Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The incidence of CRC has slowed down, but it is shifting to a younger age, advanced stage, and left colon/rectum. Mortality from CRC has declined overall, but increased in individuals younger than 50 years and Native Americans younger than 65 years. Uncovering the reasons for rising incidence and improving access to screening and treatment are crucial in combating CRC.

Stimuli-Responsive Multifunctional Nanomedicine for Enhanced Glioblastoma Chemotherapy Augments Multistage Blood-to-Brain Trafficking and Tumor Targeting

Claudia Martins et al.

Summary: Report the development of hypothesis-driven stimuli-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) for glioblastoma (GBM) therapy. These NPs have multifunctional features that overcome the insufficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) trafficking and lack of GBM targeting, two major challenges in anti-GBM treatments. In preclinical studies, the stimuli-responsive NPs effectively targeted GBM cells, enhanced cell uptake, increased cytotoxicity, improved BBB permeability, and demonstrated antitumor efficacy in GBM models.

Clinical implication of tissue carcinoembryonic antigen expression in association with serum carcinoembryonic antigen in colorectal cancer

Abdulmohsin Fawzi Aldilaijan et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) expression in tumor tissues of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The study found that high expression of CEA was significantly associated with poorer disease-free survival and overall survival rates. High-intensity t-CEA was identified as an important prognostic factor in CRC, independent of serum CEA, and can complement the use of serum CEA in predicting survival outcomes after CRC resection.

Clinical Value of Consensus Molecular Subtypes in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Sanne ten Hoorn et al.

Summary: The CMS classification system has potential clinical value in predicting prognosis and treatment response in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. In local disease, CMS4 tumors have worse overall survival, while in metastatic disease, CMS1 tumors consistently have worse survival. Adjuvant chemotherapy is most beneficial for CMS2 and CMS3 tumors in stage II and III CRC, while it is not effective in CMS4 tumors.

Mechanism of acquired 5FU resistance and strategy for overcoming 5FU resistance focusing on 5FU metabolism in colon cancer cell lines

Tomonari Suetsugu et al.

Summary: Fluorouracil (5FU) is converted to its active metabolite fluoro-deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) through different pathways in different cells, contributing to varying mechanisms of resistance. When overcoming 5FU resistance, both the synthesized amount of FdUMP and sensitivity to FdUMP should be taken into consideration.

Tumour immune microenvironment biomarkers predicting cytotoxic chemotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer

Kate Wilkinson et al.

Summary: The immune landscape within and around tumors plays a crucial role in cancer development and response to therapy in colorectal cancer. Studies have shown that a type 1 adaptive immune response in the tumor immune microenvironment is associated with better prognosis. Efforts are needed to develop predictive biomarkers rather than prognostic ones to improve patient outcomes, especially in guiding cytotoxic chemotherapy use which remains the standard of care. Immune markers have the potential to serve as useful predictive biomarkers but are currently under-reported.

Metastatic heterogeneity of the consensus molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer

Peter W. Eide et al.

Summary: Gene expression-based subtypes of colorectal cancer have clinical significance, but the representativeness of primary tumors and consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) for metastatic cancers remains unclear. Metastases exhibit decreased CMS1/CMS3 signals and increased CMS4 signals, influenced by the microenvironment. The majority of classified metastases are CMS2 or CMS4, with subtype switching and inter-metastatic CMS heterogeneity being common.

Cytotoxicity of targeted PLGA nanoparticles: a systematic review

Hock Ing Chiu et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in nanotechnology have significantly advanced the development of drug delivery systems in nanomedicine, with a focus on PLGA nanoparticles. However, concerns remain regarding their efficacy against cancer cells and toxicity to normal cells. This systematic review suggests that smaller PLGA nanoparticles exhibit higher cytotoxic potency, with sizes predominantly below 300 nm and zeta potentials around 20 mV. Comprehensive evaluations involving pharmacokinetic, toxicokinetic, in vivo and in vitro tests are needed to fully understand the potential of PLGA nanoparticles for cancer treatment.
