Uterine Sarcomas Harbouring Novel FOXO1 Gene Rearrangements: Report of A Case Series. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
These cases expand the landscape of FOXO1-rearranged neoplasms and describe a potential new uterine mesenchymal entity. Further study of additional cases is needed to establish whether these rearrangements truly represent an initiating event for a distinct subset of uterine sarcomas, or whether FOXO1 rearrangements simply represent an additional noninitiating/nondriver event within other established tumor types.

CXCL10/CXCR3 axis facilitates the M2 polarization of macrophages in colorectal cancer via activating RAF. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Inhibitors of CXCR3 or RAF reversed these effects, confirming that CXCL10 promoted M2 polarization via the CXCR3/RAF/ERK pathway. Overall, the CXCL10/CXCR3 axis played a key role in CRC progression by inducing M2 polarization of macrophages via the RAF/ERK pathway, suggesting that CXCL10/CXCR3 axis may be a potential therapeutic target for CRC immunotherapy.

Beyond COL1A1::PDGFB: Rare fusions and their clinical implications in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. (PubMed, World J Clin Cases)
This fusion drives tumorigenesis and forms the basis for imatinib treatment, which acts by blocking platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta kinase activity...In this editorial commentary, we briefly highlight the ever-growing genomic landscape of DFSP, report rare fusions and their biological implications, and examine the role of expanded molecular diagnostics in refining diagnosis, guiding therapy, and informing prognosis. Incorporating comprehensive fusion analysis into routine workup may be critical for accurate classification, especially in unusual presentations where reliance on morphology alone risks misdiagnosis.

Neoadjuvant TRK Inhibitors versus Chemotherapy in Advanced NTRK Fusion-Positive Sarcomas: A Real-World Evidence Analysis. (PubMed, Oncologist)
In children with NTRK fusion-positive sarcomas, upfront TRK inhibition yielded faster, deeper responses and eliminated mutilating surgery in our cohort. These data support TRK inhibitors as preferred neoadjuvant options, particularly to facilitate non-morbid resections and to avoid functional disability.

BRAF p.V600E Mutation in Mixed Odontogenic Tumors and Its Clinical Correlation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (PubMed, Int Dent J)
Its presence in a substantial portion of AFO/AFD/DO, together with their larger size compared to OD, could support a neoplastic nature in at least a subset of these lesions, though a hamartomatous DO may exist. Further investigation and clinical correlation remain essential to distinguish these entities.

[68Ga]Ga-DOTA-CEND1: A Novel PET Cyclic Peptide Tracer for Noninvasive Imaging of Neuropilin-1 Expression in Pan-Tumors. (PubMed, Mol Pharm)
Micro PET/CT at 1 h postinjection revealed significantly higher tumor uptake in NRP-1 positive tumor models than in the NRP-1 negative tumor model, while coinjection with nonradioactive CEND-1 significantly reduced tumor uptake, and tumor-to-muscle ratios aligned with NRP-1 expression levels, confirming the specificity and sensitivity of the radiotracer. As the first PET cyclic peptide radiotracer, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-CEND1 holds great potential for noninvasively detecting NRP-1 expression across tumor types, optimizing NRP-1 targeted therapy, and evaluating therapeutic responses.

Primary Bone Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Cureus)
Timely identification and precise diagnosis with specific immunohistochemistry are crucial in guiding an appropriate treatment strategy. Our analysis of 38 cases, including our case, showed a male predominance, spinal involvement, and a high MUC4 positivity rate, reinforcing its role as a key diagnostic marker.

Importance of SUMOylation Consensus Sequence of MAFK in Regulating EMT, Tumor Growth, Stemness, and Drug Resistance. (PubMed, Cancer Sci)
In this study, we focused on SUMOylation and investigated the importance of the SUMOylation consensus sequence in MAFK for MAFK-induced EMT, cellular migration and invasion, tumor and sphere formation, acquisition of stem-like properties, and drug resistance against doxorubicin by using the non-SUMOylation mimic mutant. Additionally, our results suggest that these findings depend on the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter 2 (ABCG2).

Cardamonin Inhibits the Nuclear Translocation and DNA Binding of RelA in the Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Induced NF-κB Signaling Pathway in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma A549 Cells. (PubMed, Molecules)
Mutations in these interaction sites abrogated the nuclear translocation of RelA in response to a TNF-α stimulation. The present results demonstrate that cardamonin inhibited the nuclear translocation of RelA and its DNA binding in the NF-κB signaling pathway in response to a TNF-α stimulation.
