumor burden, tumor growth, and tumor dissemination in BALB/c mice. Plasma levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are significantly reduced in mice that received bHDL and the dual-domain peptides, suggesting that reduction by effecting accumulation and/or synthesis of pro-inflammatory lipids may be one of the mechanisms for the inhibition of tumor development by bHDL and the dual-domain peptides.
