1. Mechanisms for immune escape in epithelial ovarian cancer
Sammanfattning : Tumors develop mechanisms to subvert the immune system, constituting immune escape. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the deadliest of all gynecological malignancies, uses a variety of mechanisms to undermine immune surveillance, aiding its establishment and metastatic spreading. LÄS MER
2. Immune modulation in serous epithelial ovarian cancer : focus on the role of tumor-derived exosomes
Sammanfattning : Serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a potent suppressor of the immune defense. Here, we studied interactions between EOC and the immune system that lead to escape from tumor immune surveillance. LÄS MER
3. Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines Targeting Molecules Associated with Tumor Angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : Induction of an endogenous antibody response by therapeutic vaccination could provide an alternative to cost-intensive monoclonal antibody-based treatments for cancer. Since the target of a cancer vaccine will most likely be a self-antigen, self-tolerance of the immune system must be circumvented. LÄS MER
4. Mechanisms of immune escape : implications for immunotherapy against cancer
Sammanfattning : Tumor cells can be recognized and killed by cytotoxic T cells specific for certain tumor antigens. Immune mediated selection pressure along with genetic instability of tumor cells result in a growth advantage of tumor cells that acquire a less immunogenic phenotype. LÄS MER
5. Immunological recognition and tumor escape mechanisms of ovarian carcinoma
Sammanfattning : Ovarian carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer mortality and there is an urgent need for new and better therapeutic modalities that result in improved long-term outcome for this severe malignancy. One promising treatment modality for patients suffering from ovarian carcinoma is immunotherapy. LÄS MER
