Unlocking a breakthrough: a game-changing gene study reveals the hidden risk factors for uveal melanoma, giving hope to thousands of patients worldwide.
FDA approved rusfertide for polycythemia vera. First hepcidin mimetic reduces erythropoiesis by limiting iron availability. Offers a targeted option for patients refractory to phlebotomy or cytoreductives.
Perioperative tislelizumab plus chemotherapy improves mPR only in tsMHC-II-positive gastric cancer, not in negative patients. This phase 2 trial validates tsMHC-II as a predictive biomarker for patient selection.
On-treatment core needle biopsy after 2-4 cycles of NACT identifies breast cancer patients with 98% chance of axillary pCR if cN0, enabling safe omission of axillary surgery. In cN+ early responders, adding post-treatment MRI raises axillary pCR prediction to 89.6%.
CD19 CAR T cells achieved DAS28-CRP remission in 5 of 6 patients with treatment-refractory ACPA-positive RA in a phase 1 trial, with no ICANS and manageable CRS.
Intracranial B7-H3 CAR-T in rGBM phase 1: no DLTs, 86.7% low-grade CRS, 13/15 patients received repeated infusions. Does locoregional delivery overcome the trafficking barrier enough to justify the invasiveness in recurrent GBM? #CARTcell#Glioblastoma#ImmunoOncology
Kaposi sarcoma TME differs by HIV status even with controlled viremia. Non-HIV KS shows upregulated adaptive immunity and angiogenesis. HIV-associated KS has lower activated CD4 infiltration. Preclinical.
FGD5 loss sensitizes PDAC to 2-DG by shifting metabolism from glycolysis to OXPHOS. FGD5 stabilizes PGK1 by blocking STUB1-mediated ubiquitination. Preclinical.
HER2-positive breast cancers resistant to tucatinib show AKAP13-driven suppression of GLI1/ULK1-dependent autophagy. Targeting AKAP13 resensitizes preclinical models to next-generation TKIs and ADCs.
Blocking SELP/PSGL1 reprograms M2 macrophages, breaks the lactate-driven feed-forward loop, and sensitizes gastric cancer to anti-PD-1 in preclinical models.
Treating metastases as extensions of primary tumors is failing patients. This review maps how clinical metastases evolve, from early vs late dissemination to organ-specific colonization and therapy-driven selection. Preclinical evidence frames the biology.
Ultraprocessed food intake linked to higher prostate cancer risk in a large cohort. Does dietary modulation of IGF-1 or chronic inflammation drive this association in hormone-sensitive disease Preclinical only #prostatecancer#ultraprocessedfood#cancerprevention
ctDNA outperformed CEA/CA15-3 for predicting recurrence and survival in inflammatory breast cancer in this retrospective analysis. ctDNA dynamics captured relapse earlier and stratified risk more precisely than conventional markers.
Local C3 in the tumor microenvironment blocks immunosuppressive myeloid cell infiltration. Could intratumoral complement production be a biomarker for checkpoint inhibitor response in solid tumors Preclinical data. #TumorMicroenvironment#ComplementBiology#CancerImmunotherapy
