The Impact of Aging on Prostate Cancer with Age-Related Disruption of Th17/Treg Axis
Project Summary/Abstract: Prostate cancer (PCa) is particularly important in elderly men because of the high incidence and prevalence of disease and mortality in this group of pati...
Role of Protein Kinase C Mutations in Adult T-Cell Leukemia
Abstract - Role of Protein Kinase C Mutations in Adult T-Cell Leukemia Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the cause of a T cell lymphoproliferative disorder, designated...
Linear energy transfer (LET) dependencies for understanding pancreatic tumor control and relevant molecular endpoints in support of RBE-based heavy-ion radiotherapy
This proposal brings together a unique interdisciplinary team with complementary expertise in high-LET radiobiology, pancreatic cancer research, and high-LET physics. It leverages...
Impact of Circulating Myeloid Cell Clusters on Anti-Tumor Immunity
Durable outcomes in subsets of solid cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) or adoptive cell transfer (ACT) immunotherapy has driven interest in gaining a...
Tissue Damage-Driven Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is responsible for ~10% of total cancer mortality worldwide. SCC prognosis is context-dependent and does not seem to be determined by driver gene soma...
Testing a culturally targeted narrative video to reduce disparities in the use of genetic counseling and testing in Latina women at-risk of HBOC
ABSTRACT National guidelines recommend that women at increased risk for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) due to BRCA1/2 mutations be referred for genetic counseling and...
ROS Targeted Therapy for Lethal Prostate Cancer
PROJECT SUMMARY Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in American men. Current therapeutics only show marginal efficacy and are often associated with...
A Randomized Controlled Trial: Genetic Counseling Patient Preference Intervention via Electronic Health Record Portal vs. Conventional Genetic Counseling for Women at Elevated Risk for Breast Cancer
PROJECT SUMMARY Women at elevated risk for breast cancer should complete genetic counseling and may require more frequent screening or additional tests (e.g. breast magnetic resona...
Fluorescence Molecular In Vivo Liquid Biopsy of Circulating Tumor Cells
Project Summary The goal of this project is to develop new technology to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) directly in the bloodstream without having to draw blood samples. Met...
Angiogenic biomarker discovery to direct bevacizumab therapy in cervical cancer - Blood-based Angiome Profiling: An ancillary analysis of GOG-0240
Project Summary The anti-angiogenic agent bevacizumab (BEV) is one of the most effective forms of biologic therapy developed thus far for cervical cancer (CC). However, response is...
Improving CAR T cell therapy for brain tumors using immune competent models
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall objective of this study is to engineer a potent CAR T cell therapy for high grade glioma (HGG), a subgroup of brain tumors for which outcomes r...
The Role of the Microbiome and Notch Signaling in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
PROJECT SUMMARY The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has risen 10-fold over the past half century and continues to have a dismal prognosis. Known modifiable risk factor...
Ceramide-Rich Platforms Functionalize Gemcitabine Uptake
Our data indicate that in select settings activation of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase)/ceramide signaling in tumor endothelial cells by radiation and certain chemotherapies synergi...
Chemotherapy-induced vascular cognitive impairment: role of endothelial senescence
Project Summary Many long-term survivors of cancer experience progressive chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI, commonly referred to as "chemobrain"). Importan...
Normalizing aberrant metabolism in ovarian cancer by a unique drug delivery system
Gene silencing using small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a viable therapeutic approach but, limited in translation due to lack of effective delivery systems. Developing effective and...
Defining the role of Mst1/Mst2 in regulating metabolic alterations in Ras driven NSCLC
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide; yet there is a fund...
DNA-based Immune Phenotyping in HNSCC for Biomarkers of Response to Immunotherapy
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCCs) are devastating upper airway tumors that are associated with an immunosuppressive network impacting the tum...
Therapeutic Targeting Mitochondrial C1 Metabolism
ABSTRACT Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cancer. Of the altered metabolic pathways associated with malignancy, one-carbon (C1) metabolism is particularly notabl...
DEHART: Dose-Escalated Hypofractionated Adaptive Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancers
Abstract Locoregional failure remains the principal mode of mortality in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) treated with conventional chemoradiation therapy over 7 wee...
Understanding and Targeting Tiam1 in Cancer
Project Summary: Understanding the detailed mechanisms that underlie proliferative signal transduction pathways is of critical importance for developing strategies for diagnosis an...
