A Case of Metastatic Melanoma Refractory to Immunotherapy: Is Cytotoxic Chemotherapy Still an Effective Option? (PubMed, Cureus)
Interestingly, some of these patients may derive meaningful benefit from cytotoxic chemotherapy. We present the report of a case of a 63-year-old lady with BRAF wild type, locally advanced mucosal melanoma who demonstrated disease progression on combination immunotherapy with Ipilimumab and nivolumab. She subsequently achieved an exceptional and durable radiological and clinical response to chemotherapy with cisplatin and dacarbazine. This case highlights that, despite advances in personalized medicine and immunotherapy, conventional chemotherapy may still represent a valuable therapeutic option in selected patients, particularly in the refractory setting.

Upregulation of miR-4286 and miR-146a-5p in Metastatic Melanoma, Revealed by Multiplex Expression Analysis. (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol)
This study demonstrates significant alterations in the miRNA expression profile in metastatic melanoma and highlights the potential of miR-146a-5p and miR-4286 as key regulators of tumor biology.

Molecular Targeting of EGFR, BRAF, and HER2 Signaling in Colorectal Cancer: Contemporary Advances with Panitumumab, Encorafenib, and Tucatinib. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Trastuzumab-based combinations and HER2-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as tucatinib have demonstrated durable responses and favorable safety profiles in heavily pretreated patients. This review summarizes current evidence from pivotal phase II and III clinical trials, translational studies, and real-world data evaluating EGFR-, BRAF-, and HER2-directed therapies in colorectal cancer. Particular emphasis is placed on biomarker-guided patient selection, mechanisms of resistance, and emerging combination strategies that continue to refine precision oncology approaches in mCRC.

Contribution of molecular profiling in primary cervical intramedullary melanoma: case report and literature review. (PubMed, J Neuroradiol)
This case highlights the crucial role of molecular profiling in the diagnostic workup of intramedullary melanocytic lesions. The identification of GNAQ mutations, after the exclusion of other GNAQ-mutated primaries, supports a primary CNS origin, whereas BRAF mutations suggest a metastatic origin. Accurate diagnosis drastically alters the oncological management.

The Impact of Surgical Resection in Early Onset Colorectal Cancer Patients With Liver Limited Disease. (PubMed, Clin Colorectal Cancer)
The results indicate a worse overall prognosis for EO-CRC patients undergoing metastasectomy compared to average-onset patients. This outcome appears to occur independently of the molecular status. These observations could have a considerable impact on clinical practice and research.

Molecular Profiling and Matched Targeted Therapy for Patients With Advanced Melanoma: Results From Part 1 of the MatchMEL Study. (PubMed, JCO Precis Oncol)
Our findings suggest significant clinical, pathologic, and molecular correlations in an Australian cohort of advanced melanoma treated with ICIs. Patients with NF1 mutation exhibited higher TMB, which was associated with improved response to ICIs.

Effect of sex differences on the emergence of ctDNA RAS mutations in RAS wild-type colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
The overall survival rates were comparable between the RAS mutation emergence and persistent RAS wild-type groups (p = 0.88). In RAS wild-type mCRC, female patients and patients with high CEA levels may benefit from precision treatment strategies that incorporate real-time genetic monitoring.
