<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Brendon Stiles, MD, is Professor and Chief, Thoracic Surgery and Surgical Oncology, Department of Cardiothoracic &amp; Vascular Surgery at Montefiore-Einstein.&nbsp; Dr. Stiles is also the Associate Director for Surgical Services in the Montefiore-Einstein Cancer Center. Dr. Stiles&rsquo; clinical focus is on the treatment of lung and esophageal cancer and on neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Taking a patient-first philosophy, Dr. Stiles provides world-class personalized care, using minimally invasive, organ-sparing techniques and targeting surgical therapy to the specific needs of the patient and his or her individual tumor.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Dr. Stiles is also heavily involved with translational and basic research.&nbsp; Translationally, Dr. Stiles is interested in neoadjuvant immunotherapy and in predicting and augmenting response to immunotherapy.&nbsp; &nbsp;In the laboratory, he has been funded by the AATS, TSF, the Lung Cancer Research Foundation, the DOD CDMRP Lung Cancer Research Program, and the Mark Foundation.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Dr. Stiles' laboratory currently investigates the protein ART1, an extracellular mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase.&nbsp; Recently, Dr. Stiles and his team discovered that ART1 may play an important role in one mechanism of resistance in lung cancers. ART1 mono-ADP-ribosylates the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) on immune cells, which ultimately causes NAD-induced cell death (NICD) in T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. They found ART1 to be highly expressed in multiple human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and in the majority of human lung adenocarcinomas they sampled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>ART1 expression allows cancers to blunt the immune response against them. Indeed, they found that inhibiting ART1 with a therapeutic monoclonal antibody in mouse models of lung cancer caused a dramatic reduction of tumor burden and an enrichment of immune cells in the tumor.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Current efforts are underway to better understand regulation of ART1 expression, to identify more targets of extracellular mono-ADP-ribosylation, and to refine pre-clincal models to test their therapeutic antibody targeting ART1.</span></p>

Clinical Focus

Dr. Stiles&rsquo; clinical focus is on the treatment of lung and esophageal cancer and unusual thoracic cancers including metastatic tumors and those invading the heart. He also has a clinical interest in treating benign chest and upper gastrointestinal diseases.&nbsp;<quillbot-extension-portal></quillbot-extension-portal>

Research Focus

Dr. Stiles is actively involved in both clinical and translational research, particularly focusing on lung cancer. His clinical research concentrates on the management of early stage or screen detected lung cancer and on novel multidisciplinary treatment strategies for patients with lung cancer.&nbsp; In the laboratory, he investigates a protein called ART1 and its role in protecting cancer cells from the immune system. He has developed a novel drug targeting ART1 with a goal of advancing it to clinical use. He has co-authored numerous manuscripts on the management of early stage or screen-detected lung cancer, guidelines for the management of early stage lung cancer, papers regarding neoadjuvant immunotherapy for lung cancer patients and a comprehensive review on the tumor microenvironment in lung cancer.<quillbot-extension-portal></quillbot-extension-portal>
