Abstract
Lung cancer's mortality is predominantly linked to post-chemotherapy recurrence, driven by the reactivation of dormant cancer cells. Despite the critical role of these reactivated cells in cancer recurrence and metastasis, the molecular mechanisms governing their therapeutic selection remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted an integrative analysis by combining PacBio single molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing with short reads Illumina RNA-seq. Our study revealed that cisplatin-induced dormant and reactivated cancer cells exhibited a noteworthy reduction in gene transcripts and alternative splicing events. Particularly, the differential alternative splicing events were found to be overlapping with the differentially expression genes and enriched in genes related to cell cycle and cell division. Utilizing ENCORI database and correlation analysis, we identified key splicing factors, including SRSF7, SRSF3, PRPF8, and HNRNPC, as well as RNA helicase such as EIF4A3, DDX39A, DDX11, and BRIP1, which were associated with the observed reduction in alternative splicing and subsequent decrease in gene expression. Our study demonstrated that lung cancer cells reduce gene transcripts through diminished alternative splicing events mediated by specific splicing factors and RNA helicase in response to the chemotherapeutic stress. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic selection and reactivation of dormant cancer cells. This discovery opens a potential avenue for the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at preventing cancer recurrence following chemotherapy.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of death in China. The current gold standard for clinical lung cancer diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of tumors, but it has the limitation for easy operation and convenient applications. Therefore, researchers are still striving to develop other tools and methods for non-invasive and rapid assessment of the health conditions of lung cancer patients. Hair, as a reflection of the metabolism of the body, is closely related to human health conditions. In principle, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can probe the major chemical compositions in the hair. However, as indicated by previous studies, there is still the challenge to make good use of FTIR spectroscopy for achieving reliable analysis of hair from cancer patients. In this study, hair samples from 82 lung cancer patients were collected and subjected to FTIR measurements and analysis, which showed the protein content in the hair is closely related to the protein content in the blood serum of patients, and the contents of protein and lipid are statistically lower in the lung cancer patients. Furthermore, we demonstrated that FTIR spectroscopy could be employed to monitor the hair of lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and confirmed that the FTIR spectra of the hair may reflect the resultant effect of the chemotherapy. As such, this work validates the way of using FTIR spectroscopy in hair analysis for the assistance of medical diagnosis of lung cancer as well as monitoring the conditions of the patients under the medical treatment.

Abstract
Metformin, as the preferred antihyperglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes, has been found to have a significant effect in inhibiting tumor growth in recent years. However, metformin alone in cancer treatment has the disadvantages of high dose concentrations and few targeted cancer types. Increasing studies have confirmed that metformin can be used in combination with conventional anticancer therapy to obtain more promising clinical benefits, which is expected to be rapidly transformed and applied in clinic. Some combination therapy strategies including metformin combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have been proven to have more significant antitumor effects and longer survival time than monotherapy. In this review, we summarize the synergistic antitumor effects and mechanisms of metformin in combination with other current conventional anticancer therapies. In addition, we update the research progress and the latest prospect of the metformin-combined application in the cancer treatment. This work could provide more evidence and future direction for the clinical application of metformin in antitumor.

Abstract
Phototherapy has garnered increasing attention as it allows for precise treatment of tumor sites with its accurate spatiotemporal control. In this study, we have successfully synthesized degradable bifunctional phototherapy agents (UCNPs@mSiO2@MPN-MC540/DOX) based on upconversion nanoparticle (UCNPs) and metal phenolic network (MPN), serving as a novel nanoplatform for multimodal tumor treatment in the near-infrared (NIR) biological window. To address the issue of low light penetration depth, the UCNPs we synthesized exhibited efficient light conversion ability under 808 nm laser irradiation to activate the photosensitizer Merocyanine 540 (MC540) for photodynamic therapy. Simultaneously, the 808 nm NIR light can also excite the MPN layer to achieve photothermal therapy for tumors. Additionally, the MPN layer possesses the capability of self-degradation under weakly acidic conditions. Within the tumor microenvironment, the MPN layer gradually degrades, facilitating the controlled release of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX), thus achieving pH-responsive drug release and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. This study provides an example of NIR-excited multimodal tumor treatment and pH-responsive drug release, offering a therapy model for precise tumor therapy.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used in clinic as a broad-spectrum chemotherapy drug, which can enhance the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by interfering tumor-related metabolize to increase H2O2 content. However, DOX can induce serious cardiomyopathy (DIC) due to its oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. Eliminating oxidative stress would create a significant opportunity for the clinical application of DOX combined with CDT. To address this issue, we introduced sodium ascorbate (AscNa), the main reason is that AscNa can be catalyzed to produce H2O2 by the abundant Fe3+ in the tumor site, thereby enhancing CDT. While the content of Fe3+ in heart tissue is relatively low, so the oxidation of AscNa had tumor specificity. Meanwhile, due to its inherent reducing properties, AscNa could also eliminate the oxidative stress generated by DOX, preventing cardiotoxicity. Due to the differences between myocardial tissue and tumor microenvironment, a novel nanomedicine was designed. MoS2 was employed as a carrier and CDT catalyst, loaded with DOX and AscNa, coating with homologous tumor cell membrane to construct an acid-responsive nanomedicine MoS2-DOX/AscNa@M (MDA@M). In tumor cells, AscNa enhances the synergistic therapy of DOX and MoS2. In cardiomyocytes, AscNa could effectively reduce the cardiomyopathy induced by DOX. Overall, this study enhanced the clinical potential of chemotherapy synergistic CDT.

