Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy in metastatic vulvar melanoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Journal article Gynecol Oncol Rep · June 2026 BACKGROUND: Vulvar melanoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy comprising less than 1% of all melanomas in women. Despite advances in immune checkpoint blockade, durable responses remain limited, and treatment of refractory disease poses a major challenge ... Full text Link to item Cite

Circulating Tumor DNA in High-Risk Stage II/III Cutaneous Melanoma: A Feasibility Study.

Journal article Ann Surg Oncol · July 2025 BACKGROUND: Adjuvant therapies reduce recurrence in patients with clinical stage IIB/IIC/III melanoma; however, better risk stratification and patient selection are needed. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a marker of micrometastatic residual disease is be ... Full text Link to item Cite

Multicenter Experience with Neoadjuvant Therapy in Melanoma Highlights Heterogeneity in Contemporary Practice.

Journal article Ann Surg · June 1, 2023 OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility and impact of neoadjuvant therapy (NT) in patients who present with advanced melanoma amenable to surgical resection. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Given current effective systemic therapy for melanoma, the use of NT is b ... Full text Link to item Cite

Safety and tolerability of the first-in-class agent CPI-613 in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer: a single-centre, open-label, dose-escalation, phase 1 trial.

Journal article Lancet Oncol · June 2017 BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer statistics are dismal, with a 5-year survival of less than 10%, and more than 50% of patients presenting with metastatic disease. Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. CPI-613 is a novel ... Full text Link to item Cite

TNF, LTA and TGFB1 genotype distributions among acute graft-vs-host disease subsets after HLA-matched unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a pilot study.

Journal article Tissue Antigens · July 2009 Cytokine single nucleotide polymorphisms and consequent production levels have been associated with acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) development. The aim of this pilot study was to determine whether polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor (TNF), lymphoto ... Full text Link to item Cite

A molecular mechanism for the differential regulation of TGF-beta1 expression due to the common SNP -509C-T (c. -1347C > T).

Journal article Hum Genet · November 2006 Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) levels influence many cellular, immunologic and pathologic processes. Activator protein 1 (AP1) and hypoxia are key regulators of TGF-beta1 expression levels. The common TGFB1 promoter SNP c.-1347C > T (-509C-T, ... Full text Link to item Cite

Allelic diversity in the TGFB1 regulatory region: characterization of novel functional single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Journal article Hum Genet · March 2006 Altered TGF-beta1 expression due to polymorphisms affects a wide variety of normal cellular and disease processes such as T cell activation and proliferation, tumor progression, and asthma. In this study, a comprehensive examination of function and diversi ... Full text Link to item Cite
