Medullary thyroid cancer: a promising model for targeted therapy.

abstract：:Although surgery and radiotherapy are highly efficient in local tumor control, distal metastases and tumor recurrence often limit therapeutic outcome. It is becoming progressively more evident that curative tumor therapy depends on the presence and maintenance of an intact immune system which has the capacity to elici...

abstract：:Until recently it was believed that TNF-induced apoptosis is mediated exclusively by TNF-RI because TNF-RII lacks death domain. However, it has been demonstrated that TNF-RII enhances TNF-RI-mediated apoptosis. In this review, I have discussed the evidence and mechanisms by which TNF-RII regulates TNF-alpha-induced ap...