Abstract
As more premenopausal patients undergo fertility preserving cancer treatments, there is an increased need for fertility counseling and ovarian sparing strategies. Many patients receive gonadotoxic chemotherapeutic agents which can put them at risk of primary ovarian insufficiency or profoundly diminished ovarian reserve. Traditionally, estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) values have been used to evaluate ovarian function but more recently, reproductive endocrinologists have been proponents of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) as a validated measure of ovarian potential. While the gold standard for fertility preservation remains oocyte cryopreservation, data suggest there may be additional interventions that can mitigate the gonadotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents. The main objectives of this focused review were to quantify the risk of primary ovarian failure associated with the most common chemotherapies used in treatment of gynecologic cancers and to evaluate and recommend potential interventions to mitigate toxic effects on ovarian function. Chemotherapeutic agents can cause direct loss of oocytes and primordial follicles as well as stromal and vascular atrophy and the extent is dependent upon mechanism of action and age of the patient. The risk of ovarian failure is the highest with alkylating agents (42.2 %), anthracyclines (<10-34 % in patients under 40 years versus 98 % in patients aged 40-49), taxanes (57.1 %) and platinum agents (50 %). Multiple trials demonstrate that gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, when administered concurrently with chemotherapy, may have protective effects, with more patients experiencing resumption of a regular menstruation pattern and recovering ovarian function more quickly post-treatment. Premenopausal patients receiving chemotherapy for the treatment of gynecologic cancers should receive adequate counseling on the potential adverse effects on their fertility. Although oocyte cryopreservation remains the gold standard for fertility preservation, there is some evidence to suggest that GNRH agonists could help maintain and preserve ovarian function and should be considered.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of gene expression, and the deregulation of their activity has been linked to the onset and progression of a variety of human malignancies. Among these miRNAs, miR-136-5p has attracted significant attention due to its diverse roles in cancer biology. Mostly, miR-136-5p is downregulated in malignancies. It could inhibit viability, proliferation, migration, invasion and promote apoptosis of tumor cells. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of miR-136-5p in different sorts of human cancers: genital tumors, head and neck tumors, tumors from the digestive and urinary systems, skin cancers, neurologic tumors, pulmonary neoplasms and other cancers by discussing its molecular mechanisms, functional roles, and impact in chemotherapies. In conclusion, miR-136-5p could be a promising new biomarker and potential clinical therapeutic target.

Abstract
Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) dramatically hindered the efficiency of standard chemotherapy. Mitochondria are highly involved in the occurrence and development of MDR; thus, inducing its malfunction will be an appealing strategy to treat MDR tumors. In this paper, a natural polysaccharides-based nanoplatform (TDTD@UA/HA micelles) with cell and mitochondria dual-targeting ability was facilely fabricated to co-deliver ursolic acid (UA) and doxorubicin (DOX) for combinatorial MDR therapy. TDTD@UA/HA micelles featured a spherical morphology, narrow size distribution (∼140 nm), as well as favorable drug co-loading capacity (DOX: 8.41 %, UA: 9.06 %). After hyaluronic acid (HA)-mediated endocytosis, the lysosomal hyaluronidase promoted the degradation of HA layer and then the positive triphenylphosphine groups were exposed, which significantly enhanced the mitochondria-accumulation of nano micelles. Subsequently, DOX and UA were specifically released into mitochondria under the trigger of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by severe mitochondrial destruction through generating ROS, exhausting mitochondrial membrane potential, and blocking energy supply, etc.; ultimately contributing to the susceptibility restoration of MCF-7/ADR cells to chemotherapeutic agents. Importantly, TDTD@UA/HA micelles performed potent anticancer efficacy without distinct toxicity on the MDR tumor-bearing nude mice model. Overall, the versatile nanomedicine represented a new therapeutic paradigm and held great promise in overcoming MDR-related cancer.

