3D printing injectable microbeads using a composite liposomal ink for local treatment of peritoneal diseases
We present a robust method for the production of biodegradable liposome-loaded hydrogel microbeads that can overcome the pharmacokinetic limitations of small molecules with fast clearance rates, a current bottleneck for the intraperitoneal (IP) administration of these therapeutics. By means of an electromagnetic droplet printhead, we 3D printed microbeads employing an alginate-based ink loaded with GEF-containing multilamellar vesicles (MLVs). The sustained release of GEF from microbeads was demonstrated. In vitro studies on an immortalized human hepatic cancer cell line (Huh-7) proved concentration-dependent cell death. T...

Characterizing the Immune Environment in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Insights for Novel Immunotherapy Strategies
CONCLUSIONS: The peritoneal immune microenvironment in carcinomatosis favors innate immunity, presenting a challenging environment for effective antitumor response. High levels of proinflammatory mediators suggest potential targets for intervention, such as the IL-6 axis, FGF2, IL-8, and CCL2; these could be explored as potential mitigators of malignant ascites and enhance anti-tumor immune responses. These findings provide valuable insights for developing immunotherapy strategies and improving outcomes in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.PMID:37996643 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-14553-6 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Unraveling the potential clinical utility of circulating tumor DNA detection in colorectal cancer - evaluation in a nationwide Danish cohort
CONCLUSIONS: The presented results from 851 stage II-III CRC patients demonstrate that our personalized dPCR approach effectively detects MRD post operation and shows promise for serial ctDNA detection for recurrence surveillance. The ability to adjust sensitivity and specificity shows exciting potential to customize the ctDNA caller for specific clinical settings.PMID:37992872 | DOI:10.1016/j.annonc.2023.11.009 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)
