Targeting cancer-cell mitochondria and metabolism to improve radiotherapy response

Emma McCann et al.

Summary: Radiotherapy is a common treatment for cancer, but radioresistance remains a major clinical challenge as tumors develop adaptive responses to radiation-induced damage by altering cellular processes. Mitochondria play a crucial role in regulating the radiation response in tumors.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

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.

Mutational signatures in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from eight countries with varying incidence

Sarah Moody et al.

Summary: The incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma varies significantly across different geographical regions, and known risk factors cannot fully explain the variation. Research indicates no specific mutational signature indicative of an exogenous exposure that could explain the differences in incidence, with APOBEC activation being a crucial step in ESCC tumor development.

Pathological complete response after neoadjuvant treatment determines survival in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients (NEOCRTEC5010)

Jianfei Shen et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that pCR after nCRT is an important prognostic indicator of OS and DFS in patients with ESCC. Additionally, lymph-node status plays a significant role in the prognostic evaluation of esophageal cancer patients.

The Evolving Genomic Landscape of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Under Chemoradiotherapy

Hidenari Hirata et al.

Summary: A study sequencing 52 tumor samples from 33 ESCC patients who received radiotherapy combined with 5-fluorouracil/platinum revealed the impact of chemoradiotherapy on clonal evolution, with MYC gain potentially serving as a marker for therapy resistance. The findings enhance understanding of therapeutic resistance and support the rationale for precision chemoradiotherapy.

Radiotherapy is associated with a deletion signature that contributes to poor outcomes in patients with cancer

Emre Kocakavuk et al.

Summary: Ionizing radiation induces DNA damage and increases small and large deletions in tumor genomes. Effective repair of radiation-induced DNA damage is associated with worse clinical outcomes, and these genomic changes can be used to predict sensitivity to radiation therapy in recurrent cancer.

Utility of ctDNA in predicting response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and prognosis assessment in locally advanced rectal cancer: A prospective cohort study

Yaqi Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that combining ctDNA with MRI can better predict the response of LARC patients to nCRT and help stratify high-risk patients. Therefore, ctDNA may assist MRI in more accurate efficacy prediction.

Esophageal cancer: Epidemiology, risk factors and screening

Jiang Li et al.

Summary: Esophageal cancer is a common cancer globally, with higher incidence rates in China, particularly in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The overall incidence rate of esophageal cancer is decreasing worldwide, influenced by factors such as regional economic development and dietary habits. Early diagnosis and screening can reduce the incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer.

Elevated HNF1A expression promotes radiation-resistance via driving PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells

Naiyi Zou et al.

Summary: The study indicates that overexpression of HNF1A promotes cell proliferation and invasion while making ESCC cells more radiation-resistant. Additionally, HNF1A regulates key proteins to facilitate transition from radiation-induced G0/G1 phase arrest to S phase, and decrease radiation-induced apoptosis.