Abstract
Tumors produce a hypoxic environment that greatly influences cancer treatment, and conventional chemotherapeutic drugs cannot selectively accumulate in the tumor region because of the lack of a tumor targeting mechanism, causing increased systemic toxicities and side effects. Hence, designing and developing new nanoplatforms that combine multimodal therapeutic regimens is essential to improve tumor therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report the synthesis of ultrafine Cu nanoparticles loaded with a drug combination of cisplatin (Pt) and 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (1-MT) and externally coated with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) photosensitizer, polydopamine (PDA) and CaO2 of MIL-101(Fe) as a new nanoplatform (Cu@MIL-101@PMTPC). The nanoplatform synergistically combined chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and immunochemotherapy. The Fe3+ in MIL-101(Fe) and the surface Cu nanoparticles exhibited strong ability to consume intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby generating a Fenton-like response in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with substantial peroxidase (POD)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities. In this design, we used the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor 1-MT to overcome chemotherapy-induced immune escape phenomena including enhanced CD8+ and CD4+ T cell expression, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production, and accelerated immunogenic cell death. The targeted release of cisplatin loaded into Cu@MIL-101@PMTPC also reduced toxic side effects of chemotherapy. TCPP generated a large amount of singlet oxygen (1O2) upon specific laser irradiation to effectively kill tumor cells. CaO2 on the outer layer generated oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to ameliorate hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, enhance the PDT effect, and provide a continuous supply of H2O2 for the Fenton-like reaction. Thus, this nanocarrier platform exhibited a powerful chemodynamic, photodynamic, and immunochemotherapeutic cascade, providing a new strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The chemotherapeutic agent tegafur, a prodrug that prolongs the half-life of fluorouracil (5-FU), exerts antitumor effects against various cancers. Since tegafur is metabolized to 5-FU by CYP2A6 in the liver, the expression of CYP2A6 determines the effect of tegafur. Here, we report that the expression rhythm of Cyp2a5, a homolog of human CYP2A6, in female mice causes dosing time-dependent differences in tegafur metabolism. In the livers of female mice, CYP2A5 expression showed a circadian rhythm, peaking during the dark period. This rhythm is regulated by RORA, a core clock component, and abrogation of the CYP2A5 activity abolished the time-dependent difference in the rate of tegafur metabolism in female mice. Furthermore, administration of tegafur to mice transplanted with 4T1 breast cancer cells during the dark period suppressed increases in tumor size compared to female mice treated during the light period. Our findings reveal a novel relationship between 5-FU prodrugs and circadian clock machinery, potentially influencing antitumor effects, and contributing to the development of time-aware chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This document is a summary of the French intergroup guidelines of the management of biliary tract cancers (BTC) (intrahepatic, perihilar and distal cholangiocarcinomas, and gallbladder carcinomas) published in September 2023, available on the website of the French Society of Gastroenterology (SNFGE) (www.tncd.org). METHODS This collaborative work was conducted under the auspices of French medical and surgical societies involved in the management of BTC. Recommendations were graded in three categories (A, B and C) according to the level of scientific evidence until August 2023. RESULTS BTC diagnosis and staging is mainly based on enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and (endoscopic) ultrasound-guided biopsy. Treatment strategy depends on BTC subtype and disease stage. Surgery followed by adjuvant capecitabine is recommended for localised disease. No neoadjuvant treatment is validated to date. Cisplatin-gemcitabine chemotherapy combined to the anti-PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab is the first-line standard of care for advanced disease. Early systematic tumour molecular profiling is recommended to screen for actionable alterations (IDH1 mutations, FGFR2 rearrangements, HER2 amplification, BRAFV600E mutation, MSI/dMMR status, etc.) and guide subsequent lines of treatment. In the absence of actionable alterations, FOLFOX chemotherapy is the only second-line standard-of-care. No third-line chemotherapy standard is validated to date. CONCLUSION These guidelines are intended to provide a personalised therapeutic strategy for daily clinical practice. Each individual BTC case should be discussed by a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
Background Population-based survival studies of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have not simultaneously evaluated age at diagnosis, race and ethnicity, sex, calendar period or AML subtypes/subgroups among chemotherapy-treated patients. Methods For 28,473 chemotherapy-treated AML patients diagnosed at ages ≥20 years in population-based cancer registry areas of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (2001-2018, followed through 2019), we evaluated 1-month through 5-year relative survival (RS) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using the actuarial method in the SEER∗Stat Survival Session and overall survival (OS) using multivariable Cox regression to estimate proportional hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CI. Findings RS decreased with increasing age (20-39, 40-59, 60-74, 75-84, ≥85 years) at AML diagnosis. RS declined substantially within the first month and, except for acute promyelocytic leukemia, decreasing patterns continued thereafter for core binding factor AML, AML with antecedent condition/therapy, and all other AML. For all ages, acute promyelocytic leukemia RS stabilized after the first year. For total AML the hazard of death was significantly increased for non-Hispanic (NH)-Black (HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.12-1.24) and NH-Pacific Islander patients (HR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.11-1.55) compared with NH-White patients. In contrast, NH-Asian and Hispanic patients had similar OS to NH-White patients across all ages and most AML subgroups. Males had significantly inferior survival to females with some exceptions. Compared to 2001-2006, in 2013-2018 OS improved for all age and AML subgroups. Interpretation Chemotherapy-treated U.S. adults with AML have notable differences in survival by age, race and ethnicity, sex, calendar-year period, and AML subgroup. Despite survival gains over time, our findings highlight the need for improving early outcomes across all AML subgroups, older ages, and Black and Pacific Islander patients and long-term outcomes among most treated groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Addition of anti-GD2 antibodies to temozolomide-based chemotherapy has demonstrated increased antitumor activity and progression-free survival in patients with relapsed/progressive high-risk neuroblastoma. However, chemo-immunotherapy is not yet approved for this indication. This study presents the chemo-immunotherapy experience in patients with relapsed/progressive high-risk neuroblastoma treated within the off-label use program of the Neuroblastoma Committee of the French Society of Pediatric Oncology (SFCE). METHODS Dinutuximab beta (dB) was administered alongside temozolomide-topotecan (TOTEM) or temozolomide-irinotecan (TEMIRI) at first disease relapse/progression or topotecan-cyclophosphamide (TopoCyclo) at further relapse/progression. Real-world data on demographics, treatment, antitumor activity and safety was collected from all patients after inclusion in SACHA-France (NCT04477681), a prospective national registry, which documents safety and efficacy data on innovative anticancer therapies prescribed to patients ≤ 25 years old as compassionate or off-label use. RESULTS Between February 2021 and July 2023, 39 patients with confirmed relapsed/progressive high-risk neuroblastoma (median age 6 years, range 1-24) were treated with dB+TopoCyclo (n = 24) or dB+TOTEM/TEMIRI (n = 15) across 17 centers. In total, 163 chemo-immunotherapy cycles were administered, main toxicities were mild or moderate, with higher incidence of hematological adverse drug reactions with dB+TopoCyclo than dB+TOTEM/TEMIRI. Objective response rate was 42% for dB+TopoCyclo (CI95% 22-63%) and 40% for dB+TOTEM/TEMIRI (CI95% 16-68%). CONCLUSION Similar objective response rates for dB+TopoCyclo and dB+TOTEM/TEMIRI in patients with relapsed/progressive high-risk neuroblastoma emphasize the importance of chemo-immunotherapy, irrespective of the chemotherapy backbone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our primary aim in this study is to define the clinical characteristics of patients with clear-cell ovarian carcinoma and evaluate the prognostic factors affecting survival. STUDY DESIGN Records of 85 patients, operated between 2000 and 2018, for an adnexal mass and whose final pathology reported clear cell ovarian carcinoma were reviewed. The study considered demographic data, clinical characteristics of the patients, as well as pure and mixed-type clear cell histology. The patients' follow-up time, disease-free and overall survival recorded. The primary outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The median age of the patients at diagnosis was 52. In 64.7 % of the cases, clear cell histology was pure, while the others (35.3 %) were mixed. Patients with ovarian endometriosis constituted 27.1 % of the whole population. The median OS for the entire population was 92 months (95 %CI:72-124). On univariate and multivariate analyses, advanced age was found to have a significant independent impact on OS and DFS (p < 0.05) and, was associated with a worse prognosis. Also, the multivariate analyses showed that the presence of endometriosis has a significant independent impact on OS (p < 0.05). When examining the relationship between the histological origin (mixed vs. pure) and 5-year survival, the mixed type showed longer OS and DFS rates (76.8 % vs. 69.8 %, 61.5 % vs. 53.8 %), the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION This retrospective study showed that although mixed type histological origin was associated with higher OS and DFS rates compared to pure type in patients with CCOC, the difference was not statistically significant. Advanced age and the presence of endometriosis was found to have a significant independent effect on OS and DFS and was associated with a worse prognosis. Overall, this study provides useful insights into the clinical characteristics of patients with CCOC and identifies important prognostic factors affecting survival.

