PAMP orchestrates proline metabolic rewiring to suppress LUAD via PYCR1 inhibition. (PubMed, EMBO Mol Med)
Notably, synthetic PAMP administration recapitulates these anti-tumor effects, effectively reducing intracellular proline levels and impairing tumor progression in cellular and animal models. Together, our findings uncover a previously uncharacterized lncRNA-encoded micropeptide that orchestrates proline metabolic reprogramming to restrain LUAD development, offering new opportunities for metabolic intervention in precision oncology.

DLGAP5 Drives Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell Growth by Promoting Autophagy Activity. (PubMed, Can Respir J)
To sum up, DLGAP5 could contribute to proliferation and impede apoptosis of LUAD cells by activating autophagy activity, suggesting that targeting DLGAP5 might be a promising approach for LUAD treatment.

Stage 4A Lung Adenocarcinoma with Rare EGFR Exon 21 L861Q and Exon 18 G719A Co-Mutations Showing Complete PET-CT Response to Osimertinib: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
This case demonstrates that osimertinib can achieve an early, deep, and sustainable response in patients with a rare G719A/L861Q co-mutation. Prospective evidence is necessary for rare EGFR subtypes.

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan as a Salvage Therapy after Disitamab Vedotin Failure in HER2 Altered Solid Tumors: A Preliminary Real-world Comparative Study. (PubMed, Pak J Med Sci)
DS-8201 demonstrates potential as one of the effective salvage therapies following RC48 failure in HER2 altered solid tumors, showing significantly better disease control and a distinct, manageable toxicity profile. These findings highlight the importance of selecting personalized ADCs based on molecular subtypes and toxicity factors and provide a basis for future, larger-scale prospective studies.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis Masking Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Diagnostic Pitfall Following Apparent Treatment Response. (PubMed, Cureus)
This case highlights how apparent treatment response can be misleading and may delay the recognition of an underlying malignancy. Reassessment should be considered when the clinical course becomes atypical or rapidly progressive, particularly in high-risk patients.

Reduced-Dose Dabrafenib-Trametinib for BRAF V600E-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma in a Very Elderly Patient With ECOG PS 2. (PubMed, Respirol Case Rep)
Reduced-dose dabrafenib and trametinib were initiated with prophylactic naproxen to mitigate the risk of pyrexia. Treatment has been continued for over 6 months with sustained disease stability. This case suggests that an upfront dose-attenuation strategy combined with proactive toxicity management, including pyrexia prophylaxis, may represent a practical approach to maintain treatment continuity and clinical benefit in selected very elderly or frail patients.
