In this article, seven more questions are presented as followed. Question50. When tumor cells spread from primary site to distant sites, are they required to be "trained" or "armed" in the bone marrow niche prior to colonizing soft tissues? Question 51. Are there tipping points during cancer progression which can be identified for manipulation? Question 52. Can we replace molecular biomarkers by network biomarkers?Question 53. Are conventional inhibitors of key cellular processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation more effective than targeted chemotherapeutics that antagonize the downstream cell signaling network via cell-surface receptors such as epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR) and c-Met, or intracellular receptors such as androgen receptor(AR) and estrogen receptor(ER), by drugs like erlotinib,sunitinib and cabozantinib, or enzalutamide and tomoxifen? Question 54. How can we robustly identify the candidate causal event of somatic genome alteration(SGA) by using computational approach? Question 55. How can we systematically reveal the immune evasion mechanism exploited by each tumor and utilize such information to guide targeted therapy to restore immune sensitivity? Question 56. Can the nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma(SC) subtype benefit from more specific targeted therapy?展开更多

Currently, the main treatment methods remain surgical intervention in combination with chemotherapy. However, due to its high recurrence rate and the risk of drug resistance, the overall prognosis is poor. Ovarian cancer has been identified as an immunegenic tumor, and in recent years, with the continued advancement of research into immune evasion mechanisms, immunotherapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment modality. This article will focus on the immune escape mechanisms and their application in ovarian cancer, providing a comprehensive overview of its current status and the challenges it faces.展开更多
