BACKGROUND
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the 8th leading cause of cancer death amongst American women. Most ECs are endometrioid, serous, or clear cell carcinomas, or an admixture of histologies. Serous and clear ECs are clinically aggressive tumors for which alternative therapeutic approaches are
TSU-68 is a small-molecular-weight synthetic inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase receptors Flk-1/KDR, PDGFRβ and FGFR1, which are involved in angiogenesis. Using a mouse model in which endometrial cancer was subcutaneously implanted, we investigated the effects of TSU-68 alone or in combination with
Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent gynecological cancer. About 15% of these cancers are of high risk and radiotherapy still remains the most suitable treatment. In this context, agents able to promote radiosensitization are of great interest. Here, we describe for the first The present study evaluated the cytotoxic activity of methyl jasmonate (MJ) in endometrial cancer cells and examined the hypothesis that the apoptotic and anti-proliferative actions of MJ in these cell lines can be enhanced by co-targeting the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) signaling
A significant increase in endometrial cancer incidence in tamoxifen-treated breast cancer patients has been reported in many recent studies. The major growth stimulators of endometrial tumors are estrogens, but paradoxically, tamoxifen, a known antiestrogen, also stimulates their growth. The mode of
Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is an aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer that carries an extremely poor prognosis. Up to 35 % of USC may overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/neu) at strong (i.e., 3+) level by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or harbor HER2/neu gene amplification
Endometrial cancers have been recently molecularly characterized; amplifications of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) were seen in 25 % of the serous-like tumors, and mutations in the PI(3)K/AKT pathways were seen in 93 % of endometrioid tumors. These new findings about endometrial
AL3818 (anlotinib) is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2/KDR, and VEGFR3), stem cell factor receptor (C-kit), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGFβ), and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR3). This study
OBJECTIVE
The role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system in endometrial cancer has been well established. The IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) emerged as a promising therapeutic target in a number of cancers. NVP-AEW541 (Novartis Pharma) is a pyrrolo(2,3-d)pyrimidine derivative with specific IGF-IR
BACKGROUND
Gas6, the protein product of the growth arrest-specific gene 6 (gas6), a member of the vitamin K-dependent protein family, was identified as a ligand for the Axl/Sky family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Gas6 acts as a growth-potentiating factor for thrombin-induced proliferation of
The protein kinases includes many oncogenes and growth-factor receptors, as well as genes that are involved in cell cycle regulation. EphB4 receptors are a subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases that are activated by ephrin-B2 ligands and are thought to play an important role in the development and
Proteases contribute to tumor invasion and metastasis by degrading basement membranes and extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study, we compared gene expression levels of two proteases, cysteine protease Cathepsin L2 (CTSL2) and matrix metalloproteinase MMP11, in human endometrium and endometrial
BACKGROUND
Activating FGFR2 mutations are found in 10-16% of primary endometrial cancers and provide an opportunity for targeted therapy. We assessed the safety and activity of dovitinib, a potent tyrosine-kinase inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors, VEGF receptors, PDGFR-β, and c-KIT, as
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors against the receptors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR), epidermal growth factor (EGFR) and the platelet derived growth factor (PDGFR) are increasingly used in the treatment of progressive cancers. However, the expression of these receptors especially in lung
BACKGROUND
Patients presenting with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic endometrial cancer have limited treatment options. On behalf of the Gynecologic Oncology Group, we conducted this phase II trial of nintedanib (BIBF 1120), a potent small molecule triple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of
