Impact of enteral Ecoimmunonutrition on immunological response, nutritional status and tolerance to treatment in gastrointestinal malignancy patients receiving chemotherapy. (PubMed, Support Care Cancer)
These findings suggest that EIN during chemotherapy enhances nutritional and immune status, reduces inflammation, and improves QoL, warranting further large-scale trials to confirm its benefits in cancer care.

Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Neoplasm of the Uterus: A Case Report. (PubMed, J Obstet Gynaecol Res)
Laparoscopic surgery in our case provided the patient with quick recovery and a less invasive approach with satisfying results and the absence of recurrent disease during a one-year follow-up period. Future multicenter studies should facilitate a deeper comprehension and undoubtedly lead to a more effective management of a rare and enigmatic condition that is uterine PEComa.

The multifaceted role of midkine in gastrointestinal cancer: From biomarker to treatment. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Res Commun)
This review examines MDK's molecular and biological functions in gastrointestinal cancers, emphasizing its clinical utility in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. By exploring the intricate mechanisms of MDK, this study aims to advance the development of novel, personalized therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.

E7386 in patients with advanced solid tumors: results from the dose-escalation part and an expansion part of a phase I study. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
In heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors, E7386 demonstrated a manageable safety profile and a dose-dependent PK profile. PRs were noted in patients with small bowel carcinoma or desmoid tumor.

Small intestinal SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated carcinoma with intussusception: A case report. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
Next-generation sequencing of the primary small intestinal tumor identified pathogenic mutations in PTEN, TP53, ataxia telangiectasia mutated, ephrin type-A receptor 5 and EGFR p.F997L, suggesting a DNA-repair-deficient genomic background and providing potential targets for future precision therapy. Further research is warranted to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying SMARCA4-DUC, for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and to improve the understanding of the aggressiveness of SMARCA4-DUC.

Small bowel GISTs: clinicopathological patterns and the role of inflammatory markers. (PubMed, Rom J Morphol Embryol)
Although inflammatory markers showed limited overall correlations, the PLR-PNI relationship and reduced PNI in necrotic tumors suggest that inflammation and nutritional decline may reflect tumor aggressiveness in small bowel GISTs. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

SG04 Early-onset superficial spreading melanoma and macrocephaly: think Cowden syndrome. (PubMed, Br J Dermatol)
In the literature, Cowden syndrome has been associated with breast cancer, thyroid cancer, endometrial cancer and a very small percentage of melanomas. However, this is the first report of Cowden syndrome that has been diagnosed after an early-onset superficial spreading melanoma.

Development of a novel diagnostic model integrating microRNAs and GALAD for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Biomark Med)
The nomogram had an AUC of 0.977 and proved clinically useful. The GALADM model, combining miRNA7 with the GALAD model, surpasses the original GALAD model, enabling early-stage and AFP-negative HCC diagnosis.

Enhanced oral nanomedicine utilizing biomineralized oncolytic virus for synergistic gastrointestinal cancer therapy. (PubMed, Mater Today Bio)
By inducing synergistic cell death and immune activation, this strategy provides a foundation for clinical translation and identifies novel molecular targets for future investigation. Our findings underscore the feasibility of engineered oral OV formulations to improve treatment outcomes in intestinal malignancies.

Intratumoral microbiota as prognostic biomarkers in gastrointestinal cancers. (PubMed, Ann Med Surg (Lond))
Standardizing sampling, sequencing, and analytical methodologies remains a critical challenge. The incorporation of microbiome profiling into diagnostic and registry systems could enable routine use of intratumoral microbial signatures as prognostic biomarkers, paving the way toward microbiome-informed precision oncology.
