Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

Retroviruses are RNA viruses that have been shown to cause cancers in diverse species, including chickens, mice, cats, and monkeys. The RNA genomes of these viruses are first reverse-transcribed into single and then double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) copies. This dsDNA called proviral DNA then integrates into the host genome. Subsequently, the host cell transcribes the proviral DNA in concert with the chromosomal DNA. This leads to the production of viral RNA and proteins that assemble at the host...

Cancer Prevention

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Clinical Practice Guidelines

Background:

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) provides evidence-based guidelines for cancer treatment.
Kidney cancer management involves distinct approaches for clear cell and non-clear cell renal carcinoma.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Kidney Cancer.
To highlight changes in treatment recommendations and follow-up care.

Main Methods:

Review of updated NCCN Guidelines for Kidney Cancer.
Analysis of new data supporting treatment recommendations.

Main Results:

Axitinib is now recommended as a first-line treatment option for clear cell renal carcinoma.
Pazopanib is supported by new data for subsequent therapy in clear cell carcinoma after first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment.
Updated guidelines for the follow-up of renal cell carcinoma patients are included.

Conclusions:

The NCCN Guidelines for Kidney Cancer have been updated to reflect the latest evidence.
These updates provide clinicians with current recommendations for managing renal cell carcinoma.
