Current Status and Future Prospects for Esophageal Cancer

Mahdi Sheikh et al.

Summary: Over 500,000 people died from esophageal cancer (EC) in 2020, with the two main subtypes being ESCC and EAC. Recent advancements in genomics and microbiome studies, as well as the establishment of research infrastructure in high-risk regions, have improved our understanding of the causes and risk factors of these diseases in different regions. Studies on chemoprevention methods and early detection techniques have shown promising results, but there are still challenges that need to be addressed in future research.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Peritumoral CD16b positive-neutrophil accumulation strongly correlates with regional lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer

Hiromu Fujita et al.

Summary: This study found that peritumoral accumulation of CD16b-positive neutrophils is strongly correlated with lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer and is an independent predictive factor.

Identification of Galectin-7 as a crucial metastatic enhancer of squamous cell carcinoma associated with immunosuppression

Jianbo An et al.

Summary: Metastasis predicts poor prognosis in cancer patients. Galectin-7 is identified as a crucial mediator of metastasis associated with immunosuppression. Galectin-7 is expressed in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and plays an important role in tumor metastasis to lymph nodes and lungs.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

G-CSF in tumors: Aggressiveness, tumor microenvironment and immune cell regulation

Ioannis Karagiannidis et al.

Summary: G-CSF is known for its role in neutrophil maturation and mobilization, but high levels of G-CSF in tumors may contribute to aggressive tumor behavior, poor prognosis, and high mortality rates. Research suggests that G-CSF promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, and the development of pro-tumorigenic immune cell types, highlighting a potential for tumor-promoting effects that should be considered in therapeutic approaches.

Immunomodulatory effects of G-CSF in cancer: Therapeutic implications

Kellie A. Mouchemore et al.

Summary: G-CSF has been reported to play a pro-tumour role in cancer by mainly affecting neutrophils and MDSCs, suppressing T cells in the presence of G-CSF. Recent studies have also highlighted other tumour-promoting effects of G-CSF on myeloid cells, raising concerns about its impact on anti-cancer treatments like immune checkpoint blockade.

G-CSF, the guardian of granulopoiesis

Hrishikesh M. Mehta et al.

Summary: A significant amount of continuous proliferation and differentiation is needed in adults to generate a billion new neutrophils daily, with G-CSF playing a crucial role in controlling granulopoiesis. CSF3R mutations are linked to various human disorders related to neutrophil production, including severe congenital neutropenia and myeloid malignancies. Despite more than thirty years since the discovery and characterization of G-CSF and G-CSF receptor, there are still fundamental questions about their physiological functions that remain unanswered.
