Abstract:

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with extreme mortality and morbidity. Although initially chemo- and radio-sensitive, almost inevitable recurrence and resistance occurs. SCLC patients often present with metastases, making surgery not feasible. Current therapies, rationally designed on underlying pathogenesis, produce in vitro results, however, these have failed to translate into satisfactory clinical outcomes. Recently, research into cancer stem cells (CSCs) has gained momentum and form an attractive target for novel therapies. Based on this concept, CSCs are the

Abstract:

Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) have the potential to transform the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The applications of CTCs can identify clinically actionable targets to predict treatment response and to better understand metastasis. CTCs isolated using microfluidics can be used as prognostic indicators of NSCLC as well as characterizing for markers of immunotherapy (PD-L1), molecular targets (ALK, EGFR). Short term cultures were successfully expanded in 9/70 NSCLC patients and cultured for up to 3 months. Optimization of this novel CTC culture model provides o

Abstract:

Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15-20% of all lung cancers and kills at least one person every 2 hours in the UK. There is no effective treatment and overall 2-year survival is less than 5%. Patients with SCLC have poorly understood local and systemic immune defects. Previous studies have shown several important defects in cell-mediated immune responses in patients with SCLC. A better understanding of interactions between SCLC tumour cells and immune cells may lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches. There is increasing recognition that immunological biomarkers may a

Abstract:

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterised by rapid growth, early metastatic spread and poor long-term survival. The tumour is initially sensitive to chemotherapy and thus objective response rates are high. Unfortunately, this response is often short-lived and SCLC recurs with acquired drug resistance, resulting in early patient death. Despite intensive chemo- and radiotherapy regimes survival has not improved significantly in 20 years. Prior research suggests a critical role for the tumour microenvironment in the pathogenesis of other cancers. Therefore, investigating interactions between

Abstract:

Tumor heterogeneity has long been observed and recognized as a challenge to cancer therapy. The cancer stem cell (CSC) model is one of the hypotheses proposed to explain such a phenomenon. A specific cancer stem cell marker has not been determined for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), preventing the definitive evaluation of whether the biology of NSCLC is governed by the CSC model. This study aimed to analyze the expression of candidate CSC markers and using the identified putative marker, to isolate CSC and determine the applicability of the CSC model in NSCLC.
