Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Body vs. Conventionally Fractionated Radiation Therapy for Borderline Resectable and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. (PubMed, J Gastrointest Surg)
Neoadjuvant SBRT achieves oncologic outcomes comparable to CFRT in BR/LA PC and is associated with greater adjuvant therapy use. A potential survival signal for SBRT in patients receiving FOLFIRINOX with CA19-9 > 1500U/mL is hypothesis-generating and warrants validation and formal interaction testing.

Comparing short- and long-term survivors in metastatic pancreatic cancer: Insights into patient and disease profiles impacting systemic therapy outcomes. (PubMed, Eur J Cancer)
Patient- and tumour-specific characteristics strongly influence survival in mPAC patients receiving systemic therapy. These findings can support a more detailed risk stratification at diagnosis to optimise treatment selection, avoid both over- and undertreatment, and align care with individual patient expectations and values for more personalised treatment strategies.

A novel comprehensive mucins relevant subtypes predict chemo-responses in colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
We identified a novel four mucin-characterized subtypes, which advance precision medicine by refining chemotherapy regimen selection. Our study provides valuable insights for tailoring therapeutic strategies.

Case Report: Novel molecular characterization of rare primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient completed 6 months of adjuvant mFOLFOX6, as recommended in the MAC-colon cancer guidelines...At 4 months after the last systemic therapy, the patient's biomarkers were rising, matching radiological local, ovarian, and pleural recurrences, which were histologically confirmed. Since there are no established guidelines for MAC-RP, our team is the first to apply cutting-edge cancer technologies to inform future clinical decisions and molecular tumor board discussions and to compare the genomic distance of MAC-RP with that of other bladder or colorectal origin sites.

SIAH2-WNK1 Signaling Drives Glycolytic Metabolism and Therapeutic Resistance in Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
CAF exposure enhanced SIAH2 expression, CSC spheroid growth, and resistance to fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy, whereas SIAH2 depletion effectively abrogated these effects. Collectively, these findings identify the SIAH2/WNK1 axis as a central metabolic regulator linking glycolysis, CSC maintenance, and microenvironment-driven therapy resistance in CRC, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.

Conversational AI-Enabled Precision Oncology Reveals Context-Dependent MAPK Pathway Alterations in Hispanic/Latino and Non-Hispanic White Colorectal Cancer Stratified by Age and FOLFOX Exposure. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Although MAPK alterations are pervasive in CRC, their distribution varies meaningfully by ancestry, age, and treatment exposure. These findings highlight NF1, MAPK3, RPS6KA4, and PDGFRB as potential biomarkers in EOCRC and H/L patients, supporting the need for ancestry-aware precision oncology approaches.
