Managing thrombosis in cancer patients.

Venous thromboembolism is a major complication in cancer patients. The basis for the strong association between cancer and thrombosis remains incompletely understood, and the optimal approaches to both the treatment and the prevention of cancer-associated thrombosis are evolving. Here we review several important topics related to cancer-associated thromboembolism, including the pathogenesis, prevention, and management of this disease. Wherever possible, we include evidence from clinical trials, including the results of recently published trials that compared direct oral anticoagulants to low-m

Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Review of Available Therapies and Clinical Scenarios Encountered in Myeloma Relapse.

Multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease with the usual disease course requiring induction therapy, autologous stem cell transplantation for eligible patients, and long-term maintenance. Risk stratification tools and cytogenetic alterations help inform individualized therapeutic choices for patients in hopes of achieving long-term remissions with preserved quality of life. Unfortunately, relapses occur at different stages of the course of the disease owing to the biological heterogeneity of the disease. Addressing relapse can be complex and challenging as there are both therapy- and patie

Immune checkpoint blockade in the treatment of malignant tumor: current statue and future strategies.

After being stagnant for decades, there has finally been a paradigm shift in the treatment of cancer with the emergence and application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The most extensively utilized ICIs are targeting the pathways involving programmed death-1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). PD-1, as an crucial immune inhibitory molecule, by and large reasons the immune checkpoint response of T cells, making tumor cells get away from immune surveillance. Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is exceptionally expressed in most cancers cells and approves n

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: 2025 Update on the Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Therapy.

Disease overviewChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent type of leukemia. It typically occurs in older patients and has a highly variable clinical course. Leukemic transformation is initiated by specific genomic alterations that interfere with the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis in clonal B-cells.DiagnosisThe diagnosis is established by blood counts, blood smears, and immunophenotyping of circulating B-lymphocytes, which identify a clonal B-cell population carrying the CD5 antigen as well as typical B-cell markers.Prognosis and stagingTwo clinical staging systems, Rai

Sjögren Disease-B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell-Targeted Therapies.

Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved disease-modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we explore the expanding field of SjD endotyping as a tool to enhance patient stratification, prognostication, and clinical decision-making. SjD endotypes driven by heightened B cell activity are linked to increased lymphoma risk. B cells play a ce

Drug repurposing in KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC: a focus on resistance mechanisms and clinical strategies.

KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has transitioned from a therapeutically problematic disease to a precision-targetable cancer, anchored by the landmark approvals of sotorasib and adagrasib. Yet despite these advances, responses remain limited in duration and multiple mechanisms of rapid adaptive resistance emerge under inhibitor pressure. These resistance mechanisms define a therapeutic vulnerability map that can be addressed by repurposing approved agents with established safety profiles. This review emphasises the current understanding of KRAS G12C biology, integrates upda

Communication between gut microbiota-derived metabolites and the tumor microenvironment.

The gut microbiota has been increasingly recognized as a critical player in maintaining human health and influencing disease development. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is pivotal in tumor development and progression, comprising immune cells, stromal elements, extracellular matrix components, and cytokines. Recent studies have highlighted the promising potential of gut microbiota-derived metabolites (e.g., short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, polyamines, and tryptophan derivatives) to reshape the TME in various ways, generating significant interest for the development of novel therapeutic st

The potential therapeutic role of extracellular vesicles in critical-size bone defects: Spring of cell-free regenerative medicine is coming.

In recent years, the incidence of critical-size bone defects has significantly increased. Critical-size bone defects seriously affect patients' motor functions and quality of life and increase the need for additional clinical treatments. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has made great progress in repairing critical-size bone defects. As one of the main components of bone tissue engineering, stem cell-based therapy is considered a potential effective strategy to regenerate bone tissues. However, there are some disadvantages including phenotypic changes, immune rejection, potential tumorigenicity,

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy in Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed solid-organ cancer amongst males worldwide. Metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a rapidly fatal end-sequelae of prostate cancer. Therapeutic options for men with mCRPC are limited and are not curative in nature. The recent development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionised the treatment of treatment-resistant haematological malignancies, and several studies are underway investigating the utility of this technology in the treatment of solid tumours. In this review, we evaluate the current treatme

A Perspective on Withania somnifera Modulating Antitumor Immunity in Targeting Prostate Cancer.

