Peritoneal Cancer

Retroperitoneal Malignant Triton Tumor in a 6-Year-Old Child Mimicking Wilms Tumor: A Case Report. (PubMed, Int Med Case Rep J)
Despite palliative chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and vincristine), the patient experienced rapid tumor recurrence and progressive clinical deterioration, culminating in death three weeks post-intervention. In resource-limited settings, where advanced molecular diagnostics are scarce, maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion and ensuring multidisciplinary management are paramount. Early histopathological confirmation is critical to addressing the rapid progression and therapeutic resistance characteristic of this malignancy.

Spectral CT iodine quantification for peritoneal metastasis burden and resectability prediction in ovarian cancer: a retrospective cohort study. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Spectral CT iodine quantification demonstrates potential as a complementary tool for estimating peritoneal metastasis burden and predicting surgical resectability. The NIC threshold of 0.55 shows promise for stratifying patients, though external validation is needed before integration into preoperative staging protocols.

Association of SNHG17/CDKN2B-AS1 polymorphisms with salpingitis and fallopian tube carcinoma susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. (PubMed, Gynecol Pelvic Med)
However, no significant associations were found between these SNPs and salpingitis susceptibility. Given the genetic heterogeneity among Han Chinese populations across different regions, these findings from a single center in Sichuan should be validated in multi-regional cohorts to generalize their applicability.

Immunological Insights into Peritoneal Carcinomatosis for Gastrointestinal Malignancies: The Role of Soluble Factors in Malignant Ascites. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Survival was negatively correlated with PD-L1, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in colorectal cancer; 4-1BB, TGF-β1, IL-8, and IL-10 in gastric cancer; and TGF-β1, IL-6, and IL-10 in pancreatic cancer. These exploratory findings indicate that the immunosuppressive milieu in malignant ascites in gastrointestinal cancers may be mediated by cancer subtype-specific pathways, warranting further mechanistic and translational investigation.

An appendiceal cancer organoid biobank identifies phenotypic evolution and druggable dependencies of peritoneal carcinomatosis. (PubMed, Dev Cell)
Single-cell profiling reveals dedifferentiation from differentiated states in primary AC into intestinal stem cell and fetal progenitor states in AC-PC, with upregulation of oncogenic signaling pathways. We identify KRASMULTI-ON inhibitor RMC-7977 and the Wnt-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor WNTinib as clinically actionable strategies to target AC-PC more effectively.
