Lastly, we evaluate its feasibility for multi-cancer early detection in population-scale screening using pooled plasma samples. The EC-SNV-Seq assay can enable highly sensitive and specific identification of low-frequency mutations, facilitating early cancer diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies.

Here, by mediating transformation on different mouse backgrounds containing mutations in Kras or other common CRC driver genes, we establish that the presence of diverse priming events in the normal mouse intestinal epithelium can change the transformation and clonal-selection landscape, permitting the fixation of strong driver mutations in Apc and Ctnnb1 that are otherwise lost due to negative selection. These findings, combined with our demonstration of mutational patterns consistent with similar priming events in human CRC, suggest that the order in which driver mutations occur in intestinal epithelium can determine whether clones are positively or negatively selected and can shape subsequent tumour development.

Molecular dynamics and NMR titration confirm the superior stability and binding affinity of the 10-mer. These results highlight how peptide length and conformation critically shape immune visibility, offering mechanistic insight for optimizing TCR-T therapies against elusive neoantigens like KRAS G12D.

We also critically examine the shortcomings of early-generation SRC inhibitors in solid tumors and highlight emerging therapeutic avenues such as next-generation inhibitors, proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) degraders, and biomarker-guided combination strategies. By connecting molecular insights with preclinical and clinical findings, this review positions SRC as a therapeutically actionable vulnerability in KRAS-driven cancers and outlines a translational framework for overcoming drug resistance.

In CEACAM5 HE, the ORR was greater with high versus low cCEA. Associations were observed between cCEA and cCEACAM5; IHC CEACAM5, cCEA, and cCEACAM5; IHC CEACAM5 and CEACAM5 mRNA, but not between IHC CEACAM5 and oncogenic drivers.

The combination treatment inhibited PI3K, AKT, and STAT3 expressions, thereby suppressing proliferation and inducing proapoptotic protein expression in HGT-1 cells. Therefore, the combination of MRN and PTX could serve as a therapeutic approach for malignant GC treatment.

While the current combined vaccination-screening strategy (termed Strategy A) will fail to eliminate HPV, extended strategies that include increased coverage of female vaccination (termed Strategy B) or additionally vaccinating boys (termed Strategy C) could lead to such elimination in Korea. The implementation of boys-only vaccination strategy induces a significant spillover benefit in reducing cervical cancer burden, which exceeds the corresponding spillover benefit achieved by implementing a girls-only vaccination strategy.

Notably, the presence of cartilage foci within a RMS-like neoplasm represents a strong clue to an underlining DICER1 alteration. The rarity of this presentation in the nasal fossa at this age, coupled with its implications for diagnosis, treatment, and familial screening, emphasizes the need for awareness of the morphology patterns of DICER1-associated neoplasms across diverse anatomical sites.

This integrative QSAR modeling and de novo design framework effectively predicted the bioactivity of KRAS inhibitors and facilitated the identification of novel candidate molecules. The findings demonstrate the utility of combining interpretable machine learning models with virtual screening to accelerate the discovery of potent KRAS inhibitors for lung cancer therapy.

Consistently, expression of IL-15 resulted in blockade of tumor progression in the TKP CCA model. These findings highlight the importance of oncogenic Kras in CCA tumor maintenance and underscore KRAS inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach for CCA.
