In light of the lack of metastatic dissemination and the patient's advanced age, targeted therapy with imatinib was commenced, leading to the elimination of hypoglycemia episodes. This case underscores the necessity of incorporating NICTH into the differential diagnosis of hypoglycemia in non-diabetic individuals, particularly when a tumor is present. Timely identification and focused intervention of the underlying neoplasm can result in positive outcomes.

This study describes a novel mechanism of direct bone marrow-mediated protection of leukemic cells from imatinib/TKI, related to transfer of metabolic proteins leading to higher activity of TCA cycle, metabolic plasticity and adaptation. Targeting the stroma-driven TCA cycle-related metabolism combined with imatinib presents a promising strategy to achieve therapeutic efficacy to overcome bone marrow microenvironment-mediated protection in CML.

Thus, our findings uncover a novel ERK-mTOR-axis for upregulation of proteasomal degradation of XIAP which could be targeted to overcome Imatinib-resistance by combinatorial inhibition of mTOR and XIAP in CML. This study holds the promise of a new therapeutic strategy for overcoming drug resistance in cancer.

Our findings suggest that AURKB serves as a crucial biomarker in the development and progression of OA and is significantly associated with immune infiltration, offering a novel perspective for elucidating the pathogenesis of OA.

Our study leverages single-cell profiling to elucidate HPV-driven immunological remodeling in HNSCC. The derived prognostic signature effectively captures the essence of the TIME, serving as a reliable biomarker for predicting patient survival and informing precision therapy, potentially bridging the gap between HPV status and clinical decision-making.

Using a 73-gene panel, we characterized the molecular characteristics of GISTs and revealed a correlation with their clinical features. Moreover, KIT/PDGFRA-dependent and KIT/PDGFRA-independent mechanisms underlying resistance to imatinib were explored. Overall, our 73-gene panel is sufficient for clinical application in cases of GISTs.

In patients with locally advanced GIST, preoperative imatinib therapy for 7-12 months yielded the most favorable prognosis, with significantly improved RFS and OS compared to ≤6 months of treatment. Extending preoperative therapy beyond 12 months did not provide additional survival benefit.

Peritumoral CD117 immunopositive mast cell density in prostatic adenocarcinoma correlates with the new Gleason score. It may be useful in patient selection for future trials of imatinib for low-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Maslinic acid (MA), a plant-derived pentacyclic triterpene, was compared to the FDA-approved drugs dasatinib (DAS) and doxorubicin (DOX) to determine its antileukemic potential. Thus, these results illustrate that MA may act as a natural scaffold with antileukemic properties and call for additional experimental confirmation.

Instead of neoadjuvant therapeutic options for wild-type (WT) NF1-related GIST, surgical resection remains the most advantageous treatment. The efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibition and other chemotherapies tailored for WT GIST is currently untenable and warrants increased clinical trials and exploration of WT pathogenesis concerning NF1 to support Imatinib-sensitive patients.
