A new oxidative stress-related lncRNA signature predicts the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
High-risk patients were found to be more sensitive to treatment drugs ABT.263, AZD.0530, gefitinib, imatinib, PAC.1, and shikonin. The predictive model we constructed can independently predict the prognosis of patients with CRC. Further experimental validation and mechanistic studies are warranted to elucidate the precise role of OS-related lncRNAs in CRC pathogenesis.

Intra-abdominal Desmoid Tumors Mimicking Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Recurrence: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
We report a case of a 60-year-old male who developed intra-abdominal desmoid tumors five years after undergoing laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS) for gastric GIST, followed by adjuvant imatinib therapy...Histopathological confirmation remains crucial for accurate diagnosis. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for symptomatic desmoid tumors, but given their high recurrence rate, long-term follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for optimal management.

Cost Variation and Affordability of Oral Targeted Cancer Therapy in India: Comparison of Branded and Janaushadhi Products. (PubMed, Cureus)
Percentage cost variation ranged from 8% (Bosutinib) to 14,774.74% (Midostaurin), with corresponding cost ratios up to 148.75...Absolute savings versus median branded costs ranged from ₹2,968 (Dasatinib) to ₹25,270 (Lapatinib), while percentage savings ranged from 58.89% (Dasatinib) to 91.32% (Imatinib)...However, limited PMBJP coverage restricts their overall benefit. Expanding Janaushadhi availability, improving price regulation, and encouraging rational prescribing are crucial to ensure equitable access to targeted cancer therapies in India.

Advances in Targeting BCR-ABLT315I Mutation with Imatinib Derivatives and Hybrid Anti-Leukemic Molecules. (PubMed, Molecules)
Combination strategies, such as vorinostat with ponatinib, provide complementary therapeutic avenues...Hybrid molecules derived from approved TKIs, including GNF-7, olverembatinib, and HG-7-85-01, exemplify rational design trends that balance efficacy with improved safety. Molecular modeling continues to deepen understanding of ligand engagement within the T315I-mutated active site, supporting the development of next-generation inhibitors. In this review, we summarized recent progress in the design, optimization, and biological evaluation of small molecules targeting the BCR-ABLT315I mutation.

Macrocytosis as an Early Pharmacodynamic Marker of Imatinib Efficacy in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Patients with conditions that could confound MCV (hydroxyurea exposure, megaloblastic anemia, hypothyroidism, chronic liver disease, alcoholism) were excluded. MCV elevation during imatinib therapy is associated with deeper molecular response and reduced need for treatment modification. MCV dynamics may serve as an inexpensive pharmacodynamic marker to support risk assessment and guide monitoring in chronic-phase CML.

Targeted Therapy for a Rare PDGFRB-Rearranged Myeloproliferative Neoplasm: A Case Report. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
This allowed for targeted therapy with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), leading to molecular remission monitored by RT-qPCR. This case highlights how a multidisciplinary approach can identify atypical transcripts in MPN, guiding targeted therapy with TK inhibitors, thus resulting in effective treatment and molecular remission.

Clinicopathological features of PDGFRA D842Y-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumors: insights from four cases. (PubMed, Int Cancer Conf J)
The remaining patient had an unresectable tumor and received tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy; however, sequential treatment with imatinib and sunitinib was clinically ineffective. However, their clinical behavior differs: D842Y-mutant GISTs consistently present as large, hypervascular tumors associated with acute complications. The therapeutic efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains unclear, underscoring the need for further case accumulation to better define the clinical course and determine optimal treatment strategies for this rare subtype.

Imatinib-induced rhabdomyolysis: A case report. (PubMed, Leuk Res Rep)
Imatinib and rosuvastatin were discontinued, and the patient was managed with intravenous fluids and supportive care. This case represents one of the most severe reported instances of imatinib-induced rhabdomyolysis. Early recognition and discontinuation are essential to prevent life-threatening sequelae.
