The deployment in Sweden started in 2020 where the used frequencies for 5G in cities are around 3.5 GHz. Recently, we published three case reports on persons that developed the microwave syndrome within short after the installation of 5G base stations close to their dwellings. The health symptoms were attributed to high levels of radiofrequency (RF) radiation measured in their apartments. In this article we examine a family of three persons living at distances of about 50 and 70 meters to two 5G base stations. The base stations are located on the top of two 6-floor buildings and the antennas are directed towards the family’s apartment on the 4 th floor on the opposite side of the street. Measurements in the apartment were made 10 times at every place, each measurement during 1 minute. Highest levels were measured close to the two windows in the master bed room varying from 320 000 to 1 200 000 μW/m 2 . High levels were also found at the window of the son’s room, 121 000 to 490 000 μW/m 2 , and the daughter’s room 34 800 to 166 000 μW/m 2 . Somewhat lower levels were found in the beds at the place of the pillow for all family members. Lowest levels were measured in the kitchen on the opposite side of the apartment, 710 to 3 260 μW/m 2 . Health problems were assessed by using a structured questionnaire similar to our previous studies. The family members reported symptoms included in the microwave syndrome to varying self-estimated degrees. The daughter had the most severe health issues, for example sleeping problems, headache, concentration and memory problems, skin disorders, irregular heartbeat, light sensitivity, anxiety and panic attacks These results are in line with previous case studies showing that deployment of 5G cannot be made without risks to human health, especially for those living or working in the proximity of the base stations.","PeriodicalId":73634,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer science and clinical therapeutics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69348676","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}

These findings emphasize the importance of understanding the biology and function of CAFs in the context of therapy resistance to develop improved treatment strategies for these solid tumors. The function of CAFs in promoting therapy resistance is organ-type specific. In the published literature, we observed an organ-type-specific imbalance regarding CAF’s role in endometrial neoplasms. Here we present a commentary on the innovative and promising approach to studying endometrial and ovarian CAFs in therapy resistance. Our personalized real-time model allows a more comprehensive understanding of CAFs' involvement in developing resistance to specific drugs or combinations. By adopting a tumor-tumor microenvironment (TME) holistic approach, we recognized the importance of studying tumor cells and the surrounding TME to understand disease progression better. Our CAF-based Two-Cell Hybrid Co-Culture model established using CAFs from resected tumor tissue from patients with gynecological cancers provides a relevant and patient-specific context for testing drug resistance. This personalized real-time model has the potential to shed light on the mechanisms by which CAFs contribute to therapy resistance. By studying the interactions between tumor cells and CAFs in this model, one can gain valuable insights into the role of CAFs in driving resistance and identify potential therapeutic targets to overcome it.","PeriodicalId":73634,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer science and clinical therapeutics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136258907","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 liver has a unique endothelial cell (EC)-rich microenvironment, and preclinical studies showed that ECs promote cancer cell survival pathways by secreting soluble factors in a paracrine fashion in other types of cancer. However, the effects of liver ECs on mPDAC have not been elucidated. In this study, we used primary liver ECs and determined that liver EC-secreted factors containing conditioned medium (CM) increased PDAC cell growth, compared to control CM from PDAC cells. Using an unbiased receptor tyrosine kinase array, we identified human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3, also known as ErbB3) as a key mediator of liver EC-induced growth in PDAC cells with HER3 expression (HER3 +ve). We found that EC-secreted neuregulins activated the HER3-AKT signaling axis, and that depleting neuregulins from EC CM or blocking HER3 with an antibody, seribantumab, attenuated EC-induced functions in HER3 +ve PDAC cells, but not in cells without HER3 expression. Furthermore, we determined that EC CM increased PDAC xenograft growth <i>in vivo</i>, and that seribantumab blocked EC-induced growth in xenografts with HER3 expression. These findings elucidated a paracrine role of liver ECs in promoting PDAC cell growth, and identified the HER3-AKT axis as a key mediator in EC-induced functions in HER3 +ve PDAC cells. As over 70% mPDAC express HER3, this study highlights the potential of using HER3-targeted therapies for treating patients with HER3 +ve mPDAC.</p>","PeriodicalId":73634,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer science and clinical therapeutics","volume":"6 4","pages":"431-445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9838560/pdf/nihms-1860370.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10595197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
