Stage 4A Lung Adenocarcinoma with Rare EGFR Exon 21 L861Q and Exon 18 G719A Co-Mutations Showing Complete PET-CT Response to Osimertinib: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
This case demonstrates that osimertinib can achieve an early, deep, and sustainable response in patients with a rare G719A/L861Q co-mutation. Prospective evidence is necessary for rare EGFR subtypes.

Carboxymethylated β-glucan from Pichia kudriavzevii M16: structural characterization and multifunctional bioactivity. (PubMed, Folia Microbiol (Praha))
IL-1β ranged from 1341 to 3371 pg/mL, IL-6 from 169 to 280 pg/mL, IL-10 from 220 to 859 pg/mL, and TNF-α from 126 to 263 pg/mL across the tested conditions. This study is a preliminary investigation into the potential biotechnological applications of CMβ-gluM16, indicating its promise for further research.

Integrated Genomic, Structural, and Metabolomic Profiling of Freeze-Dried Postbiotic Supernatants Reveals Multi-Target Anticancer Activity Against Caco-2 Cells. (PubMed, Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins)
Metabolomic profiling using HPLC and GC-MS revealed strain-specific signatures dominated by organic acids, volatile compounds, and fatty acids associated with oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic modulation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that freeze-dried CFS exert anticancer effects through coordinated transcriptomic-independent, proteomic, and metabolomic mechanisms, highlighting their potential as multifunctional postbiotic candidates for colorectal cancer intervention.

Practical guidelines for multiple instance learning in computational pathology: how embedding choice impacts overall survival prediction. (PubMed, Front Bioinform)
Our results show that embedding choice has a substantial and consistent impact on OS prediction accuracy, robustness, and interpretability across cancer types, with domain-specific and foundation models outperforming conventional convolutional baselines. These findings provide evidence-based practical guidelines for designing robust and generalizable WSI-based survival prediction pipelines in computational pathology.

Management of locally advanced lynch syndrome rectal cancer during pregnancy with neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy: a case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient subsequently underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (50.4 Gy in 28 fractions) combined with two cycles of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CapeOx) and tislelizumab, achieving significant tumor regression (yT2N0M0). LS-associated rectal cancer during pregnancy requires individualized, multidisciplinary management. Medical termination followed by neoadjuvant immunochemoradiotherapy can optimize maternal outcomes while minimizing fetal and genetic risks.

Young onset rectal cancer (YORC): a descriptive tertiary center analysis. (PubMed, Eur J Surg Oncol)
YORC presents more often with symptoms and advanced disease (M+, N+, EMVI+), yet short-term survival in non-metastatic patients tended to parallel that of older individuals. These findings underscore the need for earlier diagnosis, tailored management, and increased clinical awareness.

Investigating the expression of CTLA-4 and CD28 genes as immune regulators in patients with colorectal polyps. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Our findings indicate that CTLA-4 and CD28 are upregulated in patients with colorectal polyps and exhibit a positive correlation in expression. The regulatory network analysis highlights KCNQ1OT1 as a potential upstream modulator of these genes via miRNA-mediated mechanisms. Moreover, the strong association between CTLA-4 and CD28 expression and immune cell infiltration underscores their potential role in immune dysregulation during the early stages of colorectal tumorigenesis. Collectively, these findings suggest that CTLA-4 and CD28 may contribute to polyp progression through modulation of the immune microenvironment.

The crotonylation reader DPF2 promotes the development and progression of colon adenocarcinoma through cell-type-specific immune regulation and metabolic reprogramming. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Its effects may involve cell-type-specific immune regulation and partial mediation through metabolic reprogramming. While the primary causal inference of this study focused on COAD, complementary single-cell and spatial transcriptomic findings from broader CRC datasets provided supportive expression-level evidence consistent with these associations.

AC067930.4/miR-375 Axis Regulates the Malignant Progression of Colon Adenocarcinoma Through the Cuproptosis-Related Gene SLC6A6. (PubMed, Cancer Manag Res)
Rescue experiments demonstrated that miR-375's regulatory role in COAD malignant progression was partly dependent on SLC6A6. Our research elucidates a cuproptosis-related ceRNA regulatory network and offers novel potential targets for COAD diagnosis and therapy of COAD.
