Organoid platinum-resistance model identifies KRT17 as a biomarker of targeted therapy in ovarian cancer. (PubMed, iScience)
To study resistance mechanisms, we developed the organoid drug resistance assay (ODR-test) with patient-derived organoids from our ovarian cancer biobank and identified sustained phenotypic reprogramming and cellular plasticity of organoids under carboplatin pressure as a conserved mechanism irrespective of the basal resistance level. Additionally, we found that KRT17 expression status (K-score) is a significant negative prognostic histopathological biomarker in a large cohort (N = 384) of patients with advanced HGSOC. In organoids, increased KRT17 levels enhanced sensitivity to PI3K/Akt inhibitors alpelisib and afuresertib, highlighting the potential of KRT17 as a stratification biomarker for targeted therapies.

Integrative analysis identifies PIGK as an oncogenic glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase subunit with prognostic, immunological, and therapeutic relevance in head and neck cancer. (PubMed, Int J Med Sci)
PIGK functions as a potential oncogenic driver in HNC with prognostic and therapeutic relevance. Its association with FAM20C, taxane response, and modulation of fibroblast activation provides insights into PIGK-mediated oncogenesis and may inform patient stratification strategies.

Expert opinion on the management of anemia in prostate cancer patients receiving PARP inhibitors. (PubMed, Can Urol Assoc J)
As the use of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs), with or without docetaxel, prior to the development of castration-resistant disease is increasing, the number of subsequent therapy options for mCRPC is limited.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are one treatment option approved in Canada for patients with mCRPC and mutations in BRCA1/BRCA2 or other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes...This can be difficult to manage in mCRPC, as common disease and patient characteristics, as well as prior therapy, also contribute to an increased risk of anemia. Appropriate management of anemia is important for maintaining quality of life; however, there is a paucity of data and guidelines to inform clinicians on how to best prevent and manage anemia associated with PARP inhibitor use in mCRPC.This narrative review and expert opinion provides key strategies for managing anemia related to PARP inhibitor use in mCRPC through prevention, monitoring, and supportive care.

Clinical efficacy and influencing factors of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in the treatment of sinonasal cancer. (PubMed, Am J Cancer Res)
IMRT combined with docetaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy significantly improves the prognosis of advanced SNC. Treatment modality, patient age, tumor differentiation, lymph node status, and molecular markers are all independent prognostic factors, indicating the potential for individualized treatment strategies under comprehensive assessment.

Letrozole for hormone receptor-positive low-grade ovarian cancer: Preliminary toxicity results of a phase III trial. (PubMed, Tumori)
Early findings suggest letrozole is well tolerated and may represent a viable therapeutic option for hormone receptor-positive LGSCO. Ongoing molecular and clinical analyses will clarify its role in this rare subtype.

Multimodal analysis reveals potential association of CDH13 with endothelial cells and its overexpression in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Eur J Med Res)
CDH13 is highly expressed in HCC and may promote angiogenesis, immune evasion, and metabolic reprogramming via the FOXA1-CDH13 axis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target.
