Accumulation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes has been associated with increased survival in ovarian cancer patients, and diverse interactions among immune cells in the...
Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 895: Heightened JNK Activation and Reduced XIAP Levels Promote TRAIL and Sunitinib-Mediated Apoptosis in Colon Cancer ModelsCancers doi: 10.3390/cancers11070895Authors: Mahalingam Carew Espitia Cool Giles de Jong NawrockiTumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potent inducer of apoptosis that may be a promising agent in cancer therapy due to its selectivity toward tumor cells. However, many cancer cells are resistant to TRAIL due to defects in...

Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 891: Salivary Extracellular Vesicle-Associated exRNA as Cancer BiomarkerCancers doi: 10.3390/cancers11070891Authors: Chiabotto Gai Deregibus CamussiExtracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted in biological fluids contain several transcripts of the cell of origin, which may modify the functions and phenotype of proximal and distant cells. Cancer-derived EVs may promote a favorable microenvironment for cancer growth and invasion by acting on stroma and endothelial cells and may favor...
Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 888: Exo-miRNAs as a New Tool for Liquid Biopsy in Lung CancerCancers doi: 10.3390/cancers11060888Authors:Orazio FortunatoPatrizia GaspariniMattia BoeriGabriella SozziLung cancer is the predominant cause of cancer-related deaths. The high mortality rates are mainly due to the lack of diagnosis before the cancer is at a late stage. Liquid biopsy is a promising technique that could allow early diagnosis of lung cancer and better treatment selection for patients. Cell-free microRNAs...

BoosAnja SchmittHolger MochPaul KomminothCedric SimillionIlaria MarinoniYuri E. NikiforovMarina N. NikiforovaAurel PerrenMatthias S. DettmerFive percent of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) show an adverse clinical outcome (ACO). The tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinomas (TCV) is a good predictor of an ACO, however, the identification...