Abstract
Peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (PNET), or Ewing sarcoma, are tumors that generally develop in bone; extraskeletal locations are rare. Renal PNETs are rare and are characterized by an aggressive clinical course and a poor prognosis. We report the case of a young patient who presented with abdominal and lumbar pain with a palpable abdominal mass. The imaging was in favor of a huge renal tumor, and the histological analysis allowed the diagnosis of a renal PNET. The therapeutic attitude was multimodal, including surgery and chemotherapy, allowing complete remission and a favorable outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on the relationship between ovarian cancer surgery volume and outcomes in France. METHODS For this retrospective, population-based study, patients with ovarian cancer that was diagnosed between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016 were identified from the French National Health Data System (SNDS). Hospitals were classified in function of their ovarian cancer surgery volume. Patient, tumor, hospital, and hospital stay characteristics also were evaluated. The hospital procedure volume effect on 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was determined with Cox-proportional hazards models. RESULTS This study included 8429 patients and 53.4% underwent cytoreductive surgery in hospitals with procedure volume < 20 cases/year. The 5-year OS rates were 63% and 60% in hospitals with procedure volume ≥ 20 and < 20 cases/year (p = 0.02). In multivariate analysis, OS and RFS were significantly increased when surgery was performed in hospitals doing ≥ 20 surgeries/year (vs. < 20) (hazard ratio HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.08-1.29 and HR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.03-1.17). In the volume subgroup analysis, a difference was observed mainly between hospitals with < 10 surgeries/year and the other hospitals (HR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.14-1.41 and HR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.05-1.23). The patients' age and comorbidities, tumor stage, and hospital stay (duration, first cytoreduction surgery) were associated with OS. CONCLUSIONS Ovarian cancer surgery volume ≥ 20 cases/year was significantly associated with improved OS and RFS but only with a limited clinical benefit. The biggest differences in OS and RFS were observed between hospitals with procedure volume < 10 cases/year and all the other hospitals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One randomized phase III trial comparing chemotherapy (CT) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has demonstrated significant efficacy of ICI in deficient DNA mismatch repair system/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer. However, few studies have compared ICI with CT in other advanced dMMR/MSI-H digestive tumors. METHODS In this multicenter study, we included patients with advanced dMMR/MSI-H non-colorectal digestive tumors treated with chemotherapy and/or ICIs. Patients were divided retrospectively into two groups, a CT group and an immunotherapy (IO) group. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). A propensity score approach using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method was applied to deal with potential differences between the two groups. RESULTS 133 patients (45.1/27.1/27.8% with gastric/small bowel/other carcinomas) were included. The majority of patients received ICI in 1st (29.1%) or 2nd line (44.4%). The 24-month PFS rates were 7.9% in the CT group and 71.2% in the IO group. Using the IPTW method, IO treatment was associated with better PFS (HR=0.227; 95% CI 0.147-0.351; p < 0.0001). The overall response rate was 26.3% in the CT group versus 60.7% in the IO group (p < 0.001) with prolonged duration of disease control in the IO group (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, predictive factors of PFS for patients treated with IO were good performance status, absence of liver metastasis and prior primary tumor resection, whereas no association was found for the site of the primary tumor. CONCLUSIONS In the absence of randomized trials, our study highlights the superior efficacy of ICI compared with standard-of-care therapy in patients with unresectable or metastatic dMMR/MSI-H non-colorectal digestive cancer, regardless of tumor type, with acceptable toxicity.

Abstract
High grade gliomas are the most common primary aggressive brain tumours with a very poor prognosis and a median survival of less than 2 years. The standard management protocol of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients involves surgery followed by radiotherapy, chemotherapy in the form of temozolomide and further adjuvant temozolomide. The recent advances in molecular profiling of high-grade gliomas have further enhanced our understanding of the disease. Although the management of glioblastoma is standardised in newly diagnosed adult patients there is a lot of debate regarding the best treatment approach for the newly diagnosed elderly glioblastoma patients. In this review article we attempt to summarise the findings regarding surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and their combination in order to offer the best possible management modality for this group of patients. Elderly patients 65-70 with an excellent functional level could be considered as candidates for the standards treatment consisting of surgery, standard radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. Similarly, elderly patients above 70 with good functional status could receive the above with the exception of receiving a shorter course of radiotherapy instead of standard. In elderly GBM patients with poorer functional status and MGMT promoter methylation temozolomide chemotherapy can be considered. For elderly patients who cannot tolerate chemotherapy, hypofractionated radiotherapy is an option. In contrast to the younger adult patients, it seems that a careful individualised approach is a key element in deciding the best treatment options for this group of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a well-established standard practice in invasive bladder cancer (BCa), however patient selection remains challenging. High expression of vasohibin-1 (VASH1), an endogenous regulator of angiogenesis, has been reported in high-grade and advanced BCa; however, its prognostic value for chemotherapy outcomes remains unexplored. In this study, we sought to identify biomarkers of chemotherapy response focusing on the relationship between angiogenesis and tissue hypoxia. METHODS Forty Japanese patients with BCa who underwent NAC and radical cystectomy were included in the present analysis. We compared the immunohistochemical expression of CD34, VASH1, and carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9) between patients who achieved tumor clearance at operation (ypT0) and those with residual disease after cystectomy. RESULTS There were 19 patients in the ypT0 group, while the remaining 21 patients had residual tumors at operation. Patients in the ypT0 group had high microvessel density (p = 0.031), high VASH1 density (p < 0.001), and stronger CA9 staining (p = 0.046) than their counterparts. Multivariate analysis identified microvessel and VASH1 density as independent predictive factors for pathological ypT0 disease (p = 0.043 and 0.002, respectively). The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was higher in the high VASH1 density group than in the low VASH1 density group (66.3% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.036). CONCLUSION VASH1 density is a potential therapeutic biomarker for chemotherapy response in BCa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polyunsaturated fatty acids are categorized as ω-3 or ⍵-6. Previous studies demonstrate that breast cancers display a high expression of fatty acid synthase and high fatty acid levels. Our study sought to determine if changes in plasma or red blood cell membrane fatty acid levels were associated with the response to preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy in non-metastatic breast cancer patients. METHODS Our prospective study assessed fatty acid levels in plasma and red blood cell membrane. Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was evaluated by the presence or absence of pathologic complete response and/or residual cancer burden. RESULTS A total of 28 patients were included. First, patients who achieved pathologic complete response had significantly higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio versus no pathologic complete response (P = 0.003). Second, total red blood cell membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher in the absence of pathologic complete response (P = 0.0028). Third, total red blood cell membrane ⍵-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids were also higher in no pathologic complete response (P < 0.01). Among ⍵-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, red blood cell membrane linoleic acid was higher in the absence of pathologic complete response (P < 0.01). Notably, plasma polyunsaturated fatty acid, ⍵-6, and linoleic acid levels did not have significant differences. A multivariate analysis confirmed red blood cell membrane linoleic acid was associated with no pathologic complete response; this was further confirmed by receiver operating characteristic analysis (specificity = 92.3%, sensitivity = 76.9%, and area under the curve = 0.855). CONCLUSIONS Pending further validation, red blood cell membrane linoleic acid might serve as a predictor biomarker of poorer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in non-metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-positive breast cancer. Measuring fatty acids in red blood cell membrane could offer a convenient, minimally invasive strategy to identifying patients more likely to respond or those with chemoresistance.

