Tasquinimod is an antineoplastic agent with immunomodulatory, anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic activity. It showed good results in overall survival improvement in castrate resistant prostate cancer. Its mechanism of action is not known, but may involve Protein S100-A9 also known as migration inhibitory factor-related protein 14 (MRP-14).

Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) refers to prostate cancer that has progressed after initial androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Over the years, treatment strategies for metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) have undergone considerable changes. We performed a network meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and
Prostate cancer commonly metastasizes to bone, and bone metastases are associated with pathologic fractures, pain, and reduced survival. Bone disease is routinely visualized using the technetium Tc 99m (99mTc) bone scan; however, the standard interpretation of bone scan data relies

This phase II study was conducted to assess clinical efficacy of tasquinimod maintenance therapy in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer not progressing during first-line docetaxel-based therapy. Patients were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to receive tasquinimod (0.25-1.0 mg/day orally) or

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive and treatment-resistant tumor. The biological implications and molecular mechanism of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) in ESCC, which contribute to therapeutic resistance such as radioresistance, remain elusive. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction
