Synovial Sarcoma

Case Report: A case of primary renal synovial sarcoma. (PubMed, Front Surg)
Postoperatively, the patient received chemotherapy with epirubicin combined with ifosfamide. Follow-up showed no significant evidence of metastasis or recurrence. This report aims to provide clinical reference regarding the imaging findings and diagnosis of this rare disease, primary renal synovial sarcoma.

NKG2D-based CAR-T cells for synovial sarcoma: A preclinical proof-of-concept study. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
These CAR-T cells showed effector responses and antitumor effects against synovial sarcoma cells in vitro, as demonstrated by the results of the intracellular cytokine production, cytokine secretion, CD107a degranulation assay, WST-8 assay, and real-time cell analysis, and in vivo in an NSG mouse xenograft model of synovial sarcoma. Although further mechanistic, translational, and safety validation studies are required, these findings provide a preliminary disease-specific preclinical proof of concept for HLA-independent NKG2D-based CAR-T cell therapy in synovial sarcoma, particularly in patients who are ineligible for or have not responded to TCR-T therapy.

Apatinib inhibits synovial sarcoma progression and angiogenesis via VEGFR2-mediated AKT/FOXO3A and ERK1/2/FOXM1 signaling pathways. (PubMed, Cell Death Discov)
In vivo, apatinib markedly suppressed xenograft tumor growth and modulated the corresponding signaling pathways. Collectively, our findings identify apatinib as a promising therapeutic agent that disrupts interconnected survival and angiogenic networks in SS.

MicroRNA-29b-5p regulates cell proliferation and cancer stemness via TGF-β/p300 pathway in human synovial sarcoma. (PubMed, Cancer Cell Int)
In conclusion, miR-29b-5p may suppresses cancer stemness and aggressiveness in SS to some extent by targeting EP300, with a relatively more pronounced effect in SSX1 cells. Preliminarily these fundings suggest that miR-29b-5p-mediated modulation of EP300 and the TGF-β signaling pathway may provide a potential research data for synovial sarcoma studies.

Synchronous Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma and Nonthyroid Malignancies in Pediatric Patients: A Registry-based Case Series. (PubMed, Klin Padiatr)
Synchronous presentation of differentiated thyroid carcinoma and other malignancies in pediatric patients, while rare, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. These cases warrant multidisciplinary evaluation and may reflect underlying cancer predisposition, immune dysregulation, or previously unrecognized risk factors.

Synovial Sarcoma: Molecular Biology, Pathology, and Therapeutic Strategies. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Meanwhile, despite recent advances in diagnosis and therapy, SS remains a diagnostic and clinical challenge due to the associated broad anatomical distribution and diverse histological patterns. This review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the clinical, molecular, and pathological features of SS, with emphasis on diagnostic strategies and treatment approaches.

Advances in cell therapy for solid tumours: European perspective and future directions. (PubMed, Lancet Reg Health Eur)
The recent US FDA approvals of lifileucel (a TIL therapy for advanced melanoma) and afamitresgene autoleucel (a TCR therapy targeting MAGE-A4 in synovial sarcoma) mark the first regulatory recognition of cell therapies for solid tumours and signal a new era for oncology...Emphasis is placed on emerging innovations like gene-edited and allogeneic therapies, as well as future directions for integrating cell therapies into mainstream oncology. We conclude with recommendations for overcoming barriers related to cost, toxicity management, and equitable access across Europe.
