Methods: Three case reports. Two are females that have breast cancer diagnosed five years before the COVID-19 pandemic. Both received chemotherapy and three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. One male patient had thyroid cancer (diagnosed four years ago) metastasis after receiving three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

MSI occurs due to mutations or hypermethylation of negative MMR proteins MLH1 and PMS2. The accumulation of mutations at microsatellite locus accelerated the development of CRC. Characteristics of CRC patients with MSI are not sensitive to 5FU chemotherapy and have a good clinical outcomes that can be used as a prognostic factor and a predictor of therapy. Therefore MSI detection is needed. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 80 CRC slides obtained from DR. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta and clinical laboratory in 2010-2016. Immunohistochemical staining with anti-MLH1 and anti PMS2 antibodies to see MSI status. Negative MLH1 expression is called MSI MLH1 positive and PMS2 negative expression is called positive MSI PMS2. The association between MSI MLH1 and PMS2 with clinicopathology parameters was analyzed using Chi square. Results: Colorectal cancer patients MSI MLH1 as much as 44 (61.1%), MSI PMS2 as much as 21 (29.2%) and, MSI MLH1 and PMS2 simultaneously as much as 18 (25.0%). MSI MLH1 and PMS2 positive are found in ≥50 years old. The number of male patients is more than women. Most of the patients had a T3-T4 tumor size with advanced stage and well differentiated. MSI MLH1 associated with tumor differentiation (p = 0.011). Conclusion: MSI MLH1 is associated with tumor differentiation (p = 0.011), but, no association with the other clinicopathology parameters.

A late cancer diagnosis can have devastating consequences as many patients miss an important window of time in which cancer treatment can be most effective. As a result, time left untreated can allow cancer to grow and spread to other parts of the body, making treatment even more difficult or impossible at all. A literature review of relevant studies reveals several factors that contribute to delayed cancer diagnosis, including patient-related factors, healthcare system-related factors, and provider-related factors. Commonly and even strangely, for some type’s cancer, patients do not exhibit clear signs until later stages with which the cancer may have metastasized to other parts of the body. This can be seen when cancer screening indicated false negative results, and in this case, delayed diagnosis is unavoidable due to lack of observable symptoms.","PeriodicalId":310821,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Research & Therapy","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117324906","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 aim of this study is to investigate whether droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) using the HER2/EIF2C1 ratio could be an alternative HER2 detection assay in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) BC tissues with low or equivocal HER2 expression. Methods and Patients: We determined HER2 status by ddPCR in 150 FFPE BC tissues previously classified as IHC1+, IHC2+, and IHC3+; 90 of these were previously determined as FISH-negative and FISH-positive. Optimal cutoff thresholds for the HER2/EIF2C1 ratio, determined by the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, were 2.72 (98% sensitivity, 88% specificity) and 2.64 (89.23% sensitivity, 92% specificity) using IHC and FISH as standard methods, respectively. Results: The concordance rate of HER2 status (n=144) determined by IHC/FISH and ddPCR was 89.58% (kappa=0.791, 89.85% sensitivity, 89.33% specificity). The HER2/EIF2C1 ratio in the IHC3+ group was significantly higher than in IHC1+ and IHC2+ groups (P<0.0001). In IHC3+, the concordance between IHC/FISH and ddPCR was 98% (kappa=1.00). In IHC2+ (n=44), the concordance between FISH and ddPCR was 79.54% (kappa=0.579, 65% sensitivity, 91.7% specificity); the HER2/EIF2C1 ratio in FISH-positive cases was significantly higher than in FISH-negative cases (P<0.001). Interestingly, 12% of IHC1+ cases showed HER2 amplification by ddPCR. Conclusion: Thus, ddPCR using the HER2/EIF2C1 ratio is a robust, sensitive, and accurate assay and represents an alternative method to determine HER2 amplification. This technique should be used to clarify HER2 amplification in breast cancer patients with low or equivocal HER2 expression (IHC1+ or IHC2+ with FISH-negative), which may benefit from novel HER2-directed ADCs. The heterogeneity of HER2-expressing cells contributes to discordant results between ddPCR and FISH.","PeriodicalId":310821,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Research & Therapy","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126673130","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 major active compound thymoquinone (TQ) has been shown to have immune regulatory effects in various diseases. Tumor microenvironment is critical for tumor development. Immune cells, particularly T cells, are central players to kill tumor cells and affect tumor progression and metastasis. The impact of TQ on human T cell-mediated anti-tumor response was investigated. Using human PBMCs, we activated T cells with anti-CD3/CD28 in vitro, and treated cells with TQ. First, we tested the impact of TQ on T cell activation, proliferation and apoptosis; second, the anti-tumor effect of T cells after treatment with TQ; last, we determined alterations in T cells gene expression at the RNA level after TQ treatment. TQ treatment increased activation and proliferation of T cells at days 2-4 and more activation-induced cell death at day 3. After 7-11 days, TQ-treated cells showed less survival than cells treated with control medium. At low TQ concentration (10uM), treatment induced more CD3+ T cell proliferation; while at 20uM and 50uM TQ showed more cytotoxic effect to T cells, and more cell death. When co-cultured with multiple types of cancer cells, TQ-treated T cells exhibited significantly enhanced anti-tumor activity, indicated by more tumor cell apoptosis and less cell expansion. Gene expression study showed upregulation of NFAT signaling pathway, including 10+ fold up-regulation of IL-2, which might explain the enhanced anti-tumor effect after TQ treatment. In summary, TQ treatment can enhance human T cell-mediated anti-tumor effect in vitro. This immunoregulatory function of black seed oil could potentially benefit patients of different cancer types.","PeriodicalId":310821,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Research & Therapy","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128900511","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}
