Philippine Clinical Practice Guidelines for Periodic Health Examination: Screening for Neoplastic Diseases. (PubMed, Acta Med Philipp)
Through a comprehensive and systematic search of the best available evidence, the Neoplastic Diseases Task Force developed 20 recommendations on screening and risk factor assessment for 10 specific questions on neoplastic diseases. These recommendations serve as guidance on screening neoplastic diseases at the primary care level.

TMEM160 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation, invasion, and immune evasion by regulating the VEGFA/PI3K/AKT signaling axis. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
In vivo, TMEM160 knockdown suppressed tumor growth, reduced TMEM160-positive and VEGFA-positive proportions, increased interferon-γ (IFN-γ) positivity, and decreased p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT ratios in tumor tissues. These findings supported that TMEM160 might affect VEGFA-associated PI3K/AKT signaling to promote malignant phenotypes in HCC, suggesting TMEM160 as a candidate molecular target for further investigation.

Integrative transcriptomic and CRISPR dependency analysis identifies hepatoblastoma-specific essential genes and actionable vulnerabilities. (PubMed, Cancer Genet)
This integrative framework combining transcriptomics, CRISPR dependency mapping, machine learning, and pharmacogenomic annotation identifies clinically relevant HB-essential genes and predictive molecular signatures for tumor identity. The derived expression-based scores provide tools for patient stratification, while drug-gene mapping highlights actionable vulnerabilities on HDAC11 with pediatric approved drugs that support rational drug repurposing strategies in hepatoblastoma.

Diagnostic accuracy of circulating long noncoding RNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, BMC Gastroenterol)
Circulating lncRNAs exhibit high diagnostic accuracy and hold significant potential as complementary biomarkers to AFP for early HCC detection. Their mechanistic roles in tumor proliferation and immune regulation underscore their value in molecular diagnosis and personalized management of liver cancer.

Unveiling the role of glycoproteins in hepatocellular carcinoma: from biomarkers to therapeutic interventions. (PubMed, 3 Biotech)
The precise mapping of glycosylation patterns made possible by emerging multi-omics and spatial technologies provides a clearer understanding of their mechanistic functions and translational significance. When combined, glycoprotein-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets offer new possibilities for early identification and individualised HCC treatment, hence representing a potential area for precision oncology.

The Role of RNA Helicase DHX33 in Tumorigenesis. (PubMed, Cell Biochem Funct)
It delves into its regulation of core cellular processes, its integration into oncogenic signaling networks, and its recently discovered functions in epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming. By consolidating this knowledge, we aim to highlight the multifaceted nature of DHX33 in cancer biology and firmly establish its potential as a viable and promising therapeutic target for future anticancer strategies.

Cell Membrane-Engineered FePDA Nanoparticles Integrate Ferroptosis and Antitumor Immunity. (PubMed, Small)
Following systemic administration, FePDA-TMOC preferentially accumulates in tumors, markedly increases CD8+ T cell infiltration, elevates pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and suppresses tumor growth and metastasis without observable systemic toxicity. By integrating ferroptosis induction with antitumor immune activation, this work highlights a rational strategy for transforming immune "cold" tumors into "hot" tumors, providing a potential nanotherapeutic approach for HCC treatment.
