Although the positive-response rates and peptide-specific IgG levels in pre- and post-vaccination samples differed among the 31 peptides, patients exhibiting immune boosting in response to each of the vaccinated peptides demonstrated longer survival times. Pre-vaccination factors associated with reduced clinical benefits were high c-reactive protein (CRP) levels, high neutrophil counts, lower lymphocyte and red blood cell counts, advanced disease stage and the greater number of chemotherapy courses prior to the PPV treatment. The post-vaccination factors associated with lower clinical benefits were PPV monotherapy and lower levels of immune boosting. In conclusion, pre-vaccination inflammatory signatures, rather than pre- or post-vaccination immunological signatures, were associated with reduced clinical benefits of personalized peptide vaccination (PPV) for pancreatic cancer.The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has increased over the last few decades, though it remains to be a rare disease. The prognosis of DTC is excellent; its treatment includes surgery (near-/total thyroidectomy), which is usually followed by remnant thyroid bed ablation using radio-iodine, as well as a risk-stratified follow-ups, including hormone replacement. Treatment of patients who are non-responsive to radioactive iodine (RAI) remains a challenge. Targeted therapies for RAI refractory DTC act primarily through inhibition of cell proliferation, survival and angiogenesis. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have achieved prolonged responses and improved progression-free survival, thereby representing a shift in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer. There will be number of targeted treatment options for this patient population in the near future. Evidence regarding which drug should be used first and whether there is crossover drug resistance
