A Prospective Study of Low-dose Decitabine Combined With COP Regimen in the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory DLBCL
Decitabine is a cytosine analogue and is a specific DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor. It directly inhibits DNMT by phosphorylating DNA and inhibits DNMT, thereby reversing DNA methylation and inducing tumor cells to Normal cell differentiation or induction of tumor cell apoptosis.Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common pathological …

Immuno-Oncology Database and Bioregistry (IOG)
Immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), are effective in treating many different types of cancers. ICIs fight cancer by driving the immune system into an "activated state" that makes it harder for tumor cells to hide and easier for the immune system to destroy them. In doing this, oncologists risk …

Improved Assessment of Response in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Using Spectral-CT
The incidence of renal cancer in Denmark is approximately 900 new cases per year. Untreated, the 5-year survival rate for metastatic renal cancer (mRCC) is 2%. Development of angiogenesis inhibitors (AI) and check-point immunotherapy (CPI) has improved survival. Treatment efficacy is evaluated by CT scans, using RESIST 1.1 (Response Evaluation …