Abstract
Lymphoma is a common disease in companion animals. While conventional chemotherapy has the potential to induce remission and prolong life, relapse is common and novel treatments are needed to improve outcome. This review discusses recent modifications/adjustments to conventional standard of care therapy for canine and feline lymphoma, options for treatment or relapsed/refractory disease, and cutting-edge immunotherapy and small molecule-based approaches that are in varying stages of regulatory approval.

Abstract
STUDY AIM ModraDoc006, an oral formulation of docetaxel, is co-administered with the cytochrome P450-3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor, ritonavir (r): ModraDoc006/r. The preliminary efficacy and safety of oral ModraDoc006/r was evaluated in a global randomized phase II trial and compared to the current standard chemotherapy regimen of intravenous (i.v.) docetaxel and prednisone. METHODS 103 mCRPC patients, chemotherapy-naïve with/without abiraterone and/or enzalutamide pretreated, with adequate organ function and evaluable disease per RECIST v1.1 and PCWG3 guidelines were randomized 1:1 into two cohorts. In Cohort 1, 49 patients received docetaxel 75 mg/m2 i.v. every 3 weeks (Q3W). In Cohort 2, 52 patients received ModraDoc006/r; 21 patients with a starting dose of ModraDoc006 30 mg with ritonavir 200 mg in the morning and ModraDoc006 20 mg with ritonavir 100 mg in the evening (30-20/200-100 mg) bi-daily-once-weekly (BIDW) on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. To alleviate tolerability, the starting dose was amended to ModraDoc006/r 20-20/200-100 mg in another 31 patients. All patients received prednisone 10 mg daily. Primary endpoint was rPFS. RESULTS There was no significant difference in rPFS between the 2 arms (p = 0.1465). Median rPFS was 9.5 months and 11.1 months (95% CI) for ModraDoc006/r and i.v. docetaxel, respectively. Partial response was noted in 44.1% and 38.7% measurable disease patients, and 50% decline of PSA was seen in 23 (50%) and 26 (56.5%) evaluable cases treated with ModraDoc006/r and i.v. docetaxel, respectively. The safety profile of ModraDoc006/r 20-20/200-100 mg dose was significantly better than i.v. docetaxel, with mild (mostly Grade 1) gastrointestinal toxicities, no hematologic adverse events, and neuropathy and alopecia incidence of 11.5% and 25%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ModraDoc006/r potentially represents a widely applicable, convenient, effective, and better tolerated oral taxane therapy option for mCRPC. Further investigation of ModraDoc006/r in a large randomized trial is warranted.

Abstract
Developing drug delivery systems (DDSs) is one of the approaches used to improve cancer treatment, with the main goal of loading cancer drugs into a carrier targeting a specific organ and avoiding the distribution to healthy tissues. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been shown to be one of the optimum carriers that can be used as DDSs. Lipid-based NPs, such as liposomes, have been investigated in the current study due to their low toxicity and ability to carry hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules. In the current studies, conventional liposomes composed of DPPC, and cholesterol and PEGylated liposomes composed of DPPC, cholesterol, and DSPE-PEG2000 are manufactured and loaded with Carboplatin. The study focused on investigating and comparing the impact of modifying the carboplatin-loaded liposomes with different concentrations of DSPE-PEG2000 on the NP diameter, polydispersity, ζ-potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE%), and drug release. The hydrodynamic microfluidic system was used to investigate any possible improvement in the EE% over other conventional methods. The results showed the microfluidic system's promising effect in enhancing the EE% of the Carboplatin. Moreover, the results showed a smaller diameter and higher stability of the PEGylated liposome. However, conventional liposomes represent better homogeneity and higher encapsulation efficiency for hydrophilic molecules.

