Integrating Molecular Pathology, Tumor Microenvironment, and Novel Therapies to Overcome Resistance in Glioblastoma. (PubMed, J Mol Neurosci)
Additionally, the manuscript emphasizes novel therapeutic strategies, such as nanomedicine, oncolytic virotherapy, immunotherapy, tumor-treating fields, and phytochemical-based interventions, as well as the increasing significance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in diagnosis and personalized treatment. Lastly, this review integrates mechanistic and translational insights to establish a framework addressing blood-brain barrier limitations, therapeutic resistance, and immune evasion, thereby facilitating the advancement of precision medicine approaches for enhanced GBM outcomes.

Paired ctDNA analysis reveals diverse resistance mechanisms to mobocertinib in EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Mobocertinib demonstrated clinically meaningful activity, regardless of previous exposure to amivantamab, in EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive NSCLC subjects. Acquired resistance mechanisms to mobocertinib were diverse, which poses challenges to sustained efficacy, emphasizing the need for development of a tailored subsequent therapeutic strategy.

Concurrent de novo glioblastoma and meningiomatosis: a case report and systematic review of clinical, molecular, and topographical characteristics. (PubMed, Neurol Sci)
The coexistence of GBM and meningioma appears mostly coincidental, driven by distinct molecular pathways rather than a common progenitor. Despite the benign nature of the associated meningioma, prognosis is dictated by the aggressive GBM component. Early surgical intervention and modern adjuvant therapy remain essential for optimizing survival in these complex cases.

Crizotinib or vebreltinib response and resistance in advanced non-small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14 skipping. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
While vebreltinib appears clinically advantageous over crizotinib for METex14-mutated NSCLC, the therapeutic benefits did not reach statistical significance in this study. The observed differential response patterns and resistance mechanisms suggest distinct biological behaviors to type Ia and Ib MET TKIs that warrant further investigation. These findings underscore the need for larger prospective studies to validate the potential superiority of vebreltinib and to better characterize the molecular determinants in NSCLC.

cIMPACT-NOW update 12: Refining Pathology-based Risk Stratification and Grading for IDH-mutant Gliomas. (PubMed, Neuro Oncol)
Our review did not uncover features to improve grading of oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, although CNS WHO grade 3 tumors with elevated mitotic rates, yet lacking necrosis, microvascular proliferation, CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion and MRI contrast enhancement, may be associated with extended survival. Implementing evidence-based criteria for risk stratification and grading will improve guidance for clinical decision-making.

Primary Gliosarcoma With Mesenchymal Differentiation Resembling Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma. (PubMed, Neuropathology)
This case represents the first documented instance of primary gliosarcoma with FDCS differentiation, thereby expanding its known differentiation spectrum. Furthermore, it demonstrates the necessity of separately analyzing each histological component in the diagnosis of challenging cases.

Glioblastoma: epidemiology, molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis, management, and therapeutic resistance. (PubMed, Mol Biomed)
However, current standard of care treatments such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, temozolomide, and tumor treating fields have reached a therapeutic plateau, highlighting the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies...We further synthesize recent advances in spatial and longitudinal profiling technologies to describe the dynamic tumor immune ecosystem. We discuss how spatial compartmentalization and evolutionary processes collectively drive immune escape and therapeutic resistance, and highlight emerging strategies including adaptive immunotherapy, precision targeted delivery, and multimodal monitoring to overcome these challenges.

Emerging role of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 in gastrointestinal cancer (Review). (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
However, PRMT5 inhibitors (e.g., GSK3326595 and JNJ-64619178) demonstrate antitumor effects in preclinical models and methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deletion may serve as a potential biomarker for patient selection. The clinical translation of PRMT5 inhibitors is limited by hematological toxicity, lack of robust predictive biomarkers beyond MTAP and potential resistance from compensatory PRMT family members. It is key to clarify GI cancer-specific PRMT5 mechanisms and potentially develop optimized combination therapies in the future.

Periostin Safeguards EGFR-Driven Genomic Instability and Sustains the Immune-Suppressive Niche in Glioblastoma. (PubMed, Hum Mutat)
In the high-CIN environment of EGFR-amplified GBM, in silico network perturbation suggested that POSTN may function as a candidate modulator of mitotic fidelity, potentially buffering against lethal genomic instability while sustaining rapid clonal evolution. Validated across multicenter cohorts, POSTN showed robust upregulation, strong diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.961), and significant prognostic relevance, emerging as a potential therapeutic vulnerability linking accelerated evolution with immune privilege in the GBM ecosystem.
