Renal metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract with unknown primary site: a case report and review of the literature. (PubMed, Ther Adv Urol)
The patient underwent radical nephrectomy followed by biomarker-guided FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) chemotherapy combined with camrelizumab immunotherapy, achieving a progression-free survival of approximately 7 months, accompanied by a temporary decline in tumor markers. Therapeutically, while the identified biomarker provided a rationale for precision therapy, the resulting clinical benefit was limited and transient. This suggests that the aggressive biology and spatial heterogeneity typical of CUP can attenuate the long-term efficacy of biomarker-guided interventions.

KIF7 promotes the proliferation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma by activating the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. (PubMed, Clin Exp Med)
GSCA/GDSC-based drug sensitivity prediction suggested that high KIF7 expression was associated with increased predicted sensitivity to docetaxel and bleomycin, whereas no significant association was observed for I-BET-762. Additionally, it was associated with shaping the immune microenvironment. These findings highlight KIF7 as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in ccRCC.

Integrated Evaluation of the Synergistic Antitumor Effects of Thymoquinone and Docetaxel in Ovarian Cancer Cells: Apoptosis, Oxidative Stress, and 3D Spheroid Responses. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Collectively, these in vitro findings suggest that the TQ + Dos combination produces greater cytotoxic, apoptotic, and growth-inhibitory effects than either agent alone in ovarian cancer models and is associated with alterations in apoptosis-, cell cycle-, and oxidative stress-related responses. The observation of these effects in 3D spheroid models supports further investigation of this combination in more advanced preclinical systems.

Evolving Systemic Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Pivotal Clinical Trials, Biomarker-Driven Combinations, and Practical Sequencing in the ARSI-PARP-Radioligand Era. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
In mCSPC, androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel and/or androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) improves survival, with triplet regimens favored for selected chemotherapy-fit patients with aggressive de novo disease...Ongoing trials are evaluating earlier theranostics, alpha-emitting radioligands, and biomarker-enriched combinations. An implementation-first approach that intensifies treatment when appropriate, tests early and acts on HRR results, uses PSMA PET to guide RLT, and preserves hematologic reserve may maximize access to multiple life-prolonging mechanisms.

Occult Pulmonary Adenosquamous Carcinoma Presenting With Synchronous Colonic Metastases. (PubMed, Am Surg)
Sequential adrenal resection revealed divergent squamous differentiation (p40+/CK5/6+; TTF-1-/Napsin-A-) with KRAS/MYC and NF-1 amplification, supporting a final diagnosis of pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma-an aggressive NSCLC variant comprising 0.4-4% of lung malignancies.Management and OutcomeTreatment followed evidence-based, histology-guided sequencing: concurrent carboplatin-pemetrexed chemoradiation, nivolumab upon platinum resistance, and cytotoxic salvage with docetaxel followed by vinorelbine. The patient survived 42 months from diagnosis, the clinical course was shaped by adequate tissue sampling, diagnostic challenges, and multidisciplinary histology-guided treatment acquisition.ConclusionThis case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic complexity of lung adenocarcinoma presenting with synchronous colonic metastases without a discrete parenchymal mass, compounded by intratumoral heterogeneity and phenotypic divergence across metastases. Comprehensive tissue sampling enabling serial immunohistochemical and molecular characterization, coupled with coordinated multidisciplinary management, is essential to optimize diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic sequencing in this rare and clinically challenging disease entity.
