Abstract

Circulating antinuclear autoantibodies contribute to the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and correlate with disease-specific organ manifestations. Recent findings show the induction of interstitial lung disease and obliterative vasculopathy by transfer of IgG from SSc patients in healthy mice indicating a contribution of antibodies to SSc pathogenesis. Several functional or agonistic autoantibodies have been described in SSc, thus putting autoimmunity into a new spotlight. Autoantibodies against the angiotensin II receptor type-1 and the endothelin1 receptor type-A are associated with severe disease and provide new insights into its pathogenesis. They link the hallmarks of SSc, vasculopathy, immune activation, and fibrosis. At present, the contribution of the specific antibodies to disease manifestations remains to be examined. However; functional autoantibodies could represent a significant piece in the puzzle of SSc pathogenesis and may open new gateways and opportunities for therapeutic intervention. This review focuses on the features of functional autoantibodies in SSc.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.

Das größte medizinische Problem bei Tattoos bleiben allergische Reaktionen. Melanome werden dadurch offensichtlich nicht gefördert, die Farbpigmente könnten aber andere Tumoren begünstigen.
