Targeted Protein Degradation in Cancer: PROTACs, New Targets, and Clinical Mechanisms.

The onset of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has reshaped the entire context of targeted cancer therapy by offering a novel approach for the selective degradation of disease-causing proteins, overcoming the limitations of traditional occupancy-driven inhibition. This heterobifunctional technology recruits endogenous E3 ubiquitin ligases to mark proteins of interest (POI) for proteosomal degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Unlike conventional inhibitors, PROTACs function catalytically and can target previously "undruggable proteins", such as transcription factors, sc

Prevention and management of adverse events of novel agents in multiple myeloma: a consensus of the European Myeloma Network.

During the last few years, several new drugs have been introduced for treatment of patients with multiple myeloma, which have significantly improved the treatment outcome. All of these novel substances differ at least in part in their mode of action from similar drugs of the same drug class, or are representatives of new drug classes, and as such present with very specific side effect profiles. In this review, we summarize these adverse events, provide information on their prevention, and give practical guidance for monitoring of patients and for management of adverse events.

Cancer Pain Is Not One-Size-Fits-All: Evolving from Tradition to Precision.

Cancer pain remains a significant challenge in oncology, profoundly affecting patients' quality of life, function, and prognosis. Historically under-recognized and managed with a uniform, opioid-centric approach, cancer pain was often inadequately treated. Advances in pain assessment, multimodal analgesia, and supportive care have improved outcomes, yet traditional algorithms frequently fail to address the complex, heterogeneous nature of cancer pain. Contemporary management is shifting toward precision and personalized medicine, integrating genetic, molecular, and biomarker data with individu
