Survival: August 2023 by The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Pdf

Survival, the IISS’s bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment. In this issue: François Heisbourg assesses that Ukraine might have to accept the de facto division of the country to secure a fast track into NATO Daniel Byman writes that state ties to terrorist groups are likely to feature in the western alliance’s long-term confrontation with Russia and in its rivalry with China Juan Pablo Medina Bickel and Irene Mia assess that global climate mitigation and the energy transition could reinforce South America’s geopolitical clout From the Survival archives, the late David P. Calleo predicted in 1999 that a successful euro would enhance the EU’s diplomatic and military capabilities, while the late James Dobbins considered in 2012 how the US could prevent a war with China Dana H. Allin and John L. Harper reflect on long-time Survival contributing editor David P. Calleo’s legacy And nine more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.

The Role of Tumor Microenvironment in the Development, Treatment and Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Jiang Chen,Xuming Tang,Hui Liu,Zhigang Ren Pdf

Primary liver cancer (PLC), including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and other rare tumors, is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Of all primary liver cancer, HCC is the most common type. Evidence has accumulated that the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in fostering or restraining tumor development. The tumor microenvironment (TME), which includes molecular, cellular, extracellular matrix(ECM), and vascular signaling pathways, is a complex ecosystem. The interaction between the tumor microenvironment and cancer cells can enhance the malignant properties of tumors, including proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and therapy resistance. In addition, the tumor microenvironment can also lead to abnormal angiogenesis and promote immunosuppression. HCC has been resistant to targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, further study of the tumor microenvironment of HCC may be helpful for the development of therapeutic methods for HCC.

Novel molecular mechanisms and clinical strategies in solid tumor recurrence and metastasis: from bench to bedside by Zheng Wang,Yanfeng Liu,Hangcheng Fu,Yonglong Zhang Pdf

Recurrence and metastasis of malignancy is a multistep process that involves the escape of tumor cells from the primary location, systemic translocation in the body, and adaptation to the foreign microenvironment of distant sites. The spread of cancer cells is mediated by the interaction between tumor cells (seeds) and the microenvironment of the host organ (soil). Emerging evidence has revealed several stages of the invasion-metastasis cascade, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and immune surveillance escape. Moreover, host organs could develop premetastatic niches and be more vulnerable to cancer cell colonization, adaptation and growth.

Lessons from Past Heroes by Phumlani M Majozi Pdf

What can be learned from black South Africans who achieved success before South Africa became a democracy in 1994? What are the challenges they faced, and how did they overcome them? And, today, how have South Africans benefited from the country's democratic system of governance? These are the questions Phumlani M. Majozi explores and attempts to answer in Lessons from Past Heroes. He traces black people's success and political activity back to the early 1900s; successful men and women who spearheaded the struggle against the segregationist, colonialist government and devoted their lives to advancing the interests of their communities. Phumlani explores the careers, challenges, and successes of people such as Pixley ka Isaka Seme, John Langalibalele Dube, Sol Plaatje and Josiah Tshangana Gumede. During the apartheid years, South Africa produced black men and women who overcame the odds to succeed in their fields of business, entertainment, science, and politics. They excelled in the face of an oppressive government system, and their stories should inspire every South African today. After exploring the history of South Africa, Phumlani delves into the present and the future; evaluating the challenges South Africans face and proposes solutions that can speed up their economic progress. He argues that much of South Africa's history has portrayed the majority as victims of the minority, and that the inspirational stories of those people who overcame adversity are not being told widely enough. These stories must be told to inspire future generations. If black South Africans could succeed in the pre-1994 era, what can stop them today? The answer is nothing, Phumlani writes. Phumlani M. Majozi is a business and macroeconomics analyst, writer and commentator on economic, political and global issues. He is a Senior Fellow at African Liberty and sits on the boards of four organisations: Chartered Institute of Business Accountants (CIBA), South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR), Social Research Foundation (SRF) and Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).

Management of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies. (Cytoreductive Surgery, HIPEC, PIPAC, and Beyond) by Amine Souadka,Naoual Bakrin Pdf

Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) include a heterogeneous group of primary tumors, like peritoneal mesothelioma, and peritoneal metastases from various origins such as ovarian, gastric, colorectal, or appendicular cancers. Their pathophysiology is complex and still not fully elucidated. Historically, due to their dismal prognosis, peritoneal surface malignancies were considered a terminal condition and treated as such in palliative intent.. Surgery has become pivotal in the treatment of PSM and the development of specific techniques of cytoreductive surgery (peritonectomies, “en-bloc” resection) open up a new era of curative intent treatments.

Heterogeneity in Breast Cancer: Clinical and Therapeutic Implications by Anna Diana,Cinzia Solinas,Benedetta Pellegrino Pdf

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease. Despite advances in early detection and treatment, breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Heterogeneity negatively affects a patient’s prognosis, treatment sensitivity, and clinical outcome. In particular, the development of drug resistance mechanisms and the failure of anticancer drugs (initially or subsequently) could lie in the heterogeneity among BC patients and tumors. The major international guidelines have adopted an immunophenotypic sub-classification of BC to maximize patient eligibility for personalized therapy but do not take into account the extreme diversity existing between breast tumors (intratumor heterogeneity).

Hepatocellular carcinoma: from personalized medicine to practical guidelines by Sarah El-Nakeep,Anup Kasi,Ahmed Sawabi Shwaky,Wangi Rachel,Htar Aung Pdf

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. HCC is the fourth cause of cancer-related mortality and the fifth most common cancer in the world. The prognosis and survival of patients depend mainly on the cancer stage at time of diagnosis. Earlier detection of the disease has seen improvement in treatment and disease-free survival over the last several decades. Currently, the only curable treatment for HCC is tumor resection or transplantation. These measures are strictly successful only if caught during early-stage HCC. Research has identified multiple molecular pathways involved in HCC on genetic, epigenetic, and proteomic levels. There has been a lot of research into designing drugs to specifically target these molecular pathways affected in patients, and thus contributing to personalized medical treatment. There is abundant bioinformatic research to document the extensive molecular pathways involved as well as drug docking techniques used to assess drug candidates for treating those affected pathways. These bioinformatic techniques result in identifying candidates suitable for further analysis in tissue and animal models and human trials.
