Fusobacterium nucleatum promotes proliferation in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma via AHR/CYP1A1 signalling

Haisen Yin et al.

Summary: Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is involved in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by promoting cell proliferation through the AHR/CYP1A1/AKT signaling pathway. These findings contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies for ESCC.

Senescence induction dictates response to chemo- and immunotherapy in preclinical models of ovarian cancer

Stella Paffenholz et al.

Summary: This study developed a fast and flexible mouse model to mimic the metastatic patterns and treatment response features of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. The research found that senescence propensity is a predictor of therapy response and a limited senescence-associated secretory phenotype could enhance the vulnerability of tumors to both chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade.

Hallmarks of Cancer: New Dimensions

Douglas Hanahan

Summary: The concept of the hallmarks of cancer is a tool for simplifying the complexity of cancer phenotypes and genotypes into basic principles. This article proposes phenotypic plasticity and disrupted differentiation as distinct hallmark capabilities, and discusses nonmutational epigenetic reprogramming and polymorphic microbiomes as enabling characteristics. Additionally, the importance of senescent cells in the tumor microenvironment is highlighted. The integrative concept of the hallmarks of cancer helps in understanding the mechanisms of cancer development and applying that knowledge to cancer medicine.

Cancer pharmacomicrobiomics: targeting microbiota to optimise cancer therapy outcomes

Nick Lung-Ngai Ting et al.

Summary: The relationship between gut microbiota and cancer treatment is crucial for enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Microbiota can be easily modified through various strategies, such as fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, and antibiotics. Studies have identified how microbes influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cancer treatment. Clinical trials demonstrate the potential of microbiota modulation.

Fusobacterium nucleatum confers chemoresistance by modulating autophagy in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: F. nucleatum infection was found to reduce chemotherapeutic response in ESCC patients, by modulating autophagy to induce resistance against 5-FU, CDDP, and Docetaxel. Targeting F. nucleatum during chemotherapy may lead to improved therapeutic outcomes for ESCC patients.

Senescent cells in cancer therapy: why and how to remove them

Jian-Wei Zhang et al.

Summary: Cellular senescence is a stress response that can have detrimental effects during cancer therapy, including promoting tumorigenesis and therapeutic resistance. Selective removal of senescent cells is considered a promising adjuvant approach to eliminate these adverse effects.

Elimination of Radiation-Induced Senescence in the Brain Tumor Microenvironment Attenuates Glioblastoma Recurrence

Eliot Fletcher-Sananikone et al.

Summary: This study reveals that radiation therapy-induced senescence in non-neoplastic brain cells promotes the growth of glioblastoma. Senescent astrocytes secrete factors like HGF to activate Met in glioma cells. Treatment with senolytic drugs can attenuate tumor growth by selectively killing senescent astrocytes.

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.

Shiming He et al.

Summary: Esophageal cancer is a common and deadly cancer with two histological subtypes - esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Available treatment strategies include surgery, chemotherapy, and molecular targeted therapy, with poor prognosis. This review discusses the latest developments in chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for esophageal cancer.

Therapy-Induced Senescence: Opportunities to Improve Anticancer Therapy

Pataje G. Prasanna et al.

Summary: Cellular senescence is crucial in suppressing tumor growth, but radiation and chemotherapy can lead to accumulation of senescent cells in both tumor and normal tissues, potentially promoting tumor relapse and resistance to treatment. Targeting cellular senescence could be important in the fight against cancer.

Fusobacterium Nucleatum Promotes the Development of Colorectal Cancer by Activating a Cytochrome P450/Epoxyoctadecenoic Acid Axis via TLR4/Keapl/NRF2 Signaling

Cheng Kong et al.

Summary: The study uncovers a mechanism by which Fusobacterium nucleatum regulates colorectal cancer metabolism to promote EMT and metastasis through activating the TLR4/Keap1/NRF2 axis to increase CYP2J2 and 12,13-EpOME. These findings provide potential therapeutic targets for patients infected with Fusobacterium nucleatum, highlighting the clinical utility of the CYP2J2/12,13-EpOME axis in colorectal cancer.

Chirayu Mohindroo et al.

Summary: The use of antibiotics may predict outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In metastatic PDAC patients, antibiotic consumption is associated with significantly longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Antibiotics-associated modulation of the microbiome is linked to improved outcomes in metastatic PDAC patients.
