Concomitant RAS and BRAF V600E Mutations in Unresectable Metastatic CRC: A Case of Long-term Survival. (PubMed, J Anus Rectum Colon)
Moreover, reports on the long-term survival of patients with unresectable mCRC with concurrent mutations are lacking. The present study reports a rare case of long-term survival of over 39 months in a patient with mCRC harboring both RAS and BRAF V600E mutations, where chemotherapy alone was effective without surgical resection of the primary or metastatic lesions.

The role of PAQR3 in cancer progression - Molecular regulation, signaling pathways, and clinical implications: A review. (PubMed, Biomol Biomed)
Progesterone and adiponectin receptor 3 (PAQR3) is a Golgi-localized seven-transmembrane protein that anchors rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma kinase (Raf) and suppresses rat sarcoma/rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK) signaling, thereby influencing cellular proliferation, differentiation, and metastasis...These effects are modulated by upstream regulators, including microRNA-543 (miR-543), circular RNA 0043280/microRNA-203a-3p (circ_0043280/miR-203a-3p), microRNA-15b (miR-15b), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR), autophagy-related 7 (ATG7), and damage-specific DNA binding protein 2 (DDB2). In conclusion, PAQR3 functions as a tumor suppressor and holds potential as a prognostic biomarker. Targeting PAQR3-related pathways may provide new therapeutic opportunities.

Protein kinase-related tumors in the pediatric population : Updated review on an emerging group with emphasis on the more rarely involved kinases. (PubMed, Pathologie (Heidelb))
This review provides updates to understand the currently known spectrum of PK-related lesions, with emphasis on those occurring more rarely, to aid proper diagnoses and treatment. The aim is to contribute to a better holistic classification.

Fibrosarcoma Originating from the Pleura in Cotton-Top Tamarin [Oedipomidas (Saguinus) oedipus, Linnaeus 1758]. (PubMed, Animals (Basel))
A firm structure was attached to the pleura in the chest cavity and was assessed as a primary tumor without obvious metastasis. Histologically, the mass showed heterogenicity with immunohistochemistry (IHC) reactivity to vimentin, suggesting a diagnosis of fibrosarcoma of mesenchymal origin.

ERM Inhibition Confers Ferroptosis Resistance through ROS-Induced NRF2 Signaling. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Here, ERM proteins are identified as modulators of erastin-induced ferroptosis...Notably, other pro-oxidants similarly attenuate ferroptosis at appropriate concentrations. Together, these results establish ERM proteins as regulators of ferroptosis and reveal an underappreciated group of ferroptosis inhibitors that engage ROS-NRF2-mediated redox-adaptation.

NTRK-rearranged soft tissue sarcoma that originated from the head and neck with a robust response to the TRK inhibitor larotrectinib. (PubMed, Int Cancer Conf J)
Concurrent comprehensive genome profiling (FoundationOne® CDx) confirmed the LMNA-NTRK1 fusion, and treatment with the TRK inhibitor larotrectinib was started. With larotrectinib treatment, the tumor shrank in size at an early stage, and the response has been maintained for > 2 years.

Primary Renal Fibrosarcoma with Massive Tumor Size and Inferior Vena Cava Extension Mimicking Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Rare Case Report. (PubMed, J Kidney Cancer VHL)
Despite aggressive pathology, no metastases were identified, and the patient remained recurrence-free at 6 months postoperatively, with chemotherapy reserved for recurrence or metastasis. This report emphasizes the diagnostic challenges, surgical complexity, and clinical significance of primary renal fibrosarcoma and highlights the importance of including it in the differential diagnosis of large renal masses with vascular involvement.

Immunohistochemical expression of ΔNp63 versus pan-p63 in normal and neoplastic feline tissues. (PubMed, Vet Pathol)
Both ΔNp63 and pan-p63 antibodies demonstrated 100% diagnostic sensitivity and negative predictive value for diagnosing feline neoplasms with squamous, basal, and urothelial epithelia or myoepithelial cells. However, ΔNp63 showed higher diagnostic specificity (100% vs. 90.6%), positive predictive value (100% vs. 80%), and overall accuracy (100% vs. 93.1%) compared with pan-p63.

Characterization of tumor-associated macrophages in canine soft tissue sarcomas reveals histotype-dependent immune microenvironments and correlations with mitotic count and histological grade. (PubMed, Vet Pathol)
In PWTs, B-cells correlated with IBA-1 and inversely correlated with CD204. These findings suggest the presence of a TIME favoring anti-tumor immunity in PWTs and a pro-tumoral TIME in myxosarcomas, reinforcing the concept that canine STS histotypes elicit distinct immune responses.

Potentiation of Electrochemotherapy by Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy in Murine Tumors with Distinct Immune Profiles. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
ECT synergizes with PD-1 blockade to potentiate local and systemic antitumor immunity, overcoming immune resistance in poorly immunogenic tumors. These findings support further clinical development of ECT in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors as a component of personalized cancer immunotherapy.