Abstract
Lung cancer stands as the foremost health issue and the principal reason for mortality worldwide. It is projected that India will see over 1.73 million new cases and more than 880,000 deaths related to cancer, with lung cancer being a significant contributor. The efficiency of existing chemotherapy procedures is not optimal because of less soluble nature and short half-life of anticancer substances. More precipitated toxicity and non-existence of targeting propensity can lead to severe side effects, non-compliance, and inconvenience for patients. Nonetheless, the domain of nanomedicine has undergone a revolution in the past few years with the advent of novel drug delivery mechanisms that tackle the drawbacks of conventional approaches. Diverse nanoparticle-based drug delivery methods, including liposomes, nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carrier and solid lipid nanoparticle that encapsulated chemotherapy drugs, are currently employed for efficient lung cancer therapy. NLCs, recognized as the second-generation lipid nanocarriers, are a focused drug delivery mechanism that has garnered significant interest owing to their multitude of advantages such as increased stability, minimal toxicity, prolonged shelf life, superior encapsulation capability, and biocompatible nature. This review focuses on the NLCs carrier system, discussing its preparation methods, types, characterization, applications, and future prospects in lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Combination therapy exhibits higher efficacy than any single therapy, inspiring various nanocarrier-assisted multi-drug co-delivery systems for the combined treatment of cancer. However, most nanocarriers are inert and non-therapeutic and have potential side effects. Herein, an amphiphilic polymer composed of a hydrophobic photosensitizer and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) was employed as the nanocarriers and photosensitizers to encapsulate the chemotherapeutic drug mitoxantrone for chemo-photodynamic combination therapy. The resulting nanodrug consisted solely of pharmacologically active ingredients, thus avoiding potential toxicity induced by inert excipients. This multifunctional nanoplatform demonstrated significantly superior treatment performance compared to monotherapy for colorectal cancer, both in vitro and in vivo, achieving near-infrared fluorescence imaging-mediated chemo-photodynamic combined eradication of malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy have demonstrated promising outcomes in patients with high microsatellite instability (MSI) (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer. However, the comparative effectiveness of Immunotherapy and chemotherapy for patients with low MSI (MSI-L), and microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer remains unclear.
AIM To investigate immunotherapy vs chemotherapy for treatment of MSI-L/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the success of immunotherapy against chemotherapy in managing MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer during a follow-up of 50 months.
METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with immunotherapy or chemotherapy. The study population was stratified by MSI status (MSI-H, MSI-L, and MSS). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between treatment modality and OS, adjusting for potential confounders.
RESULTS A total of 21951 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were included in the analysis, of which 2358 were MSI-H, and 19593 were MSI-L/MSS. In the MSI-H cohort, immunotherapy treatment (n = 142) was associated with a significantly improved median OS compared to chemotherapy (n = 860). After adjusting for potential confounders, immunotherapy treatment remained significantly associated with better OS in the MSI-H cohort [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.57, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.43-0.77, P < 0.001]. In the MSS cohort, no significant difference in median OS was observed between immunotherapy treatment and chemotherapy (aHR: 0.94, 95%CI: 0.69-1.29, P = 0.715).
CONCLUSION In this population-based study using the NCDB, immunotherapy treatment was associated with significantly improved OS compared to chemotherapy in patients with MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer, but not in those with MSI-L/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal therapeutic approach for patients with MSI-L/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct an personalized multidisciplinary neurotoxicity management program for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms in breast cancer patients and evaluate its application effects. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 133 breast cancer chemotherapy patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. Based on the nursing protocols received, patients were divided into a control group (n = 66) and an intervention group (n = 67). The control group received conventional nursing interventions, while the intervention group received personalized nursing interventions in addition to the control group interventions. The nursing programs were carried out during chemotherapy. A comparison was made between the two groups before chemotherapy and 3 months after chemotherapy in terms of the degree of neuropathy, cancer-related fatigue, negative emotional status, and symptom management knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). RESULTS The intervention group showed significantly lower neuropathy severity (FACT/GOG-Ntx), cancer-related fatigue (CFS), and negative emotions (PHQ-9, GAD-7) scores after chemotherapy compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the intervention group exhibited higher scores for symptom management knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Personalized multidisciplinary neurotoxicity management program significantly improved neuropathy severity, reduced cancer-related fatigue and negative emotions, and enhanced symptom management knowledge, attitudes, and practices among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE BRCA1/2 are integral to the DNA repair mechanism and their germline pathogenic variants (gBRCA) result in a high risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. Patients with gBRCA mutations showed increased sensitivity to DNA cross-linking agent but might have increased treatment-related toxicities. Thus, we hypothesized that gBRCA mutation ovarian cancer patients who underwent platinum-based chemotherapy might be at higher risk of developing chemotherapy-induced hematologic toxicity. METHODS This study enrolled 160 patients with ovarian cancer who received frontline platinum-based chemotherapy between 2011 and 2019 in Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital. Incidence rate and severity of chemotherapy-induced hematologic toxicity (neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia) was compared for BRCA mutation and wild patients. RESULTS 160 women, including 62 BRCA1/2 (38 BRCA1, and 25 BRCA2) mutation group, and 98 noncarriers, were analyzed. A higher frequency of G2 anemia was noted in the BRCA -mutant group (22% vs. 1%, p = 0.07). Furthermore, G3 anemia was significantly common among BRCA group (12.9% vs. 3%, p = 0.02). In the subgroup analysis according to BRCA1/2 status, BRCA1 mutated patients showed a significantly higher frequency of G1 anemia than BRCA2 (89% vs. 60%, p = 0.01). In terms of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, BRCA mutated patients and noncarriers had similar hematologic toxicity. CONCLUSION Germline BRCA mutations were associated with a higher frequency of G2/3 anemia in ovarian cancer patients who underwent first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Moreover, the BRCA1 mutation appeared to be more strongly associated with the incidence of chemotherapy-induced anemia. Our findings warrant further investigation in larger, prospective studies to confirm these current findings and determine whether preventive interventions may be necessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Our review delves into the progress across urological malignancies and discusses ongoing challenges and future directions in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development, emphasising their transformative potential in cancer care. RECENT FINDINGS ADCs have advanced from hematologic to solid tumours, notably in breast cancer, and are now pivotal in metastatic urological cancers as both monotherapies and in combination regimens, underscored by the FDA's approval of enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan for metastatic urothelial cancer. Progress in metastatic prostate cancer, particularly with ADCs targeting PSMA and STEAP1, is noteworthy, although renal cell cancer presents ongoing challenges. There is a continual search for agents in the metastatic, relapsed testicular cancer landscape. ADCs have emerged as a pivotal innovation in oncology, blending targeted antibody therapy with potent cytotoxic drugs, significantly advancing treatment options for urological malignancies.

