A genetic inference on cancer immune responsiveness
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cancer immune signature implicating good prognosis and responsiveness to immunotherapy was described that is observed also in other aspects of immune-mediated, tissue-specific destruction (TSD). Its determinism remains, however, elusive. Based on limited but unique clinical observations, we propose a multifactorial genetic model of human cancer immune responsiveness.

Genetic inference of immune responsiveness of melanoma cancer patients to TIL therapy
Adoptive cell transfer therapy (ACT) holds a highly promising treatment for metastatic melanoma patients. ACT involves the ex vivo expansion of autologous antitumor reactive tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and their reinfusion into lymphodepleted patients, accompanied by IL-2 administration. ACT demonstrates objective clinical responsiveness in 40-50% patients, including 10-21% complete response...
متن کاملReinforcement learning based feedback control of tumor growth by limiting maximum chemo-drug dose using fuzzy logic
In this paper, a model-free reinforcement learning-based controller is designed to extract a treatment protocol because the design of a model-based controller is complex due to the highly nonlinear dynamics of cancer. The Q-learning algorithm is used to develop an optimal controller for cancer chemotherapy drug dosing. In the Q-learning algorithm, each entry of the Q-table is updated using data...

Background High-throughput sequencing technology challenges the traditional histopathological classification of cancer, and proposes new taxonomies derived from global transcriptional patterns. They provided in-depth of new information that can reframe our understanding of human cancer biology. The novel observations that cancer phenotype characterized by immune effectors mechanisms are commonl...
متن کاملComplex genetic and environmental relationships between psychological distress, fatigue and immune functioning: a twin study.
BACKGROUND Although there is considerable support for adverse relationships between states of psychological and somatic distress and immune response, there is little evidence in humans of the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors. METHODS This study utilized a twin methodology to examine the interplay between psychological distress, fatigue and immune function. We recorde...
