Drug resistance is the leading cause of poor clinical outcomes for cancer patients undergoing targeted therapies. While current treatments are designed to inhibit targets along established oncogenic signalling cascades, a new, exciting approach is to address non-oncogene-related resistance mechanisms that operate in parallel to the “classic” oncogene pathways.
Researchers at Okayama University have investigated the application of anti-PD-1 autoantibody as a biomarker candidate for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
HCC is the most commonly type of liver cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death globally. One treatment for patients with an advanced form of HCC involves a combination of the drugs atezolizumab and bevacizumab, referred to as Atezo/Bev therapy, which is typically recommended as the first treatment for patients with liver cancer. Despite this, there are no reliable markers that can be used to predict its effectiveness.
Scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a spray which provides broad-spectrum protection from respiratory infections by COVID-19, influenza, everyday cold viruses, and pneumonia-causing bacteria. This may reduce respiratory diseases and safeguard public health if it can be validated in humans. Read more >>
