Targeting the insulin growth factor pathway in gastrointestinal cancers.
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)-directed therapy is currently at a crossroads. After decades of research, several agents targeting the IGF pathway are now in clinical trials. One recent phase III trial of the IGF-1R inhibitor figitumumab in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer was discontinued after an interim analysis showed no survival improvement. Clinical trials for patients with s...
متن کاملTargeting cancers in the gastrointestinal tract: role of capecitabine
Capecitabine is currently the only novel, orally home-administered fluorouracil prodrug. It offers patients more freedom from hospital visits and less inconvenience and complications associated with infusion devices. The drug has been extensively studied in large clinical trials in many solid tumors, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and many others. Furthermore, the d...
متن کاملTherapeutic approaches targeting tumor vasculature in gastrointestinal cancers.
Antiangiogenic therapy, especially anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody therapy, has become an important treatment option for the management of a number of human malignancies including some gastrointestinal tumors. However, there have been many cases of resistance observed against anti-VEGF antibody treatment. As to the first reason, some types of advanced colon cancers do no...
متن کاملTargeting p110gamma in gastrointestinal cancers: attack on multiple fronts
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate several cellular functions that are critical for cancer progression and development, including cell survival, proliferation and migration. Three classes of PI3Ks exist with the class I PI3K encompassing four isoforms of the catalytic subunit known as p110α, p110β, p110γ, and p110δ. Although for many years attention has been mainly focused on p110α rec...
متن کاملImmune signatures correlate with L1 retrotransposition in gastrointestinal cancers
Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (L1) retrotransposons are normally suppressed in somatic tissues mainly by DNA methylation and antiviral defense. However, L1s can be desuppressed in cancers to act as insertional mutagens and cause genomic instability by creating DNA double strand breaks and chromosomal rearrangements. Whereas the frequency of somatic L1 insertions varies greatly among indiv...
