Probiotic-facilitated cytokine-induced killer cells suppress peritoneal carcinomatosis and liver metastasis in colorectal cancer cells. (PubMed, Int J Biol Sci)
The protein expression levels of apoptotic and DNA damage biomarkers (Bax/c-caspase 3/c-PARP/γ-H2AX), a metastatic biomarker (FAK) and three tumor proliferation and survival signaling biomarkers (JAK-STAT1, PI3K/Akt/m-TOR and Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK) exhibited identical patterns to that of a tumor immune escape biomarker (PD-L1) among the groups (all p<0.0001). The combination of probiotics and CIK cells was superior to either therapy alone in suppressing CRC cell growth, proliferation, liver metastasis and survival, mainly through downregulating cell proliferation and survival signaling pathways.

miR-449, identified through antiandrogen exposure, mitigates functional biomarkers associated with ovarian cancer risk. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Ovarian cancer cell migration was inhibited upon introducing miR-449a and miR-449b-5p mimics. Together, our study suggests a novel dual-inhibitory mechanism of flutamide on the AR pathway (AR expression suppression in addition to direct androgen antagonism) and supports its chemopreventive potential in ovarian cancer, especially for HR patients with low miR-449 expression.

A clinical study of autologous chimeric antigen receptor macrophage targeting mesothelin shows safety in ovarian cancer therapy. (PubMed, J Hematol Oncol)

Intraperitoneal infusion of CAR-macrophages has proven effective in treating intraperitoneal tumors in a preclinical model, paving the way for demonstrating proof-of-concept clinical efficacy of CAR-macrophages in the treatment of intraperitoneal tumors.

Case report: High grade serous fallopian tube carcinoma with rare NRG1 gene fusion presenting as widespread peritoneal carcinomatosis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Twenty-five additional tumors were found to demonstrate NRG1 fusions, including 20 new genes partners that had not been previously identified in gynecologic carcinomas. Overall, NRG1 fusion events are rare in ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal carcinomas, but they may carry diagnostic significance in the context of borderline/low grade serous tumors, which demonstrated exclusively CLU::NRG1 fusions, and could have important predictive implications for response to ERBB/ERBB2/ERBB3-directed therapies.

Treatment of Gastric Cancer Carcinomatosis. (PubMed, Surg Clin North Am)
If patients with synchronous GCPM have stable disease following neoadjuvant therapy, surgical intervention can be considered. Patients with positive cytology or low-volume peritoneal disease (peritoneal carcinomatosis index &lsqb;PCI] < 7) may "convert" to negative cytology or resolution of peritoneal metastases following intraperitoneal therapy and may be candidates for subsequent gastrectomy.

Krukenberg tumours: which patients should be considered for surgery?-a narrative literature review. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
Diagnostic laparoscopy could be considered before debulking surgery, to assess resectability of disease and to avoid a futile exploratory laparotomy. HIPEC after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) remains controversial, with possible survival benefit for KTs of gastric origin, particularly when peritoneal dissemination is present but the PCI is low.
