Obesity and survival in operable breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracyclines and taxanes according to pathological subtypes: a pooled…
2013
Obesity is an unfavorable prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients regardless of menopausal status and treatment received. However, the association between obesity and survival outcome by pathological subtype requires further clarification. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis including 5,683 operable BC patients enrolled in four randomized clinical trials (GEICAM/9906, GEICAM/9805, GEICAM/2003-02, and BCIRG 001) evaluating anthracyclines and taxanes as adjuvant treatments. Our primary aim was to assess the prognostic effect of body mass index (BMI) on disease recurrence, breast cancer mortality (BCM), and overall mortality (OM). A secondary aim was to detect differences o…
Analysis of infiltrating γδ T cells in cutaneous melanoma: a hypothetic crosstalk for new immunotherapy
2022
Introduction: Melanoma is one of the most frequently occurring skin cancer and remains an important cause of mortality mainly in Caucasian populations. In clinical practice, the standard treatment for localized melanoma is surgical resection but for metastatic melanoma, few treatments are available, where chemo and radio-therapies are rarely indicated. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the management of metastatic melanoma that, as in others tumors, uses your body's own immune system to help fight cancer. Therapies targeting the immune checkpoint molecules have achieved objective responses in melanoma. Several receptors and/or ligands, such as PDL1, PD-1 and CTLA-4, have been identified as i…
