Recombinant adenoviruses expressing HPV16/18 E7 upregulate the HDAC6 and DNMT3B genes in C33A cells. (PubMed, Front Cell Infect Microbiol)
Additionally, HDAC6 and DNMT3B are emerging as important therapeutic targets for cancer. This study lays the foundation for further exploration of the oncogenic mechanisms of HPV E6/E7 and may provide new directions for the treatment of HPV-related cancers.

Surgery, chemoradiotherapy, or chemoradiation plus immunotherapy: Treatment strategies for nonmetastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
The addition of immunotherapy to CRT may be an effective first-line treatment option with favourable survival outcomes and acceptable toxicity for patients with ASCC. A prospective, randomized trial assessing the efficacy of CRT combined with a PD-1 inhibitor in patients with locally advanced ASCC is in progress.

Topical Protease Inhibitor Increases Tumor-Free and Overall Survival in CD4-Depleted Mouse Model of Anal Cancer. (PubMed, Viruses)
Transgenic K14E6/E7 mice with established high-grade anal dysplasia were treated topically at the anus with the protease inhibitor saquinavir (SQV) in the setting of CD4+ T-cell depletion to mimic immunodeficiency...The CD4-depleted mice treated with DMBA had significantly increased tumor-free survival and overall survival as well as decreased tumor-volume growth over time when treated with SQV. These data suggest that topical SQV, in the setting of CD4 depletion and high-grade anal dysplasia, can increase tumor-free and overall survival; thus, it may represent a viable topical therapy to decrease the risk of progression of anal dysplasia to anal cancer.

Prognostic implications of HIF-1α expression in anal squamous cell carcinoma treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). (PubMed, Clin Transl Radiat Oncol)
The association between higher BMI and increased HIF-1α expression may provide insights into the interplay between metabolic health and tumor biology in ASCC. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to validate these findings and explore targeted therapies focusing on HIF-1α modulation.

The recurrence of superficial angiomyxoma is previously described, but in our case no signs of recurrence were seen in follow-up for a period of 6 months. Superficial angiomyxoma should be considered as differential diagnosis with other polypoid or nodular masses in anal canal.

Management of patients with reduced dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity receiving combined 5-fluoruracil-/capecitabine-based chemoradiotherapy. (PubMed, Strahlenther Onkol)
With dose reduction in heterozygous patients, toxicity was within the range of patients without DPYD variants. Our clinical data suggest that dose-adapted 5‑FU-/capecitabine-chemoradiotherapy regimens can be safely considered in patients with heterozygous clinically relevant DPYD variants, but that the optimal dosage still needs to be determined to avoid both increased toxicity and undertreatment in a curative setting.

Immunotherapy in Gastrointestinal Cancers. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Res)
Clinical questions are arising regarding the role of immunotherapy in the adjuvant/perioperative setting, optimal timing of surgery in patients who respond to immunotherapy, and toxicities specific to patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. We outline the current landscape and future horizon of immunotherapy in gastrointestinal cancers, such as strategies to increase effectiveness of checkpoint blockade through combinations with other checkpoint inhibitors, cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted agents, radiotherapy, CAR-T therapy, and cancer vaccines.

Association of Methylated DNA Markers with High-Risk HPV Infections in Oral Site and Precancer Anal Lesions in HIV-Positive MSM. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
DNA methylation markers could be valuable in identifying high-risk HPV infections in oral samples and detecting potential precancerous lesions in anal samples. These markers may enhance the early detection and prevention strategies for HPV-related cancers in high-risk populations, with follow-up data indicating potential for monitoring lesion progression.

Identifying risk factors for anal cancer in people with HIV in Spain: a multicentre retrospective cohort study nested in the PISCIS cohort. (PubMed, Lancet HIV)
A nadir CD4 count threshold below 350 cells per μL, particularly less than 200 cells per μL, has the potential to identify people with HIV at heightened risk of developing anal cancer. Customised screening strategies that prioritise screening for individuals at high risk with this surrogate marker could maximise available resources. External validation of these data with other cohorts is required before screening recommendations can be updated.