Abstract
The biomarker-oriented chemo-immunotherapy is useful and promising in the development of new anticancer agents, since the responders can be enriched by selecting patients with biomarkers. Compared to colorectal and lung cancers, the development of biomarker-driven molecular-targeted therapeutics for gastric cancers has been straggled. However, several new biomarkers in gastric cancers have been discovered and clinical trials in enrichment design with certain biomarkers have been conducted. Therefore, there are currently several treatment options to treat gastric cancer patients based on individual biomarker-oriented strategies. In the present review, we describe the useful biomarkers in gastric cancer, with focusing on HER2, PD-L1, and Claudin18.2, in relation to their clinical significance and associated targeted agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the efficacy of megestrol in improving chemotherapy-related anorexia by analyzing the related scales of taste alteration. METHODS We conducted the current study on a group of advanced patients with cancer with two or more chemotherapy cycles. The chemotherapy-induced taste alteration scale (CiTAs) scale helped assess the megestrol effects on basic taste perception, aversive taste changes, unpleasant symptoms, and associated concerns. Furthermore, the Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire scale (SNAQ) helped measure the impact of megestrol on malnutrition likelihood in patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced anorexia. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF Scale was used to evaluate the quality of life of participants, producing scores related to physical health, psychological well-being, environmental factors, and social relationships. RESULTS The CiTAs scale assessment indicated that administering megestrol significantly enhanced taste perception among advanced patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Notably, the megestrol group patients showed significantly higher Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) scores than the control group. The megestrol group patients also exhibited higher physiological (PHYS) scores than their control group counterparts. However, this distinction was not statistically significant. The study findings indicate that patients who received megestrol demonstrated significantly higher scores in psychological (PSYCH) and environmental(ENVIR) domains than the control group. Furthermore, megestrol administration was associated with significantly elevated SOCIL and ENVIR levels in patients. CONCLUSION The proficient efficacy evaluation of megestrol in enhancing appetite, mitigating malnutrition likelihood, and improving the quality of life of chemotherapy-induced anorexic patients can be achieved through taste-related scales.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance poses clinical challenges in pancreatic cancer treatment. Developing cell lines resistant to chemotherapy is crucial for investigating drug resistance mechanisms and identifying alternative treatment pathways. The genetic and biological attributes of pancreatic cancer depend on its aetiology, racial demographics and anatomical origin, underscoring the need for models that comprehensively represent these characteristics. Here, we introduce PDAC-X2, a pancreatic cancer cell line derived from Chinese patients. We conducted a comprehensive analysis encompassing the immune phenotype, biology, genetics, molecular characteristics and tumorigenicity of the cell line. PDAC-X2 cells displayed epithelial morphology and expressed cell markers (CK7 and CK19) alongside other markers (E-cadherin, Vimentin, Ki-67, CEA and CA19-9). The population doubling time averaged around 69 h. In vivo, PDAC-X2 cells consistently maintained their tumorigenicity, achieving a 100% tumour formation rate. Characterised by a predominantly tetraploid karyotype, this cell line exhibited a complex genetic markup. Notably, PDAC-X2 cells demonstrated resistance to multiple drugs, including gemcitabine, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin. In conclusion, PDAC-X2 presents an invaluable preclinical model. Its utility lies in facilitating the study of drug resistance mechanisms and the exploration of alternative therapeutic approaches aimed at enhancing the prognosis of this tumour type.

Abstract
We report a case of an Ewing-like sarcoma of the gluteal region with ongoing growth during the second trimester of pregnancy and noted during the third trimester. This lesion was consequently studied to infer its malignant potential. Several examinations were conducted to characterise this lesion, such as ultrasound and MR, which showed signs of tumourous invasion of the deep tissues of the gluteal region.Given that the pregnancy was at the end of the third trimester, the decision was made to schedule the delivery at 37 weeks of gestation and treat the tumour afterwards to balance maternal and fetal health.This case illustrates the need for a detailed investigation and guidance by a multidisciplinary team to provide prenatal counselling regarding a malignant tumour during pregnancy.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignancy of childhood. Advanced stage presentation of RB is common in low middle-income countries (LMICs) due to lack of awareness, social taboos associated with enucleation, seeking alternative conservative treatment options, and poor accessibility to health care. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advancements in the management of extraocular RB (EORB) which have improved outcomes and helped in minimizing treatment-related toxicities. The incorporation of multimodality approaches including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy (RT) has shown promising results; however, prognosis remains poor especially in LMICs. In this article, authors have discussed the ICMR consensus guidelines on the management of EORB, including metastatic RB.

Abstract
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) has become one of the most prevalent malignant tumors and exploring a potential therapeutic strategy with diminished drug-associated adverse effects to combat CRC is urgent. Herein, we designed a pH-responsive polymer to efficiently encapsulate a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist (5,6- dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid, termed ASA404) and a common clinically used chemotherapeutic agent (1-hexylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil, termed HCFU). Investigations in vitro demonstrated that polymer encapsulation endowed the system with a pH-dependent disassembly behavior (pHt 6.37), which preferentially selected cancerous cells with a favorable dose reduction (dose reduction index (DRI) of HCFU was 4.09). Moreover, the growth of CRC in tumor-bearing mice was effectively suppressed, with tumor suppression rates up to 94.74%, and a combination index (CI) value of less than one (CI = 0.41 for CT26 cell lines), indicating a significant synergistic therapeutic effect. Histological analysis of the tumor micro-vessel density and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests indicated that the system increased TNF-α and IFN-β levels in serum. Therefore, this research introduces a pH-responsive polymer-based theranostic platform with great potential for immune-chemotherapeutic and anti-vascular combination therapy of CRC.

Abstract
Various cancers frequently exhibit polyploidy, observed in a condition where a cell possesses more than two sets of chromosomes, which is considered a hallmark of the disease. The state of polyploidy often leads to aneuploidy, where cells possess an abnormal number or structure of chromosomes. Recent studies suggest that oncogenes contribute to aneuploidy. This finding significantly underscores its impact on cancer. Cancer cells exposed to certain chemotherapeutic drugs tend to exhibit an increased incidence of polyploidy. This occurrence is strongly associated with several challenges in cancer treatment, including metastasis, resistance to chemotherapy and the recurrence of malignant tumors. Indeed, it poses a significant hurdle to achieve complete tumor eradication and effective cancer therapy. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the field of polyploidy related to cancer for developing effective anti-cancer therapies. Polyploid cancer cells confer both advantages and disadvantages to tumor pathogenicity. This review delineates the diverse characteristics of polyploid cells, elucidates the pivotal role of polyploidy in cancer, and explores the advantages and disadvantages it imparts to cancer cells, along with the current approaches tried in lab settings to target polyploid cells. Additionally, it considers experimental strategies aimed at addressing the outstanding questions within the realm of polyploidy in relation to cancer.

