Single-cell atlas reveals a pro-metastatic RELB+ neutrophil-myeloid subset underlying lymph node metastasis in EGFR-wildtype LUAD. (PubMed, Front Cell Dev Biol)
The study highlights a pro-metastatic ELANE + neutrophil subpopulation, with RELB acting as its primary transcriptional regulator. The RELB signature may serve as a biomarker for prognosis and treatment response prediction, indicating a potential target for precision treatment in EGFR wildtype LUAD.

A hybrid Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-Branching framework unifies microbial and pediatric tumor evolution. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Although Y is directly observed as log10 mutation frequency in LTEE, in tumors Y can represent a longitudinally measurable phenotypic state (e.g., drug-tolerance scores from single-cell data, MRD/VAF-derived burden proxies, or pathway activity states). The balance between stabilizing strength (θ) and stochastic variability (σ) provides a quantitative axis governing plasticity and persistence, motivating future calibration to clinical longitudinal data for evolution-aware, patient-specific modeling.

Genomic landscape of pediatric germ cell tumors reveals oncogenic mutations and copy number alterations. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Clinically significant mutations (KIT: Asp816Val, Ala829Pro; and KRAS: Gln61Leu) suggest potential therapeutic targets for GCT, while MTOR, PIK3CA, and AKT2 emerge as candidates for targeted therapy. These findings provide insights into the genomic alterations of pediatric GCTs and emphasize the potential for targeted therapies.

Nanotechnology-Enabled Precision Therapy for Lung Cancer in Never-Smokers. (PubMed, Pharmaceutics)
In summary, nanotechnology provides a promising strategy to improve both the efficacy and specificity of targeted therapies in LCINS. Successful clinical translation will depend on biologically aligned carrier-payload combinations, scalable and reproducible manufacturing processes, and biomarker-guided patient selection.

Exceptional Response to a Single Dose of Pembrolizumab as Salvage Therapy for Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma. (PubMed, JCEM Case Rep)
The patient was started on mitotane and metyrapone, followed by 8 cycles of etoposide-doxorubicin-cisplatin plus mitotane. The patient underwent complete surgical resection, achieving full remission. More than 1 year later, she remains disease free.

Turning pancreatic cancer from cold to hot: the promise of a p53-expressing oncolytic adenovirus (OBP-702). (PubMed, Int J Clin Oncol)
Of these agents, Telomelysin (OBP-301, Suratadenoturev), a telomerase-specific oncolytic adenovirus, demonstrated clinical safety but limited efficacy in refractory tumors. Given its multifaceted antitumor functions and ability to overcome key barriers in pancreatic cancer, OBP-702 represents a highly promising therapeutic candidate. A first-in-human clinical trial evaluating endoscopic ultrasonography-guided intratumoral injection of OBP-702 is currently in preparation, expected to advance clinical translation of this novel virotherapeutic strategy.

Potent cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can be generated from immune-excluded chondrosarcomas using regulatable membrane-bound IL15. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Res)
Here, we report the successful generation and expansion of TIL engineered with regulatable, membrane-bound IL15 (cytoTIL15™ cells) from immune-excluded, paucicellular chondrosarcoma biopsies largely consisting of collagenous matrix and demonstrate that these cells have potent tumor-killing capacity in cell culture and in tumor spheroid models in the absence of exogenous IL2...Moreover, we demonstrate that IL15 reduced the signaling threshold of T-cell receptors isolated from TIL clonotypes, increasing their infiltration and cytotoxicity in autologous 3D tumor models. These results suggest the possibility of developing an effective IL2-free TIL therapy for patients with immune-excluded tumors.

IGSF9 promotes immunotherapy resistance in colon cancer by orchestrating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and enables combinatorial targeting strategies. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Rep)
Drug sensitivity analysis identified Doramapimod, a MAPK inhibitor, which combined with anti-PD-1 therapy significantly enhanced tumor regression in mouse models by reducing Treg infiltration. In conclusion, this study establishes IGSF9 as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for immunotherapy resistance in CC and suggests that targeting IGSF9-associated KRAS/MAPK pathways with Doramapimod may offer a novel combination strategy to overcome TME-mediated resistance, warranting further clinical investigation for personalized CC treatment.

Advances in immunotherapy for colorectal cancer: overcoming resistance in mismatch repair-proficient tumors. (PubMed, Cancer Cell Int)
Early-phase trials combining these approaches in MSS CRC show encouraging activity, while neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy in MSI-H disease redefines treatment paradigms, with some patients achieving complete responses without surgery. This review synthesizes the current evidence and emerging innovations in CRC immunotherapy and proposes a structured translational framework to extend immunotherapy benefits beyond the MSI-H subset.
