Case Report: Novel molecular characterization of rare primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient completed 6 months of adjuvant mFOLFOX6, as recommended in the MAC-colon cancer guidelines...At 4 months after the last systemic therapy, the patient's biomarkers were rising, matching radiological local, ovarian, and pleural recurrences, which were histologically confirmed. Since there are no established guidelines for MAC-RP, our team is the first to apply cutting-edge cancer technologies to inform future clinical decisions and molecular tumor board discussions and to compare the genomic distance of MAC-RP with that of other bladder or colorectal origin sites.

SIAH2-WNK1 Signaling Drives Glycolytic Metabolism and Therapeutic Resistance in Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
CAF exposure enhanced SIAH2 expression, CSC spheroid growth, and resistance to fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy, whereas SIAH2 depletion effectively abrogated these effects. Collectively, these findings identify the SIAH2/WNK1 axis as a central metabolic regulator linking glycolysis, CSC maintenance, and microenvironment-driven therapy resistance in CRC, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.

Conversational AI-Enabled Precision Oncology Reveals Context-Dependent MAPK Pathway Alterations in Hispanic/Latino and Non-Hispanic White Colorectal Cancer Stratified by Age and FOLFOX Exposure. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Although MAPK alterations are pervasive in CRC, their distribution varies meaningfully by ancestry, age, and treatment exposure. These findings highlight NF1, MAPK3, RPS6KA4, and PDGFRB as potential biomarkers in EOCRC and H/L patients, supporting the need for ancestry-aware precision oncology approaches.

Prognostic Impact of RTK-RAS Alterations in FOLFOX-Treated Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Revealed by Artificial Intelligence-Driven Precision Oncology. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
RTK-RAS pathway alterations demonstrate strong age-, ancestry-, and treatment-specific prognostic effects and may serve as precision biomarkers of differential chemotherapy response. AI-enabled analytics substantially accelerated integrative biomarker discovery, supporting their utility for advancing precision oncology in EOCRC.

HER2 reassessment triggered by comprehensive genomic profiling reveals a therapeutic opportunity in refractory gastric cancer: a case report. (PubMed, Int Cancer Conf J)
Based on this finding, the patient was treated with trastuzumab plus FOLFOX followed by trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), achieving a durable response...It also illustrates the potential role of CGP in identifying overlooked therapeutic targets and guiding subsequent treatment decisions in gastric cancer. CGP may serve as a useful adjunct to conventional diagnostics, particularly when initial testing is inconclusive or based on metastatic tissue.

The Impact of 5-HTTLPR Polymorphism on Depression and Lymphocyte Changes in Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing FOLFOX Chemotherapy. (PubMed, Psychiatry Investig)
Changes in the percentage of CD4+ cells and CD16/56+ cells under depression were moderated by 5-HTTLPR alleles among CRC patients undergoing FOLFOX chemotherapy, suggesting a gene-environment interaction. Further research on the role of 5-HTTLPR in the immune system under depression among CRC patients is warranted.
