Cancer is a primary cause of human fatality and conventional cancer therapies, e.g., chemotherapy, are often associated with adverse side-effects, tumor drug-resistance, and recurrence. Molecularly targeted therapy, composed of small-molecule inhibitors and immunotherapy (e.g., monoclonal antibody and cancer vaccines), is a less harmful alternative being more effective against cancer cells whilst preserving healthy tissues. Drug-resistance, however, caused by negative regulation of cell death…

Therapy-Induced Tumor Cell Death: Friend or Foe of Immunotherapy?
TLDR
An overview of the molecular mechanisms initiated by conventional therapies and the impact of treatment-induced TCD on the TME is sought and some perspectives on how to circumvent tolerogenic effects by adequate treatment selection and manipulation of key signaling cascades are provided.
Curcumin effect on cancer cells' multidrug resistance: An update
TLDR
Curcumin is suggested as a potent chemosensitizer in cancers because it has been demonstrated that curcumin regulates signaling pathways in cancer cells, reduces the expression of proteins related to drug resistance, and increases the performance of antitumor drugs at various levels.
Therapeutic Drugs and Natural Products: The Effect of Suppressing Heat Shock Proteins (Hsp) in Brain Tumors
TLDR
This chapter puts emphasis on application of HSP in the treatment of brain tumors and the potential of therapeutic drugs and/or natural products in these tumors.
Ferroptosis, a new form of cell death: opportunities and challenges in cancer
TLDR
The current findings of ferroptosis regulation are reviewed and especially focus on the function of ncRNAs in mediating the process of cell ferroPTotic death and on how ferroaptosis was in relation to other regulated cell deaths.
SPIB promotes anoikis resistance via elevated autolysosomal process in lung cancer cells
TLDR
It is identified that upon matrix deprivation, the lymphocyte lineage‐specific Ets transcription factor SPIB was activated and directly enhanced SNAP47 transcription in certain lung cancer cells and delineate an important role of SPIB in autophagy‐mediated anoikis resistance in Lung cancer cells.
Cell death rocks
TLDR
In a large cohort of early stage invasive breast cancer patients it was found that caspase-3 expression was associated to adverse cancer-specific survival, and the impact of these observations underline that it is of extreme importance to understand the mechanisms of cell death, in order to understand e.g. the mechanism of disease.
Programmed cell death, redox imbalance, and cancer therapeutics.
TLDR
FrontCold atmospheric plasma is brought affront cold atmospheric plasma as an emerging redox controller with translational potential in clinics by addressing differences and similarities among programmed cell death events regarding their associations with redox imbalance.
Selenofolate inhibits the proliferation of IGROV1 cancer cells independently from folate receptor alpha
Synergistic effects of CP-25 and 5-fluorouracil on the hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo and in vitro through regulating activating mitochondrial pathway
TLDR
This research provides a novel and effective combination strategy for the therapy of HCC but also provides an experimental basis for the development of CP-25 and 5-Fu compound preparation.
Can Hsp Targeted Gene Therapy Be a New Hope for Gliomas?
TLDR
This chapter reviewed the role of overexpressed Hsp in gliomas and the importance of the GT methods for silencing of them, and highlighted the potential of theGT methods for Hsp targeted treatment of glioma.

Targeting cell death signalling in cancer: minimising ‘Collateral damage'
TLDR
The importance of an in-depth mechanistic understanding of both apoptotic and non-apoptotic functions of those proteins under investigation as anti-cancer drug targets are highlighted and some novel approaches to sensitise cancer cells to apoptosis are outlined, thereby improving the efficacy of existing therapies when used in combination with novel targeted agents.

Relevance of necroptosis in cancer
TLDR
A better knowledge of the cascade of events regulating necroptosis is expected to assess the feasibility of its therapeutic exploitation for cancer therapy, as accumulating evidence has shown that ne croptosis promotes anticancer immune response.
