GSE248774 Immune modulation with RANKL-blockade through denosumab treatment in cancer patients
We examined whether administering denosumab could modify modulate circulating immune cells in c ancer patients. Blood was collected from 23 prostate cancer patients and 3 renal cell carcinoma patients, who provided written informed consent, with advanced disease who were receiving denosumab, prior to and during denosumab treatment. Using high-dimensional mass cytometry, we found that denosumab treatment by itself induced modest effects on circulating immune cell frequency and activation. We also found minimal changes in the circulating T cell repertoire and the frequency of new thymic emigrants with denosumab treatment. H...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1454: Radiomics Machine Learning Analysis of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma for Tumour Grade Prediction Based on Intra-Tumoural Sub-Region Heterogeneity
Conclusions: Radiomics signatures combined with ML have the potential to predict the WHO/ISUP grade of ccRCC with superior performance, when compared to pre-operative biopsy. Moreover, tumour sub-regions contain useful information that should be analysed independently when determining the tumour grade. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish the grade of ccRCC pre-operatively to improve patient care and management. (Source: Cancers)

STING agonist, SMA-2, inhibits clear cell renal cell carcinoma through improving tumor microenvironment
Mol Cell Biochem. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1007/s11010-024-04970-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most prevalent and lethal subtype of kidney cancer, patients with ccRCC usually have very poor prognosis and short survival. Therefore, it is urgent to develop more effective therapeutics or medications to suppress ccRCC progression. Here, we demonstrated that STING agonist, MSA-2 significantly inhibits tumor progress and prolongs the survival of ccRCC mice by promoting cytokines secretion. Moreover, MSA-2 triggered the trafficking and infiltration of CD8+ T cells, supported by the gen...

Advanced renal cell carcinoma management: the Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group (LACOG) and the Latin American Renal Cancer Group (LARCG) consensus update
CONCLUSION: Immunotherapy and targeted therapy are the standards of care for advanced disease. The utilization and sequencing of these therapeutic agents hinge upon individual risk scores and responses to previous treatments. This consensus reflects a commitment to informed decision-making, drawn from professional expertise and evidence in the medical literature.PMID:38594593 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05663-z (Source: Cell Research)

Conclusions: Our study presents further evidence on the negative impact of PSM on recurrence after PN for RCC, highlighting the importance of achieving NSM, thus potentially improving clinical outcomes. A surgical approach was found to be the only predictive factor influencing the risk of PSMs, with a reduced risk observed with robot-assisted laparoscopy. (Source: Cancers)
