All of them have been shown to attenuate cancer development: the renin-angiotensin system inhibitors primarily by reducing inflammation, angiogenesis and immunosuppression, beta blockers by repressing migration and metastasis, heparins by decreasing metastasis and statins by influencing cell growth, apoptosis, migration and angiogenesis.
Here we found that cold exposure leads to transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8)-dependent, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)-mediated hypertension, which subsequently induces small molecule and fluid extravasation, increases plasma Ig levels, and elicits immunosuppression.
Treatment consisted mostly of blockade of the renin angiotensin system (89.4%) and modification of immunosuppression (85.1%), mainly by increasing oral steroids dose (83%), with venous pulse therapy in 63.8% of cases.
