To evaluate the prognostic significance of biological factors VEGF-A, sVEGF-R1, VEGF-D, FGF, EGF, EGFR, IGF-1, IGF-2, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, somatotropin-releasing factor (GHRH) in kidney tissues (tumour tissue, tissue of the perifocal zone and conditionally intact tissue) in local and generalized clear cell renal cancer using ROC analysis.Materials and methods. Two groups of patients were included in the study. Group 1 comprised 50 patients with local kidney cancer (T1–3N0M0), while group 2 comprised 50 patients with metastatic kidney cancer (T1–4N0M1). 10% cytosolic fractions of the kidney tumour tissue were examined. The content of growth factors — somatotropinreleasing factor (GHRH), somatotropin-releasing factor (GHRH) — was determined by the ELISA assay using standard test systems. An assessment of prognostically unfavourable factors that significantly affect the generalization of the tumour process was carried out using binary logistic regression and ROC analysis.Results. The performed ROC analysis revealed diagnostically significant progression biomarkers and their critical values for clear cell renal cancer (for conditionally intact tissue, these values were: VEGF-A ≤ 9107.9 pg/g of tissue; VEGF-R1 ≤ 122.8 ng/g of tissue; FGF ≤ 364.7 pg/g of tissue; IGF-2 ≤ 148 ng/g of tissue; for perifocal tissue, VEGF-A ≤ 5839.6 pg/g of tissue; for tumour tissue, VEGF-A > 9622.5 pg/g of tissue, FGF ≤ 435.1 pg/g of tissue, somatotropin-releasing factor (GHRH) ≤ 158.6 ng/g of tissue). The obtained data contribute to optimization of the disease prognosis.Conclusion. It is established that the most prognostically significant markers of clear cell renal cancer progression include VEGF-A, FGF, somatotropin-releasing factor (GHRH), which can serve as an additional criterion for the differential diagnosis of progression and monitoring of clear cell renal cancer.

This fact determined the emergence of numerous immunotherapeutic approaches, including that of adoptive cell therapy (ACT). In this article, we set out to describe the basic methods of adoptive cell cancer therapy, their application and development prospects. The first part of the article deals with the significance of immunotherapeutic methods for cancer treatment and describes the current state of the problem. The main part of the article provides information on the mechanisms of adoptive T cell (unmodified and genetically modified) transfer, the creation of dendritic cell vaccines and cytokine-induced killers (CIK). In addition, a review of recent achievements in the introduction of the aforementioned methods into the clinical practice is carried out. The conclusion is made that adoptive cell therapy can be considered as one of the most promising methods of cancer immunotherapy, which should be optimized for more effective use in the treatment of cancer.","PeriodicalId":22147,"journal":{"name":"South Russian Journal of Cancer","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82055327","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}
