Abstract：
:Epigenetic alterations play a pivotal role in cancer development and progression. Pharmacologic reversion of such alterations is feasible, and second generation "epigenetic drugs" are in development and have been demonstrated to possess significant immunomodulatory properties. This knowledge, together with the availability of new and highly effective immunotherapeutic agents including immune checkpoint(s) blocking monoclonal antibodies, allows us to plan for highly innovative proof-of-principle combination studies that will likely open the path to more effective anticancer therapies.

杂志文章,评审abstract：:Sentinel nodes (SNs) are the first set of nodes to receive drainage and cancer cells from a primary tumor. While there may be a single SN, frequently there are one to three or more SNs. The development of sentinel node surgery over the last decade has led to dramatic changes in the surgical approach to regional nodes ...
