Gene silencing meets chemotherapy: A dual topical strategy using lipid nanoparticles against squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Int J Pharm)
Here, we present a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) engineered for the topical co-delivery of Bcl-2-targeting siRNA and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)...In vivo, the NLCs suppressed tumor growth in a xenograft model, reduced inflammatory markers (MPO, NAG, TNF-α), and promoted apoptosis without inducing extracellular matrix remodeling. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of dual-acting lipid nanoparticles for localized treatment of squamous cell carcinoma via combinatorial gene silencing and chemotherapy, offering a promising platform for advanced topical oncologic therapies.

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.

Molecular-clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in 163 metastatic colorectal neuroendocrine carcinomas with a comparison to colorectal adenocarcinomas. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
Eighty-three percent of CR-NEC received first-line platinum-etoposide, while 98% of CR-AC patients received first-line fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. Metastatic CR-NEC and CR-AC are clinically distinct, with NEC demonstrating more aggressive features, limited treatment effect, and worse prognosis. Although they share important driver mutations, the underlying reason for their marked clinical differences remains unclear.

Evaluation of metformin's effect on 5-fluorouracil-induced cardiotoxicity through cellular protection. (PubMed, Daru)
According to the present study results, metformin, through a reduction in oxidative stress, apoptosis, and mitochondrial malfunction, can have therapeutic potential in HCM cells toxicity induced by 5-FU.

How Can We Improve Subtyping of Colon Adenocarcinoma for Precision Oncology? Multi-Omics Consensus Clustering Reveals Immunologically Active and Therapeutically Distinct Molecular Groups. (PubMed, OMICS)
CS4 showed the highest immune infiltration, elevated tumor mutational burden, and enhanced sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil and cetuximab. This integrative multi-omics framework refines the molecular taxonomy of COAD, revealing immunologically active and therapeutically distinct subgroups. The classification not only bridges genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic regulation but also provides a practical roadmap for precision oncology by linking molecular features to potential treatment strategies.

Primary Gastric Adenocarcinoma with Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 Positivity Mimicking Gastric Metastasis from Lung Cancer: A Case Report. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by TTF-1-positive gastric tumors, which may be mistaken for metastatic lesions from lung cancer. As TTF-1 expression is not entirely specific to tissues of lung or thyroid origin, diagnosis should be based on a comprehensive evaluation of morphological and immunohistochemical findings, together with clinical information, including treatment response and disease course.

RBM15 Enhances 5-Fluorouracil Drug Sensitivity and Suppresses Gastric Cancer Progression by Modulating N6-Methyladenosine Modification of ECT2-Dependent IGF2BP3. (PubMed, Research (Wash D C))
Furthermore, animal and patient-derived organoid models revealed that RBM15 enhances the sensitivity of GC to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy in an ECT2-dependent manner. In conclusion, this study defines a novel RBM15/IGF2BP3-ECT2 signaling axis that regulates EMT and chemosensitivity in GC via m6A methylation, providing both mechanistic insights and a potential therapeutic strategy.

Association of Activating GNAS Mutations and Outcomes with Chemotherapy in Metastatic Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Ann Surg Oncol)
With systemic chemotherapy, GNAS-mutated metastatic/recurrent AAs have worse EFS despite less frequent high-risk features. Routine somatic mutation-testing of patients with AA should be considered for prognostication and possibly therapeutic decision-making.

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.
