Genomic divergence between matched primary and metastatic tumors across cancer types: a pan-cancer analysis of 5,692 samples. (PubMed, Expert Rev Anticancer Ther)
Compared with primary tumors, metastatic tumors demonstrated small but consistent genomic differences. These findings varied across cancer types and may reflect changes associated with the evolutionary transition from primary to metastatic disease.

Fibrinogen alpha and beta chains as non-invasive predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma progression. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Their consistent downregulation across different stages of HCC and their linkage to the tumor microenvironment underscore their potential role in HCC pathogenesis. These insights warrant further investigation and may contribute to the development of more effective diagnostic tools.

PROX1 Expression Is Significantly Associated With ERG Expression and the TMPRSS2-ERG Fusion Gene in Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Anticancer Res)
PROX1 expression is significantly associated with ERG expression and TMPRSS2-ERG fusion status in prostate cancer. These findings reinforce the role of PROX1 as an early marker and potential mediator of lineage plasticity. Targeting PROX1 or its regulatory pathways may offer a novel therapeutic strategy to mitigate plasticity-driven progression and treatment resistance in TMPRSS2-ERG fusion-positive prostate cancer.

Proteomic Profiling Reveals TPR and FGA as Predictive Serum Biomarkers of Relapse to First- and Second-Generation EGFR-TKIs in Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
The findings indicated that TPR and FGA exhibited good diagnostic performance, with AUCs of 0.946 (p = 0.002; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84-1.05) and 0.809 (p = 0.034; 95% CI, 0.65-0.97), respectively. Our results suggest that the TPR and FGA levels are potential predictors of post-EGFR-TKI treatment relapse.

A deep learning model for preoperative risk stratification of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma based on genomic predictors of liver metastasis. (PubMed, Eur J Cancer)
PanScore is a validated deep learning model trained on genomic features that stratifies PDAC patients-particularly those with resectable disease- into biologically and prognostically distinct risk groups. It may inform personalized treatment decision-making beyond conventional staging.

Sensitive Detection of Plasma Fibrinogen Chain A mRNA in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Semi-Nested RT-PCR. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
FGA mRNA alone provides moderate diagnostic utility but substantially improves accuracy when combined with AFP, especially in low-AFP cases. This multi-biomarker approach holds promise for improving HCC detection and warrants further validation in larger cohorts.

Fibrinogen Alpha Chain as a Potential Serum Biomarker for Predicting Response to Cisplatin and Gemcitabine Doublet Chemotherapy in Lung Adenocarcinoma: Integrative Transcriptome and Proteome Analyses. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Moreover, FGA knockdown in A549 cells resulted in resistance to the doublet regimen. Our findings indicate that FGA is a tissue-specific serum protein that may function as a blood-based biomarker to predict the response of patients with lung ADC to cisplatin plus gemcitabine chemotherapy.

Multiple metachronous foveolar-type gastric adenomas in a Helicobacter pylori-naïve patient with long-term use of a proton pump inhibitor: a case report. (PubMed, Gastric Cancer)
To our best knowledge, this is the first report of potentially PPI-associated multiple metachronous FGAs in an Hp-naïve patient. Here we report a case of multiple foveolar-type gastric adenomas with rapid metachronous recurrences during long-term use of a proton pump inhibitor in Helicobacter pylori-naïve patient.

FGA influences invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma through the PI3K/AKT pathway. (PubMed, Aging (Albany NY))
In a mouse model of metastatic tumors, overexpression of FGA restricted the spread of tumor cells. In conclusion, FGA exhibits an inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis, providing new insights for the treatment of advanced HCC metastatic tumors.
