Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original fourteen chapter book is a brief, slightly autobiographic tale of medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and breast cancer patients in a well-established cancer center in Texas, who pursued the goal of cure for breast cancer. The evolution of improved outcomes in the treatment of microscopic metastatic breast cancer is also the story of the development of adjuvant chemotherapy for post-operative breast disease. The adjuvant therapy of breast cancer came about with the realization that this malignancy, when diagnosed in most patients, had spread beyond the confines of the primary cancer. Patient histories in the form of Case Studies are used to illustrate certain issues Devoted to the development of the chemotherapeutic regimens that currently are used to treat patients with advanced breast cancer
Download or read book Tumor Microenvironment written by Peter P. Lee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the biological processes relevant to the immune phenotypes of cancer and their significance for immune responsiveness, based on the premise that malignant cells manipulate their surroundings through an evolutionary process that is controlled by interactions with innate immune sensors as well as the adaptive recognition of self/non-self. Checkpoint inhibitor therapy is now an accepted new form of cancer treatment. Other immuno-oncology approaches, such as adoptive cell therapy and metabolic inhibitors, have also shown promising results for specific indications. Immune resistance is common, however, limiting the efficacy of immunotherapy in many common cancer types. The reasons for such resistance are diverse and peculiar to the immune landscapes of individual cancers, and to the treatment modality used. Accordingly, approaches to circumvent resistance need to take into account context-specific genetic, biological and environmental factors that may affect the cancer immune cycle, and which can best be understood by studying the target tissue and correlated systemic immune markers. Understanding the major requirements for the evolutionary process governing human cancer growth in the immune-competent host will guide effective therapeutic choices that are tailored to the biology of individual cancers.

Download or read book Cancer Immunotherapy written by George C. Prendergast and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunological thought is exerting a growing effect in cancer research, correcting a divorce that occurred in the mainstream of the field decades ago as cancer genetics began to emerge as a dominant movement. During the past decade, a new general consensus has emerged among all cancer researchers that inflammation and immune escape play crucial causal roles in the development and progression of malignancy. This consensus is now driving a new synthesis of thought with great implications for cancer treatments of the future. This book introduces new concepts and practices that will dramatically affect oncology by adding new immune modalities to present standards of care in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Its aim is to cross-fertilize ideas in the new area of immunochemotherapy, which strives to develop new combinations of immunological and pharmacological agents as cancer therapeutics. Specifically, our goals are to (1) highlight novel principles of immune suppression in cancer, which represent the major salient breakthroughs in the field of cancer immunology the last decade, and to (2) discuss the latest thinking in how immunotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic agents might be combined, not only to defeat mechanisms of tumoral immune suppression but also to reprogram the inflammatory microenvironment of tumor cells to enhance the long-term outcomes of clinical intervention. Many immune-based therapies have focused on activating the immune system. However, it is now clear that these therapies are often thwarted by the ability of cancers to erect barricades that evade or suppress the immune system. Mechanistic insights into these barricades have enormous medical implications, not only to treat cancer but also many chronic infectious and age-associated diseases where relieving pathogenic immune tolerance is a key challenge. In this book, contributors with a wide diversity of perspectives and experience provide an introductory overview to the immune system; how tumors evolve to evade the immune system; the nature of various approaches used presently to treat cancer in the oncology clinic; and how these approaches might be enhanced by inhibiting important mechanisms of tumoral immune tolerance and suppression. The overarching aim of this treatise is to provide a conceptual foundation to create a more effective all-out attack on cancer. This chapter offers a historical perspective on the development of immunological thought in cancer, a discussion of some of the fundamental challenges to be faced, and an overview of the chapters which frame and address these challenges.

Download or read book Principles of Cancer Biotherapy written by Robert K. Oldham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-29 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of the first edition of Principles of Cancer Biotherapy in 1987, this book represented the first comprehensive textbook on biological therapy. In 1991, when the second edition was published, there was still some doubt on the part of many oncologists and cancer researchers as to the therapeutic value of these new approaches. By 2003 and the fourth edition, it was generally agreed that biopharmaceuticals were producing major opportunities for new cancer therapies. Cancer biotherapy has now truly matured into the fourth modality of cancer treatment. This fifth revised edition describes the tremendous progress that has been made in recent years using biologicals in cancer treatment. This book summarizes an evolving science and a rapidly changing medical practice in biotherapy. In this new millennium, it is now possible to envision a much more diversified system of cancer research and treatment that will afford greater opportunities for a patient’s personalized cancer treatment. This was first envisioned in the 1987 initial edition of this textbook and is now a “new” and popular approach to cancer treatment. Some forms of cancer biotherapy use the strategy of tumor stabilization and control through continued biological therapy, akin to the use of insulin in the treatment of diabetes. This textbook illustrates new methods of thinking and new strategies for control of cancer. It is always difficult to move from past dogma to future opportunity, but this fifth edition of Principles of Cancer Biotherapy illustrates why it is so important to the patients for researchers and clinicians to explore and quickly apply these new opportunities in cancer biotherapy.

Download or read book Rheumatic Diseases and Syndromes Induced by Cancer Immunotherapy written by Maria E. Suarez-Almazor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) across various cancers, the trends for indication at earlier stages, and the use of combination immunotherapy, the frequency of ICI-induced immune-related adverse events (irAE) is expected to grow substantially. Management of these irAE is challenging as it requires not only consideration of the toxicity but also risk-benefit ratios with respect to the primary cancer. Several rheumatic irAE have been reported with ICI therapy including arthritis, myositis, polymyalgia-like syndromes, sicca/Sjogren-like manifestations, and several other less common systemic autoimmune features commonly associated with connective tissue disease. This handbook provides clinicians with a comprehensive overview of the management of rheumatic irAE that develop from cancer immunotherapy. It focuses on the irAE seen with ICI, the most frequently used agents in treating cancer. It provides an overview of cancer immunology, immunotoxicity, and immunotherapies such as ICI, cytokine-based therapy, and CART. It examines the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of rheumatic immune-related adverse events arising from these therapies. Chapters also cover cancer immunotherapy in patients with preexisting rheumatic diseases such as inflammatory arthritis and other connective tissue disorders. The book helps clinicians to distinguish the current types of cancer immunotherapy and general toxicity patterns, recognize and diagnose rheumatic clinical syndromes, understand the pathogenesis of irAE, and consider risk–benefit ratios when managing patients with rheumatic irAE. Rheumatic Diseases and Syndromes Induced by Cancer Immunotherapy is an essential resource for physicians and related professionals, residents, fellows, graduate students and nurses alike in rheumatology, clinical immunology, oncology, and internal medicine.
