Project description:This phase II trial studies how a diet intervention works in improving bowel dysfunction symptoms related in colon or rectal cancer survivors. Changing a diet may be helpful in reducing the severity of bowel symptoms, including diarrhea and constipation, and improve quality of life in colon or rectal cancer survivors and help doctors learn how to help patients better in the future.

Project description:Trastuzumab improves survival outcomes in patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Some of these patients may become long-term survivors. The Long-Her study was designed to identify clinical and molecular markers that could differentiate long-term survivors from patients having early progression to trastuzumab. 103 patients were registered in the Long-HER study, of whom 71 had obtained a durable complete response. Median age was 58 years. Metastatic disease was diagnosed after a median of 24.7 months since primary diagnosis. Sixty-five per cent of tumours were poorly differentiated ductal carcinomas and hormonal receptors were present in 47%. Metastases were present in the liver (25%), lungs (25%), bones (23%) and soft tissues (23%), with 20% of patients having multiple locations of metastases. Median progression-free survival was 10.6 years after the diagnosis of metastatic disease. Absence of trastuzumab as part of adjuvant therapy was the only clinical factor associated with long-term survival . Gene ontology analysis demonstrated that genes involved in HIF activation, EGF receptor signalling pathway, PI3 kinase pathway, apoptosis signalling pathway and p53 pathway significantly correlated with response. The PI3K pathway was the most strongly associated with poor response to trastuzumab-based therapy: tumours in the control group usually had four or five alterations in this pathway, whereas tumours in the Long-HER group had two alterations at most. These findings support that trastuzumab may provide a substantial long-term survival benefit in a selected group of patients. Whole genome expression analysis comparing long-term survivors vs. a control group predicted early progression to trastuzumab-based therapy. Multiple alterations in genes related to the PI3K-mTOR pathway seem to be required to confer resistance to this therapy. 53 FFPE samples, which passed the RNA quality control criteria, were analyzed (45 primary tumours and 8 metastases). Among these 53 samples, 35 samples corresponded to long-term responders and 18 to the control group.

Project description:Long-term toxicities caused by cancer treatments have recently gained increasing recognition due to a steadily growing population of cancer survivors. Radiotherapy (RT) is a common treatment known to unintentionally harm surrounding normal tissues including the skin, hindering wound healing even years after treatment. Our study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these late-onset adverse effects caused by RT. By comparing paired skin biopsies from previously irradiated (RT+) and non-irradiated (RT-) sites in breast cancer survivors who underwent RT years ago, we discovered compromised wound healing capacity and impaired fibroblast functions in the RT+ skin. By employing ATAC-seq, we identified altered chromatin landscapes in RT+ fibroblasts, pinpointing THBS1 as a crucial epigenetically primed wound repair-related gene. Further confirmation of THBS1's significance during wound repair came from single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomic analysis of human wounds. Remarkably, heightened and sustained THBS1 expression was observed in RT+ fibroblasts in both mouse and human radiation wound models, leading to impaired fibroblast motility and contractility. Encouragingly, our study found that treatment with anti-THBS1 antibodies promoted ex vivo wound closure in RT+ skin from breast cancer survivors. These findings indicate that dermal fibroblasts retain a long-term radiation memory recorded in the form of epigenetic changes. Targeting this maladaptive epigenetic memory shows promise for mitigating the late-onset adverse effects caused by RT, offering potential solutions to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors.

Project description:Gene expression profiling revealed over-representation of a distinct (proneural-like) expression signature in long-term survivors that was linked to IDH1/2 mutation. However, among the IDH1/2-wildtype patients, tumors from long-term survivors did not show distinct gene expression profiles and included proneural, classical and mesenchymal glioblastoma subtypes. We performed genome- and/or transcriptome-wide molecular profiling of primary tumor samples from 70 glioblastoma patients of the German Glioma Network, including 23 longterm survivors with >36 months overall survival (OS), 16 short-term survivors with <12 months OS, and 31 patients with intermediate OS

Project description:Background and aim: Only 10% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients survive longer than five years. Factors underlining long-term survivorship in PDAC are not well understood. Therefore, we aimed to identify the key players in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) associated with long-term survivorship in PDAC patients. Methods: The immune-related gene expression profiles of resected PDAC tumors of patients who survived and remained recurrence-free of disease for ≥36 months (long-term survivors, n=10) were compared to patients who had survived ≤6 months (short-term survivors, n=10) due to tumor recurrence. Validation was performed by the spatial protein expression profile of immune cells using the GeoMx™ Digital Spatial Profiler. An independent cohort of samples consisting of 12 long-term survivors and 10 short-term survivors, was used for additional validation. The independent validation was performed by combining qualitative immunohistochemistry and quantitative proteinexpression profiling. Results: B cells were found to be significantly increased in the TIME of longterm survivors by gene expression profiling (p=0.018). The high tumor infiltration of B cells was confirmed by spatial protein profiling in the discovery and the validation cohorts (p=0.002 and p=0.01, respectively). The higher number of infiltrated B cells was found mainly in the stromal compartments of PDAC samples and was exclusively found within tumor cells in long-term survivors. Conclusion: This is the first comprehensive study that connects the immune landscape of gene expression profiles and protein spatial infiltration with the survivorship of PDAC patients. We found a higher number and a specific location of B cells in TIME of long-term survivors which emphasizes the importance of B cells and B cell-based therapy for future personalized immunotherapy in PDAC patients.
