Deskripsi

Generation of TNF-α in response to chemotherapy has been associated with chemo-resistance and metastasis propagation. Here the authors show that the combination of an anti-TNF antibody and cisplatin doublet chemotherapy increases anti-tumor efficacy in lung cancer preclinical models and report the results of a phase I clinical trial of the anti-TNF-α antibody certolizumab in combination with chemotherapy in patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinomas.
