Surgical debulking with fertility preservation in primary extra-neural ependymoma presenting with widespread peritoneal and intra-abdominal disease: Case report and literature review. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
Given limited evidence, optimal management remains undefined however surgical cytoreduction continues to be the cornerstone of management across reported cases with adjuvant treatment individualised. Certain fertility preservation strategies are concurrently feasible within a multidisciplinary framework and should be considered given reported cases are predominantly seen in younger females.

Case Report: Prostate adenocarcinoma with peritoneal carcinomatosis and elevated CEA mimicking colorectal cancer: a diagnostic dilemma. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
He achieved an excellent response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with abiraterone and prednisone, maintaining an undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level for over 2 years...The patient transitioned to docetaxel plus ADT, resulting in symptomatic improvement and partial radiologic response...Second, standard markers such as PSA and immunohistochemistry may be misleading in atypical presentations. Finally, the case highlights the decisive role of molecular diagnostics, specifically NGS, in identifying tumor origin and preventing misdiagnosis.

A global clinicopathologic and molecular portrait of spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma with emphasis on retroperitoneal cases. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
However, these frequency estimates are derived from a subset of tested cases and should be interpreted within the context of variable molecular data reporting across studies. These findings highlight the potential value molecularly guided treatment strategies in this rare and lethal disease subtype.

KRAS inhibition is an effective therapy for appendiceal adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We evaluated KRAS G12D -specific (MRTX1133) and pan-KRAS inhibitor (RMC-6236) in KRAS mut organoid and orthotopic PDX models of AA. Additionally, KRAS inhibition remodels TME and may enhance innate immune signaling. These findings support continued clinical development of KRAS inhibitors in AA and provide a rationale for combination strategies targeting resistance pathways and stromal remodeling.

Peritoneal Mesonephric-Like Adenocarcinoma Arising in Endometriosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature Expanding the Spectrum of Extrauterine Mesonephric-Like Adenocarcinomas. (PubMed, Int J Surg Pathol)
The peritoneal location, particularly in association with endometriosis, raises the possibility of a peritoneal origin.ConclusionPeritoneal MLA is exceptionally rare. Pathologists should consider MLA in the differential diagnosis of peritoneal tumors, particularly those arising in the setting of endometriosis, to ensure accurate classification and appropriate clinical management.

Metastatic Odyssey: Decoding the Genomic Journey from Primary Colorectal Cancer to Disseminated Disease. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
The clinical future lies in interception: leveraging liquid biopsies for early detection, targeting both tumor-intrinsic vulnerabilities and permissive metastatic niches and adapting therapy dynamically to anticipate resistance. Understanding this genomic odyssey is essential for transforming mCRC into a controllable chronic condition.
