Commented on Chronic diseases, inflammation, and spices: how are they linked?
This review highlights that major chronic diseases, including cancer, are often induced by factors such as infections, obesity, and diet through chronic inflammation. It emphasizes the potential of dietary agents, particularly spices, in suppressing inflammatory pathways, thereby playing a crucial role in preventing and treating cancer and other chronic diseases, as evidenced by lower cancer incidence in countries with high spice consumption.

Commented on The influence of diet on anti-cancer immune responsiveness
Seems interesting! The main finding of this review is that nutrition and diet, including specific dietary patterns like the Mediterranean and ketogenic diets, as well as supplements like omega-3 and polyphenols, can potentially enhance the immune response against cancer and may improve the effectiveness of anticancer immunotherapy.

Commented on Immunogenic cell death in cancer: concept and therapeutic implications
Great article, Regulated cell death (RCD) varies in its molecular mechanisms and immunogenicity, with apoptosis typically being immunologically silent and necroptosis involving specific kinase activations; however, the immunogenicity of RCD cannot be solely determined by its molecular pathways. Future research in cancer immuno(therapy) should focus on identifying novel inducers of immunogenic cell death (ICD), developing strategies to enhance the immunogenicity of non-immunogenic RCD variants, and combining ICD inducers with immunotherapy for improved cancer treatment.

Article

Commented on Hypoxia and the phenomenon of immune exclusion
This research explores the complex relationship between tumor hypoxia and the effectiveness of immunotherapy in solid tumors, emphasizing the need for further studies to understand how hypoxia influences immune exclusion and to develop more effective combinational treatment strategies.

Commented on Gastric marginal zone lymphoma of MALT type: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up
Extranodal marginal zone lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type represent ∼7% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in the western world and can arise at any extranodal site. At least one-third of them present as a primary gastric lymphoma, which in approximately two-thirds of cases is associated with a chronic Helicobacter pylori infection.

Commented on Gastrointestinal lymphomas: French Intergroup clinical practice recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up (SNFGE, FFCD, GERCOR, UNICANCER, SFCD, SFED, SFRO, SFH)
This paper provides an updated summary of the French Intergroup guidelines for managing gastrointestinal lymphomas, involving experts from various medical fields. It emphasizes that treatment strategies vary based on the histological subtype and location of the lymphoma, with special attention to gastric MALT lymphomas commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis.
