Inmunoterapia en cáncer, conceptos clavesMauricio Lema
This document summarizes key concepts about cancer immunotherapy. It discusses how immunotherapy works to boost the immune system's ability to detect and destroy cancer cells by overcoming tumor suppression mechanisms. Specifically, it describes checkpoint inhibitors that target CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 to restore anti-tumor T cell activity. Clinical trials demonstrate improved survival outcomes with immunotherapy alone or in combination compared to chemotherapy for various cancer types. The main current clinical indications for immune checkpoint inhibitors are metastatic melanoma, NSCLC, renal-cell carcinoma, urothelial cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
This document provides an overview of the principles of immunotherapy. It begins by describing the cancer-immunity cycle and how the adaptive anticancer immune response is initiated. It then discusses how tumors can evade the immune system, such as by overexpressing inhibitory receptors like PD-L1. The document reviews different approaches to immunotherapy, including passive approaches using checkpoint inhibitors and active approaches like cancer vaccines. It also covers topics like evaluating the efficacy of immunotherapy, biomarkers, combination immunotherapy, and immune-related adverse events.
The document summarizes the potential of T-cell engaging bispecific antibodies (TCEs) for the treatment of solid tumors. It discusses how TCEs directly link T-cells to tumor cells expressing a target antigen like DLL3, which is expressed in over 80% of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors. The document outlines ongoing clinical trials of TCEs targeting DLL3 for the treatment of SCLC and neuroendocrine tumors.
This document summarizes recent advances in immunotherapy for solid tumors. It discusses how immunotherapy has established itself as an effective treatment strategy, building on William Coley's pioneering work in the late 1800s using bacteria to elicit anti-tumor immune responses. The document outlines several key immunotherapy approaches, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cellular therapy, strategies to enhance tumor immunogenicity like radiotherapy and oncolytic viruses, and cancer vaccines. It also discusses how tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and immunoscore can help predict cancer prognosis and how the immune system interacts with tumors.
Advances in immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1, have significantly improved outcomes for patients with metastatic melanoma. Combination immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab produces response rates over 60%, compared to around 40% for nivolumab alone and 11% for ipilimumab alone. Many patients receiving the combination immunotherapy continue to respond even after stopping treatment, achieving a state of treatment-free survival. While combination immunotherapy is more toxic than single-agent treatments, the toxicities are often manageable. Ongoing research continues to explore optimizing combination immunotherapy regimens to improve outcomes while reducing toxicity.

This document discusses a case of a 55-year-old non-smoking woman presenting with left hip and shoulder pain for 9 months. Imaging showed metastatic lesions and biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma positive for TTF1 and Napsin A. Genotyping found an EGFR L858R mutation but no ALK mutation. She began treatment with afatinib and experienced disease control for 8 months before progressing. Osimertinib was then initiated but also resulted in progression after 9 months, at which time crizotinib was added for a MET amplification, maintaining disease control for over 20 months. The document also reviews data on outcomes from trials of first-line afatinib versus chemotherapy in EGFR

The document summarizes key clinical trials in metastatic gastric cancer treatment. It discusses trials comparing different chemotherapy drugs and combinations, as well as trials investigating biologics and immunotherapy. The document notes that capecitabine is non-inferior to 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin is non-inferior and less toxic than cisplatin, and trastuzumab improves outcomes in HER2-positive cancer. Recent trials found nivolumab improves progression-free and overall survival, especially in patients with PD-L1 expression over 5%. Median overall survival across trials is approximately 10 months.
Secuencia en cáncer gástrico metastásicoMauricio Lema
Key trials in metastatic gastric cancer (1st-Line)
- Platinum + fluoropyrimidine (e.g. cisplatin or oxaliplatin + 5-FU or capecitabine) form the backbone of 1st-line treatment.
- Trastuzumab is added for HER2-positive cancers.
- Consider adding an anthracycline or taxane for younger fit patients.
- Immuno-oncology such as nivolumab shows promise when available, improving PFS and OS in some patients.
- Consider monotherapy with a fluoropyrimidine for those who cannot tolerate polychemotherapy.
The document discusses small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Key points:
- SCLC accounts for 15% of lung cancers and is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor that often spreads widely before diagnosis.
- Treatment options include chemotherapy with platinum agents and etoposide, sometimes combined with radiation therapy. Prophylactic cranial irradiation after treatment may help prevent cancer from spreading to the brain.
- The IMpower133 clinical trial showed that adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy of carboplatin and etoposide improved outcomes for patients with extensive-stage SCLC, increasing median overall survival by 2 months.
The document summarizes key findings from the CASPIAN phase 3 clinical trial comparing durvalumab plus tremelimumab plus etoposide-platinum chemotherapy (D+T+EP) versus etoposide-platinum chemotherapy (EP) alone as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The trial found that D+T+EP improved overall survival compared to EP alone, with a median OS of 10.4 months versus 10.5 months and a hazard ratio of 0.82. Subgroup analyses showed consistent OS benefit across patient subgroups for D+T+EP. The combination of D+T+EP represents a new standard of care for extensive-stage S
This document summarizes information about immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

CES2021 - Clase 13 - Cáncer de pulmón (2/2)Mauricio Lema
The document discusses lung cancer treatment and biomarkers. It begins by covering small sample handling and immunohistochemistry markers like p63 and TTF1 that can help classify lung cancer subtypes. It then discusses genomic testing for drivers like EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and BRAF and associated targeted therapies. The TNM staging system and its impact on treatment options like surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are reviewed. About 35% of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients have a targetable driver mutation that can be treated with approved targeted therapies to achieve longer survival compared to conventional chemotherapy.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, responsible for close to 2 million deaths per year. The main risk factor is tobacco, explaining about 90% of lung cancer cases. The two main types are small cell lung cancer (15% of cases) and non-small cell lung cancer (85% of cases). Diagnosis involves pathology to determine the histologic subtype and molecular testing to guide targeted therapy options. Staging uses the TNM system to classify tumors based on size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis. Treatment depends on the stage but may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

CES202101 - Clase 6 - Tamización contra el cáncer (parte 1/2)Mauricio Lema
The document discusses cancer screening and its goals, challenges, and effectiveness. It provides recommendations for cancer screening in Colombia based on age and cancer type. While screening aims to find cancers early and lower cancer mortality, its effectiveness varies by cancer. For example, mammography increases early breast cancer detection but has not reduced breast cancer mortality. Prostate cancer screening detects more early cancers but has not reduced mortality. Overall screening's benefits depend on the cancer, and it can lead to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

121. Conclusions
• ICIs are life-saving to many patients with advanced malignancies
• Melanoma
• NSCLC
• Genitourinary
• Head and Neck… and others
122. Conclusions
• Immune-related adverse-events (irAEs) are more severe with anti-
CTLA4 and combination ICIs
• Early recognition and intervention of irAEs can prevent greater
morbidity and mortality
• In case of doubt: stop ICI, initiate steroids…
• irAEs are not required for “clinical activity” of ICIs
123. Conclusions
• Patients with pre-existing (potentially severe) autoimmune conditions
were systematically excluded from ICI clinical trials
• But there is some evidence that ICIs can be safely used in patients
with a history of autoimmune disease
• Especially, if in “clinical remission” for > 2 years
• All these patients need to be CLOSELY followed by rheumatology (as
well)
