Abstract
This review systematically examines the literature and data on the prognostic significance of heat shock proteins (heat shock protein - Hsp) Hsp27, Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90 in various cancers. Our analysis of the literature showed that the existing data are contradictory with regard to the prognostic significance of Hsp. This result may be due to biological differences of the carcinomas studied and methodological differences in the assessment of heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins play a significant role in the development of cancer, as they are highly expressed and thus allow tumor cells to escape apoptotic death. Therefore, the inhibition of Hsps is currently an attractive potential therapeutic approach against cancer.
Keywords: Cancer, heat shock proteins, Hsp27, Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, prognostic markers.

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers and Potential Drug Targets: From Diagnosis to Therapy
Cancer biomarkers play a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. They provide valuable information for cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment selection, and monitoring response to therapy. With advancements in molecular biology and high-throughput technologies, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing cancer biomarkers ...read more
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target Drug Resistant Tumors
With the development of disciplines such as chemical biology and molecular biology, the genes or proteins closely related to tumor occurrence and development have gradually become clear. Targeted therapies targeting these genes or proteins provide more effective methods for tumor treatment. Tumor targeted drugs generally only act on specific targets ...read more
ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
