The assessment of circulating tumor DNA associated with Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathway as a diagnostic tool for liver cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This study confirmed that Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related ctDNA had the better diagnostic potential for liver cancer and might be an effective complementary tool for serum AFP assays in the early diagnosis of liver cancer.PROSPERO: (No. CRD42023404984).[Figure: see text].PMID:38299537 | DOI:10.1080/14737140.2024.2312246 (Source: Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy)

Cancer immunotherapy efficacy and machine learning
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Jan-Feb;24(1-2):21-28. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2311684. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Immunotherapy is one of the major breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer, and it has become a powerful clinical strategy, however, not all patients respond to immune checkpoint blockade and other immunotherapy strategies. Applying machine learning (ML) techniques to predict the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy is useful for clinical decision-making.AREAS COVERED: Applying ML including deep learning (DL) in radiomics, pathomics, tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune-related genes analysis to...

Safety and efficacy of Rucaparib in the treatment of ovarian cancer and patients with BRCA mutation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase III randomized clinical trials
CONCLUSION: Rucaparib demonstrated significant efficacy in improving PFS and ORR in ovarian cancer patients, particularly those having BRCA mutations. However, they should be closely monitored due to the greater risk of various adverse effects.PMID:38252024 | DOI:10.1080/14737140.2024.2309177 (Source: Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy)

Considerations regarding maintenance therapy for acute myeloid leukemia in remission
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Jan-Feb;24(1-2):15-20. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2306164. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: For most adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia, relapse is characteristic of the disease. When allotransplant in first complete remission is administered as consolidative therapy, relapse is still common, affecting 20-40% of recipients. Maintenance of remission with low-dose treatments may hold promise in preventing relapse.AREAS COVERED: Improvements in the detection of clinical and biological variants of disease allow the practitioner to identify which patients, based on disease features...

Allogeneic transplantation and cellular therapies in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Jan-Feb;24(1-2):41-58. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2305356. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS) are the most common types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Although many available treatments offer temporary disease control, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) is the only curative treatment option for advanced stage MF and SS. CAR T-cell therapy is a promising new avenue for treatment.AREAS COVERED: In this review, we discuss the evidence supporting the use of allo-HSCT for the treatment of MF/SS, including disease status at...

Circadian rhythm-based cancer therapy in randomised clinical trials
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2023 Dec 21:1-11. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2023.2298835. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Since the 2017 Nobel Prize awarded to J. Hall, M. Rosbash and M.W. Young for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms behind the biological clock, circadian rhythm-based therapy, also known as chronotherapy, is receiving more attention in oncology and the number of anatomical sites of interest in this field is increasing. This observation is in line with the clinical evidence provided by trials on head and neck, lung, colorectal and cervical cancers, as well as the presently ongoing chronotherapy t...
