Journal ArticleDOI

Critical research gaps and translational priorities for the successful prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

Suzanne A. Eccles, +86 more
TL;DR: With resources to conduct further high-quality targeted research focusing on the gaps identified, increased knowledge translating into improved clinical care should be achievable within five years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoprotegerin inhibits the development of osteolytic bone disease in multiple myeloma

TL;DR: The data suggest that the RANKL/RANK/OPG system may play a critical role in the development of osteolytic bone disease in multiple myeloma and that targeting this system may have therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumour macrophages as potential targets of bisphosphonates

TL;DR: There is now a growing body of evidence, both from in vitro and in vivo models, showing that zoledronic acid can also target tumour cells to increase apoptotic cell death and decrease proliferation, migration and invasion, and that this effect is significantly enhanced in combination with chemotherapy agents.
Journal Article

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a survival factor for human prostate cancer cells.

TL;DR: A strong negative correlation was observed between levels of endogenously produced OPG in the medium and the capacity of TRAIL to induce apoptosis in cells that produced high levels of OPG, suggesting that prostate cancer-derived OPG may be an important survival factor in hormone-resistant prostate cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zoledronic acid repolarizes tumour‐associated macrophages and inhibits mammary carcinogenesis by targeting the mevalonate pathway

TL;DR: Data indicate that clinically achievable doses of ZA inhibit spontaneous mammary cancerogenesis by targeting the local microenvironment, as shown by a decreased tumour vascularization, a reduced number of tumour‐associated macrophages and their reverted polarization from M2 to M1 phenotype.
