Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

In situ identification of cellular in mammalian tissue

Zhengyuan Pang et al.

Summary: This study develops a clearing-assisted tissue click chemistry (CATCH) technique for optically imaging covalent drug targets in intact mammalian tissues. The researchers find that CATCH enables specific and robust imaging of target-bound drug molecules at subcellular resolution, and it can also identify the target cell types. By using inhibitors of endocannabinoid hydrolases and monoamine oxidases, the study not only reveals distinct anatomical distributions and predominant cell targets of different drug compounds in the mouse brain, but it also uncovers unexpected differences in drug engagement across and within brain regions, reflecting rare cell types and dose-dependent target shifts that cannot be accessed by conventional methods.

Carrier-free nanodrugs for safe and effective cancer treatment

Sena Karaosmanoglu et al.

Summary: The clinical applications of many anti-cancer drugs are limited by their hydrophobic nature, leading to the development of carrier-based nanoparticles. However, these strategies often fail to efficiently encapsulate drugs and may cause toxicity problems in the long term. Therefore, elegantly designed strategies for carrier-free nanodrugs, including simple self-assembly and chemical modifications, are desired for high quality, stability, and performance.

Nanocatalytic Theranostics with Glutathione Depletion and Enhanced Reactive Oxygen Species Generation for Efficient Cancer Therapy

Lian-Hua Fu et al.

Summary: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising method for killing cancer cells by converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot). An intelligent nanocatalytic theranostics, PGC-DOX, was developed to address the limitations of endogenous H2O2 and high GSH levels in tumor cells, leading to efficient cancer therapy. The system combines H2O2 self-supply, GSH-elimination, and DOX-induced chemotherapy to effectively inhibit tumor growth with minimal side effects in vivo.

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.
