Incidence, Risk Factors, and Management of Radiotherapy-Related Skin Toxicity in Rectoanal Cancer Patients: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (PubMed, J Gastrointest Cancer)
Skin toxicity is common in rectoanal cancer radiotherapy and linked to tumor, treatment, and patient factors. Optimized techniques (e.g., VMAT) combined with spray-type protectants enable precision management, improving outcomes.

Amifostine-Iron Nanoparacrystalline for Tumor-Selective Immunogenic Ferroptosis. (PubMed, Nano Lett)
Conversely, low ALP expression in tumor cells cannot realize effective cytoprotection, causing AFe-NPC to induce immunogenic ferroptosis. AFe-NPC-induced ferroptosis can boost CD8+ T cell-mediated systemic anticancer immunity and synergize with immune checkpoint blockade to eradicate primary and metastatic tumors.

Protective role of black garlic water extract in kidney injury induced by cisplatin in mice. (PubMed, BMC Complement Med Ther)
Black garlic extract confers protection against cisplatin-induced AKI by enhancing renal antioxidant defenses and mitigating oxidative stress-related damage. These findings support its potential as a complementary approach for preventing nephrotoxicity during cisplatin therapy.

Advancing cancer radiotherapy: Harnessing radiosensitizers and nanotechnology for enhanced tumor control. (PubMed, Int J Pharm X)
Radioprotectors like antioxidants and amifostine safeguard normal tissues...Key findings highlight nanotechnology's role in enhancing radiosensitization via dose enhancement factors and synergistic therapies. Implications include personalized treatments tailored to tumor biology, the reduction of radioresistance through precision medicine and data-driven strategies, and ultimately, the improvement of radiotherapy efficacy and patient outcomes.

Amifostine and melatonin attenuate radiation-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrotic remodeling in the vocal folds and subglottic glands of rats. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
Despite these structural improvements, mRNA levels of AQP5, AMY1, and hyaluronic acid synthase remained unchanged, suggesting that functional decline had not yet fully manifested at this early stage. These findings indicate that amifostine and melatonin provide partial radioprotection against acute fibrotic and structural damage in laryngeal tissues, supporting their potential as adjunctive agents for preserving vocal and mucosal functions during radiotherapy.

Inhibition of SLC25A10 promotes cellular senescence and impedes hepatocellular carcinoma progression. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
SLC25A10 promotes HCC progression by suppressing cellular senescence. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of SLC25A10 triggers tumor suppression through HMGB1-mediated SASP signaling, positioning SLC25A10 as a promising therapeutic target for HCC intervention.

Mechanisms of cancer-induced neurophysiological dysfunction and therapeutic strategies. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Management strategies incorporate neuroprotective agents (e.g., amifostine), cognitive rehabilitation, and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques...A multidisciplinary and anticipatory approach is essential for preserving neurological function and enhancing quality of life across the cancer continuum. Advances in diagnostics and therapeutics are reshaping the integration of neurophysiology within comprehensive cancer care.

Protective Effects of Dexmedetomidine and Amifostine Against Radiotherapy-Induced Kidney Injury. (PubMed, Life (Basel))
In contrast, there was a decrease in necrotic tubules, degenerative Bowman's capsules, and the levels of MDA, Cleaved Caspase-3, and 8-OHdG in the amifostine and dexmedetomidine 100 µg/kg and 200 µg/kg treatment groups (p ≤ 0.05). Alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonists exhibit protective effects against kidney injury induced in association with x-irradiation by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Suppression of MRPL23 induces cellular senescence in hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting HMGB1. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Finally, we confirmed that MRPL23 regulated cellular senescence by targeting HMGB1 using the inhibitor NecroX-7. These findings laid the foundation for developing potential therapies for HCC by inhibiting MRPL23 or inducing senescence.
