Current Situation and Prospect of Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy for Malignancies
Technol Cancer Res Treat. 2023 Jan-Dec;22:15330338231204198. doi: 10.1177/15330338231204198.ABSTRACTAdoptive cell immunotherapy (ACT) is an innovative promising treatment for tumors. ACT is characterized by the infusion of active anti-tumor immune cells (specific and non-specific) into patients to kill tumor cells either directly or indirectly by stimulating the body's immune system. The patient's (autologous) or a donor's (allogeneic) immune cells are used to improve immune function. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CAR-T) is a type of ACT that has gained attention. T cells from the peripheral blood are geneticall...

Efficacy and Safety of Dual Anti-HER2 Blockade and Docetaxel With or Without Carboplatin as Neoadjuvant Regimen for Treatment of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Conclusion: In the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer, the docetaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab regimen might be more tolerated than the docetaxel + carboplatin + trastuzumab + pertuzumab regimen and did not show a lower complete pathological remission rate. However, our findings require further validation through prospective studies.PMID:38031361 | PMC:PMC10687954 | DOI:10.1177/15330338231218152 (Source: Technology in Cancer Research and Treatment)

Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Venous Thrombus Embolism (VTE) in Patients With Colorectal Cancer
This study retrospectively examined 528 newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients from January 2019 to January 2021. Specified logistic regression models were employed to screen the factors and establish prediction tools based on nomograms according to the final included variables. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability were used to assess the performance of screening tools. In addition, internal verifications were conducted through 10-fold cross-verification, leave-one-out cross-validation, and Bootstrap verification. Four risk factors, closely related to the occurrence of VTE in colorectal cancer patien...

Prognostic Significance of Advanced Age in Patients with T1a Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated by Microwave Ablation: A 16-Year Experience
CONCLUSIONS: Advanced age exerts adverse effects and significantly protective effects on OS and PFS, respectively, in T1a RCC patients with a CCI ≥ 3. According to our study, elderly patients with T1a RCC underwent radical MWA may yield a better medium-term OS relative to AS.PMID:38018134 | PMC:PMC10686028 | DOI:10.1177/15330338231183585 (Source: Technology in Cancer Research and Treatment)

Using Bland-Altman Analysis to Identify Appropriate Clonogenic Assay Colony Counting Techniques
CONCLUSION: Counting with a manual pen demonstrated significant bias when compared to microscopic and semiautomated colony counts; 2 methods were deemed to be interchangeable. Thus, training algorithms based on manual counts may introduce this bias as well. Algorithms trained to select colonies based on size (pixels2) and shape (circularity) should be prioritized. Solely relying on Bland-Altman or correlational analyses when determining method interchangeability should be avoided; they rather should be used in conjunction.PMID:37997353 | PMC:PMC10668582 | DOI:10.1177/15330338231214250 (Source: Technology in Cancer Research and Treatment)
