Anti-idiotype antibodies in cancer treatment
Actively induced immunotherapy is one of the most promising fields in cancer research and numerous approaches are being studied to design effective cancer vaccines. Among the treatment strategies to develop an effective immune response against tumor associated antigens is the use of anti idiotype (Ab2) mAb as antigen surrogates. Several studies in animal models have demonstrated the efficacy of these vaccines for triggering the immune system to induce specific and protective immunity against tumors of different origin. In fact, anti-idiotypic mAbs have been used successfully in cancer therapeutics to overcome the poor immunogenicity of some tumor-associated antigens, in particular those of non-protein origin. In some clinical trials, including patients with different tumors, anti-Id specific humoral and/or cellular responses following immunization were associated with improved clinical outcome. This number of Frontiers will be dedicated to anti- idiotypic antibodies and their use in cancer treatment. Different article types will be considered: original contributions, case reports, methods, hypothesis and theory, reviews, historical, etc.
El desafío del cangrejo
Cáncer, tumor o neoplasia son Muy Malas Palabras para nuestra sociedad. Ni qué hablar de los tratamientos: es común la creencia de que muchas veces el tratamiento del cáncer es peor que la enfermedad misma. Y aquí viene este pequeño libro al rescate. Con ejemplos claros y concretos, Daniel Alonso (reconocido investigador en el tema) desmitifica al cáncer como patología incurable y nos convence, en base a evidencias muy recientes de laboratorios de investigación básica y aplicada, de que debemos comenzar a pensar en "la enfermedad del cangrejo" como una dolencia crónica que puede mantenerse a raya. Incluso va más allá y desenmascara a los falsos profetas de los tratamientos mágicos e inmediatos que sólo sirven para engañar a la gente. En el camino, nos cuenta cómo funciona la maquinaria genética de de la célula, y qué pasa cuando se descompone. Sin magias ni misterios, la biología molecular avanza hacia una comprensión del cáncer que en un futuro no demasiado lejano se exportará desde los laboratorios hacia los consultorios y hospitales. Mientras tanto, conviene ir entendiendo de qué se trata.
Cancer Metastasis
Metastasis is responsible for a large burden of morbidity and mortality among cancer patients, and currently few therapies specifically target metastatic disease. Further scientific dissection of the underlying pathways is required to pave the way for new therapeutic targets. This groundbreaking new text comprehensively covers the processes underlying cancer metastasis and the clinical treatment of metastatic disease. Whereas previous volumes have been compendia of laboratory research articles, the internationally renowned authors of this volume have summarized the state-of-the-art research in the metastasis field. A major section covers the cellular and molecular pathways of metastasis and experimental techniques and the systems and models applied in this field. Subsequently, the clinical aspects of the major cancer types are considered, focusing on disease-specific research and therapeutic approaches to metastatic disease. The focus is on novel pathophysiological insights and emerging therapies; future directions for research and unmet clinical needs are also discussed.
Protein Kinase CK2 Cellular Function in Normal and Disease States
Protein kinase CK2 (formerly casein kinase II or 2) is known to play a critical role in the control of cell growth and cell death and is thus intimately involved in the development of cancer. More specifically, CK2 has been found to be elevated in all cancers examined. While CK2 levels are known to be high in proliferating normal cells, CK2 has also been found to be a potent suppressor of apoptosis and is a link to the cancer cell phenotype, which is characterized by deregulation of both cell proliferation and cell death. Indeed, it would appear that CK2 impacts many of the hallmarks of cancer and it has now gained considerable attention as a potential target for cancer therapy. Protein Kinase CK2 and Cellular Function in Normal and Disease States increases knowledge of the role of CK2 in the development of cellular dysfunction and emphasizes that this protein may serve as a target of drug development for improved cancer therapy. In addition, it is a handy tool that provides cancer researchers, graduate students, and all scientists involved in CK2 research with one main source for the latest advances in CK2 research.
