Efficacy and Safety of High-dose Furmonertinib plus Intrathecal Pemetrexed for EGFR-mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with Leptomeningeal Metastasis (PubMed, Zhongguo Fei Ai Za Zhi)
High-dose Furmonertinib combined with IP is an effective and well-tolerated regimen for EGFR-mutant NSCLC-LM. The addition of Bevacizumab may further improve outcomes, offering a promising strategy for refractory patients.

SPAG5 promotes ferroptosis and enhances chemotherapy efficacy in locally advanced colorectal cancer via upregulating intracellular ROS levels. (PubMed, Apoptosis)
Furthermore, inhibition of ROS reversed the chemotherapy-sensitizing effect mediated by SPAG5. Together, these findings suggest that SPAG5 may serve as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target to potentiate the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy in LACRC patients.

Denosumab Combined With PARP Inhibitors and Chemoradiotherapy for Treating Triple Negative Breast Cancer With Bone Metastasis: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cancer Rep (Hoboken))
This case suggests that the combination of denosumab with PARP inhibitors and chemoradiotherapy may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for TNBC patients with bone metastasis. Further studies are warranted to validate the efficacy and safety of this combined treatment approach.

Co-expression of PKCζ and ALDH1A3 Is Associated With Poor Chemotherapeutic Responses in Basal-like Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Genomics Proteomics)
PKCζ contributes to chemotherapeutic resistance, especially in patients with ALDH1A3-positive basal-like breast cancer, possibly through the regulation of CSC survival and proliferation. Moreover, PKCζ, either alone or in combination with ALDH1A3 expression, may serve as a prognostic biomarker for predicting the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy in basal-like breast cancer.

Pathological complete response in microsatellite- stable gastric cancer with liver and bulky lymph node metastases after nivolumab-based chemotherapy and surgery: a case report. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Herein, we present a case of advanced MSS gastric cancer with liver and bulky lymph node metastases, in which combination therapy with S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) and nivolumab led to a pathological complete response...This case illustrates that even in MSS gastric cancer with low TMB levels, exceptionally high PD-L1 expression may predict a profound response to ICI-based therapy. The PD-L1 CPS may serve as a critical biomarker independent of TMB or microsatellite-instability status.

Discovery of seco-(9β-H)-Pimarane Diterpenoids from Icacina oliviformis with Synergistic Anti-Colorectal Cancer Activity. (PubMed, Org Lett)
In the multicell line screening, compound 9 showed superior potency and selectivity against HT-29 (IC50 = 5.32 μM) and SW620 (IC50 = 9.92 μM) cells compared to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Moreover, it exhibited strong synergy with 5-FU in both HT-29 cells (CI = 0.0904) and CRC patient-derived organoids (CI = 0.2903), suggesting a significant dose-reduction potential for 5-FU. Mechanistic studies revealed that compound 9 induced apoptosis in HT-29 cells via ROS-driven selective activation of the ATF6-CHOP pathway.

COL8A1-positive cancer-associated fibroblasts are drivers of 5-fluorouracil resistance in colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Apoptosis)
COL8A1⁺Fibs orchestrate 5-FU resistance in CRC via a COL8A1/ITGB1-mediated EMT axis. Disrupting this stromal-tumor crosstalk represents a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome chemoresistance.

METTL3 Methylation Induces Decay of Endogenous Retroelement Transcripts to Promote Tumor Immune Evasion. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
Fluorouracil induced an E2F4/SETD1A/METTL3 regulatory axis, wherein E2F4 self-regulation activated SETD1A to drive METTL3 methylation. Targeting this axis through pharmacological inhibition of E2F4 or genetic disruption of METTL3 methylation cooperated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to significantly suppress tumor growth. These findings unveil a methylation-dependent regulatory mechanism that reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment, offering a therapeutic strategy for CRC.

A phase 2 study of abemaciclib in patients with brain metastases secondary to non-small cell lung cancer or melanoma. (PubMed, Neurooncol Adv)
Eligible subjects were enrolled in NSCLC or melanoma tumor-specific cohorts and treated with abemaciclib 200 mg twice daily (BID) monotherapy or 150 mg BID for NSCLC patients on concurrent pemetrexed or gemcitabine. Although abemaciclib can achieve therapeutic concentrations in brain metastases tissue, this study did not meet its primary endpoint. The limited clinical activity in this study suggests that further clinical trials should focus on the use of abemaciclib combination therapy.

Targeting fatty acid synthase suppresses tumor development in NF2/CDKN2A-deficient pleural mesothelioma. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Our drug screening assay showed that the fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor cerulenin demonstrates strong and selective antiproliferative properties against NF2/CDKN2A(p16)-deficient PM cells, surpassing the effects of C75, cisplatin or pemetrexed. These findings suggest that FASN might play a role in the tumorigenesis of PM cells through the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. This research offers a novel perspective on the potential development of precision medicine for PM.