Medicinal plants serve as a lead source of bioactive compounds and have been an integral part of day-to-day life in treating various disease conditions since ancient times. Withaferin A (WFA), a bioactive ingredient of Withania somnifera, has been used for health and medicinal purposes for its adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties long before the published literature came into existence. Nearly 25% of pharmaceutical drugs are derived from medicinal plants, classified as dietary supplements. The bioactive compounds in these supplements may serve as chemotherapeutic substance

Targeted Therapies for the Evolving Molecular Landscape of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Despite considerable growth in our understanding of the heterogeneous biology and pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in recent decades, for nearly forty years, little progress was gained in the realm of novel therapeutics. Since 2017, however, nine agents have been FDA-approved for patients with AML in both the upfront and relapsed/refractory (R/R) settings. Most of these compounds function as inhibitors of key cell cycle enzymatic pathways or mediators of leukemic proliferation and survival. They have been approved both as single agents and in combination with conventional or reduce

ITF6475, a New Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibitor, Prevents Painful Neuropathy Induced by Paclitaxel.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy remains a significant side effect of cancer treatment, often requiring dose reductions or even discontinuation of therapy. Paclitaxel (PTX), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors, is particularly neurotoxic, and no effective treatment exists for paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN). Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histone and non-histone proteins, including transcription factors and cytoskeletal components. This study evaluates the HDAC6 inhibitor ITF6475 for its potential to prevent P

Immune system and bone microenvironment: rationale for targeted cancer therapies.

Osteoimmunology was coined about twenty years ago to identify a strict cross talk between bone niche and immune system both in physiological and pathological activities, including cancer. Several molecules are involved in the complex interaction between bone niche, immune and cancer cells. The Receptor Activator of NF-kB (RANK)/RANK Ligand (RANKL/Osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway plays a crucial role in bone cells/cancer interactions with subsequently immune system control failure, bone destruction, inhibition of effect and metastasis outcome. The bidirectional cross talk between bone and immune s

Glutamine and cancer: metabolism, immune microenvironment, and therapeutic targets.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in human serum, and it can provide carbon and nitrogen for biosynthesis, which is crucial for proliferating cells. Moreover, it is widely known that glutamine metabolism is reprogrammed in cancer cells. Many cancer cells undergo metabolic reprogramming targeting glutamine, increasing its uptake to meet their rapid proliferation demands. An increasing amount of study is being done on the particular glutamine metabolic pathways in cancer cells.Further investigation into the function of glutamine in immune cells is warranted given the critical role these

Immune landscape-based machine-learning-assisted subclassification, prognosis, and immunotherapy prediction for glioblastoma.

IntroductionAs a malignant brain tumor, glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by intratumor heterogeneity, a worse prognosis, and highly invasive, lethal, and refractory natures. Immunotherapy has been becoming a promising strategy to treat diverse cancers. It has been known that there are highly heterogeneous immunosuppressive microenvironments among different GBM molecular subtypes that mainly include classical (CL), mesenchymal (MES), and proneural (PN), respectively. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of immune landscapes among them is essential for identifying novel immune markers of GBM.

Immunotherapies for pediatric cancer: current landscape and future perspectives.

The advent of immunotherapy has revolutionized how we manage and treat cancer. While the majority of immunotherapy-related studies performed to date have focused on adult malignancies, a handful of these therapies have also recently found success within the pediatric space. In this review, we examine the immunotherapeutic agents that have achieved the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration for treating childhood cancers, highlighting their development, mechanisms of action, and the lessons learned from the seminal clinical trials that ultimately led to their approval. We also shine a
