SHP2 Inhibition Reveals Compensatory PI3K-AKT Activation in KRAS-Driven Pancreatic Cancer: Discovery of SDUY104 and Rational Approaches for Combination Therapy. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
Combining SDUY104 with an ERK inhibitor Ulixertinib produced synergistic antiproliferative activity via enhanced MAPK suppression. In a PANC-1 xenograft model, combination of SDUY104 with BKM-120 exhibited superior antitumor activity compared to either monotherapy. Collectively, this study identifies a potent SHP2 allosteric inhibitor and delineates a critical compensatory signaling mechanism underlying resistance to SHP2-targeted therapy, providing proof-of-concept support for pancreatic cancer treatment.

A Rare Presentation of Multiple Primary Cancers with Extensive Abdominopelvic Cross-Metastasis and Tumor-to-Tumor Metastasis: High-Grade Serous Carcinoma of the Ovary and Well-Differentiated Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Appendix. (PubMed, Int J Surg Pathol)
Our findings emphasize that when imaging or cytology suggests multiorigin components, clinicians should pursue thorough intraoperative exploration, multisite biopsies, and prophylactic appendectomy. Ultimately, the management of such patients requires highly individualized surgical and chemotherapeutic strategies that account for the divergent biological behaviors and therapeutic sensitivities of both HGSOC and well-differentiated appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma to optimize oncological outcomes.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC: A pharmacological outcome study. (PubMed, Pak J Pharm Sci)
Neoadjuvant nivolumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy demonstrates favorable pharmacological efficacy, manageable toxicity and biomarker-driven therapeutic response in resectable NSCLC under real-world clinical conditions. These findings support the role of personalized immunopharmacotherapy and reinforce the clinical relevance of biomarker-guided drug selection in modern pharmaceutical oncology.

Precision Medicine in Treating Lung Cancer: A Narrative Review on Treatments Targeting Oncogenic Genetic Mutations. (PubMed, Cureus)
However, the associated adverse effects of these agents, along with drug resistance, remain a challenge. In this review, we discuss targeted therapies for lung cancer, their efficacy, clinical trials, adverse effects, mechanisms of resistance, and future directions.

Optimized Preparation of Whole Murine Tumor-Bearing Lung Tissue for Flow Cytometry and Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing. (PubMed, J Vis Exp)
The procedure includes tissue perfusion, controlled enzymatic digestion, gentle mechanical dissociation, red blood cell lysis, filtration, and viability assessment, and achieves >85% viable cells prior to scRNA-seq. Finally, the tdTomato+ tumor cells are efficiently isolated by FACS and can be detected as distinct clusters by scRNA-seq using this protocol.

Impact of time-of-day on immunochemotherapy efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Ann Med Surg (Lond))
Future strategies should prioritize multicenter validation, integration of chronobiological profiling, and exploration of combination therapies. Cost-effectiveness analyses, awareness campaigns, and clinical drives to evaluate safety and adherence will be essential to establish trust and optimize outcomes.

LncRNA YIYA drives pancreatic cancer proliferation under high-glucose conditions by reinforcing a RAS-PKM2-dependent Warburg phenotype. (PubMed, FEBS Lett)
Notably, YIYA stabilises KRAS by preventing its autophagy-mediated degradation, thereby sustaining a proliferative state. This study identifies YIYA as a glucose-responsive lncRNA that links KRAS signalling to metabolic reprogramming in PDAC.
