Composition of the immune microenvironment differs between carcinomas metastatic to the lungs and primary lung carcinomas.
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Lungs are among the most common sites for development of both primary and metastatic carcinomas. Tumor cells expression (TC) of PD-L1 is an important predictor of the of response to immune check-point inhibition in NSCLC, ... -
Co-Incidence of Epstein-Barr Virus and High-Risk Human Papillomaviruses in Cervical Cancer of Syrian Women.
( Frontiers Media , 2018 , Article)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been recently shown to be co-present with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in human cervical cancer; thus, these oncoviruses play an important role in the initiation and/or progression ... -
Molecular characterization of cancers with NTRK gene fusions
( Springer Nature , 2019 , Article)Targeted inhibitors of neurotropic tyrosine kinases are highly effective in selected patients with gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3. These fusions are consistently detected in rare cancer types (e.g., secretory ... -
