MORPHEUS-Lung: biomarkers and clinical response to atezolizumab + bevacizumab + stereotactic body radiotherapy in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
These results suggest that activation of T cells and macrophages are associated with a favorable clinical response to atezolizumab + bevacizumab + SBRT. Moreover, CD8 TRM, CD8 exhausted T cells, and CXCL10+ macrophages may serve as potential biomarkers of response to atezolizumab + bevacizumab + SBRT treatment and potentially aid in tailored, precision medicine for individual patients.

A ferroptosis-based intelligent nanoplatform with chemo-sonodynamic therapy carrying oxygen for improving tumor suppression and antitumor immunity. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
Docetaxel (DTX) in nanoparticles led to the excellent apoptosis of A549 cells...Further, the nanoparticles showed a strong immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect, modulating the number of T cells and dendritic cells in tumor-bearing mice. In summary, the proposed therapeutic strategy based on SDT and ferroptosis holds promising potential for synergistic treatment of lung cancer in future clinical applications.

A Case of Esophagogastric Junction Cancer Treated with Perioperative Nivolumab Therapy (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus S-1 regimen was administered, resulting in stable disease(SD)...The patient continued adjuvant nivolumab therapy postoperatively and remained disease-free. This case highlights the potential role of perioperative immunotherapy with nivolumab in MSI-H EGJ cancers and the promise of personalized treatment strategies.

PHERGain-2 shows meaningful HRQoL preservation, expected HP/T-DM1 toxicity, and an outstanding pCR rate comparable with standard chemotherapy plus HP regimens in this patient population.

Taxane chemotherapy promotes response to TIM-3 checkpoint blockade via STING-mediated ER stress and HMGB1 secretion. (PubMed, Cell Rep Med)
Here, we show that the release of HMGB1 by tumor cells is required for the combinatorial efficacy with TIM-3 blockade observed with paclitaxel, docetaxel, fluorouracil, and irradiation. Instead, STING activation promotes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and lysosomal exocytosis, driving HMGB1 secretion. Thus, non-canonical STING signaling in response to taxanes can promote the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy.

HER2 and FOLR1 Expression in Mesonephric and Mesonephric-Like Adenocarcinomas in the Gynecologic Tract. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), which targets folate receptor-1 (FOLR1), is FDA-approved for platinum-resistant tubo-ovarian cancers with ≥75% moderate/strong staining, and emerging studies show meaningful responses to MIRV combination therapy even at lower FOLR1 expression. FOLR1 met current MIRV treatment criteria in one case, while ten others showed expression ranging from 5% to 70%. Although most tumors did not meet current biomarker thresholds for Trastuzumab or MIRV monotherapy, detectable expression supports exploring anti-HER2 T-Dxd and MIRV combination treatments in selected MA/MLA cases.

GUTK induces apoptosis in reactivating quiescent prostate cancer cells via Aurora A-mediated stabilization of SOD2. (PubMed, iScience)
In orthotopic and xenograft prostate tumor models, GUTK combined with docetaxel significantly inhibits tumor growth and suppresses post-chemotherapy recurrence without evident toxicity. These findings identify GUTK as a potential therapeutic agent targeting reactivating quiescent PCa cells and highlight the Aurora A-SOD2 axis as a promising pathway for preventing PCa recurrence.
