Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Alters Neuropilin-1, PlGF, and SNAI1 Expression Levels and Predicts Breast Cancer Patients Response by Noura Al-Zeheimi (5177066)

“…From a panel of tested proteins and genes, we found that the levels of plasma NRP-1, placenta growth factor (PlGF) and immune cell expression of the transcription factor <i>SNAI1</i> before and after NAC were significantly different. Paired <i>t-</i>test analysis of 22 locally advanced breast cancer patients showed that plasma NRP-1 levels were increased significantly (<i>p</i> = 0.018) post-NAC in patients with pathological partial response (pPR). …”

FoxP3⁺ T regulatory cells in cancer: Prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets by Reem Saleh (3513056)

“…We also describe potential therapeutic strategies to target Tregs in combination with other types of immunotherapies aiming to overcome tumor resistance and improve clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Overall, understanding the prognostic significance of FoxP3⁺ Tregs in various cancers and their contribution to therapy resistance could help in the development of more effective targeted therapeutic strategies to enhance the clinical outcomes in cancer patients.…”
