Combining inhibition of galectin-3 with and before a therapeutic vaccination is critical for the prostate-tumor-free outcome by Carolina Tiraboschi, Lucas Gentilini, Carla Velazquez, Enrique Corapi, Felipe Martín Jaworski, José Daniel Garcia Garcia, Yorfer Rondón, Anne Chauchereau, Diego José Laderach, Daniel Compagno

“…Our results show that low and non-cytotoxic doses of docetaxel lead to the inhibition of Gal-3 expression in PCa cells as well as in clinical samples of patients with metastatic and castration-resistant PCa promoting a Th1 response. We thus optimized a prostate cancer animal model that undergoes surgical resection of the tumor to mimic prostatectomy usually performed in patients. …”
