Radiotherapy plus CAR-T cell therapy to date: A note for cautions optimism?

Radiotherapy (RT) is a traditional therapeutic regime that focuses on ionizing radiation, however, RT maintains largely palliative due to radioresistance. Factors such as hypoxia, the radiosensitivity of immune cells, and cancer stem cells (CSCs) all come into play in influencing the significant impact of radioresistance in the irradiated tumor microenvironment (TME). Due to the substantial advances in the treatment of malignant tumors, a promising approach is the genetically modified T cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to eliminate solid tumors. Moreover, CAR-T cells targeting CSC-

Targeted Therapies in Adult B-Cell Malignancies.

B-lymphocytes are programmed for the production of immunoglobulin (Ig) after antigen presentation, in the context of T-lymphocyte control within lymphoid organs. During this differentiation/activation process, B-lymphocytes exhibit different restricted or common surface markers, activation of cellular pathways that regulate cell cycle, metabolism, proteasome activity, and protein synthesis. All molecules involved in these different cellular mechanisms are potent therapeutic targets. Nowadays, due to the progress of the biology, more and more targeted drugs are identified, a situation that is c

Looking for the Holy Grail-Drug Candidates for Glioblastoma Multiforme Chemotherapy.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the deadliest and the most heterogeneous brain cancer. The median survival time of GBM patients is approximately 8 to 15 months after initial diagnosis. GBM development is determined by numerous signaling pathways and is considered one of the most challenging and complicated-to-treat cancer types. Standard GBM therapy consist of surgery followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and combined treatment. Current standard of care (SOC) does not offer a significant chance for GBM patients to combat cancer, and the selection of available drugs is limited. For almost

MET Signaling Pathways, Resistance Mechanisms, and Opportunities for Target Therapies.

The MET gene, known as MET proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase, was first identified to induce tumor cell migration, invasion, and proliferation/survival through canonical RAS-CDC42-PAK-Rho kinase, RAS-MAPK, PI3K-AKT-mTOR, and β-catenin signaling pathways, and its driver mutations, such as MET gene amplification (METamp) and the exon 14 skipping alterations (METex14), activate cell transformation, cancer progression, and worse patient prognosis, principally in lung cancer through the overactivation of their own oncogenic and MET parallel signaling pathways. Because of this, MET driver alte

Emerging role of low-frequency somatic mutations in cancer relapse: from early detection to precision oncology.

Somatic mutations with low variant allele frequencies offer a highly sensitive lens for detecting cancer relapse driven by diverse causes, including clonal evolution and therapy resistance. Advances in next-generation sequencing have enabled robust subclonal variant identification that typically fall below conventional detection limits, supporting a comprehensive understanding of individual molecular profiles that can lead to relapse. These low-level alterations frequently emerge before clinical or radiological relapse and can inform response-adaptive treatment decisions. This review integrate