Abstract
This investigation aimed to explore the prognostic factors in elderly patients with unresected gastric cancer (GC) who have received chemotherapy and to develop a nomogram for predicting their cancer-specific survival (CSS). Elderly gastric cancer patients who have received chemotherapy but no surgery in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database between 2004 and 2015 were included in this study. Cox analyses were conducted to identify prognostic factors, leading to the formulation of a nomogram. The nomogram was validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves. The findings elucidated six prognostic factors encompassing grade, histology, M stage, radiotherapy, tumor size, and T stage, culminating in the development of a nomogram. The ROC curve indicated that the area under curve of the nomogram used to predict CSS for 3, 4, and 5 years in the training queue as 0.689, 0.708, and 0.731, and in the validation queue, as 0.666, 0.693, and 0.708. The calibration curve indicated a high degree of consistency between actual and predicted CSS for 3, 4, and 5 years. This nomogram created to predict the CSS of elderly patients with unresected GC who have received chemotherapy could significantly enhance treatment accuracy.

Abstract
The pivotal roles of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in drug resistance have been widely appreciated. Here we report that marein, a natural product from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt, is a potent chemo-sensitizer in drug resistant cancer cells overexpressing ABCG2 transporter. We demonstrate that marein can competitively inhibit efflux activity of ABCG2 protein and increase the intracellular accumulation of the chemotherapeutic drugs that belong to substrate of this transporter. We further show that marein can bind to the conserved amino acid residue F439 of ABCG2, a critical site for drug-substrate interaction. Moreover, marein can significantly sensitize the ABCG2-expressing tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs such as topotecan, mitoxantrone, and Olaparib. This study reveals a novel role and mechanism of marein in modulating drug resistance, and may have important implications in treatment of cancers that are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs that belong to the substrates of ABCG2 transporters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary lymphoma of the female genital tract (PLFGT) is a rare malignant tumor in the female reproductive system, with a low incidence and few clinical reports. The aim of this study is to report our institutional experience with this rare malignancy and emphasize the need for increasing the awareness about PLFGT presenting with gynecologic symptoms. METHODS The medical records of patients diagnosed with PLFGT from March 2014 to November 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College were reviewed. Histological classification and staging were based on the World Health Organization and Ann Arbor systems, respectively. RESULTS There were 13 patients with diagnosis of PLFGT and the median length of follow-up was 31 months (0-102 months). The main clinical symptoms included postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, pelvic mass and abdominal pain. Serum LDH increased in 10 patients and serum CA125 elevated in 2 patients. The tumor of ovarian or uterine presented as solid masses in CT or MRI, and ascites was rare. The histological subtypes were diffuse large B-cell (n = 12) and follicular (n = 1) lymphoma. Tumors were located in ovary (n = 8), uterus (n = 3), and cervix (n = 2). According to the Ann Arbor staging system, 6 cases were classified as stage II and 7 cases were classified as stage IV, respectively. A total of 10 patients underwent surgery. Combination chemotherapy was used in 10 patients. Eight patients had tumor-free survival, 1 patient had recurrent disease, 3 patients died and 1 patient lost to follow-up. The median survival time was 32 months (1-102 months). CONCLUSION PLFGT usually presents as gynecological symptoms and solid masses in pelvis. Surgery or biopsy was the way to obtain the pathologic diagnosis, and combination chemotherapy is the efficient method for PLFGT.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly invasive and metastatic subtype of breast cancer that often recurs after surgery. Herein, we developed a cyclodextrin-based tumor-targeted nano delivery system that incorporated the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the chemotherapeutic agent lonidamine (LND) to form the R6RGD-CMβCD-se-se-Ce6/LND nanoparticles (RCC/LND NPS). This nanosystem could target cancer cells, avoid lysosomal degradation and further localize within the mitochondria. The RCC/LND NPS had pH and redox-responsive to control the release of Ce6 and LND. Consequently, the nanosystem had a synergistic effect by effectively alleviating hypoxia, enhancing the production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and amplifying the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Furthermore, the RCC/LND NPS + light weakened anoikis resistance, disrupted extracellular matrix (ECM), activated both the intrinsic apoptotic pathway (mitochondrial pathway) and extrinsic apoptotic pathway (receptor death pathway) of anoikis. In addition, the nanosystem showed significant anti-TNBC efficacy in vivo. These findings collectively demonstrated that RCC/LND NPS + light enhanced the anticancer effects, induced anoikis and inhibited tumor cell migration and invasion through a synergistic effect of chemotherapy and PDT. Overall, this study highlighted the promising potential of the RCC/LND NPS + light for the treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectal cancer treatment has transformed in recent years, with neoadjuvant treatment (NT) and total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) aiming to enhance pathological responses. This pioneering study in our country delves into rectal cancer management, offering crucial insights by examining pathological outcomes in patients treated with the NT and TNT approach, shaping the evolving landscape. METHODS In this retrospective-cohort study spanning January 2017 to December 2022 at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan, ethical approval was obtained to examine outcomes of two treatments. Patients were divided into TNT (chemoradiation and pre-surgery 5 FU-based chemotherapy) and NT (chemoradiation, surgery, and subsequent 5 FU-based chemotherapy). The primary end-point was response rates-no response, pathological complete response (pCR), near complete response (near CR), and partial response (PR). The Chi-Square Test for Independence assessed the association between treatment response and type (TNT or NT). Data analysis used STATA MP 64; significance was set at p < 0.05 for all two-tailed tests. RESULTS We analyzed 77 patients, 60 underwent standard neoadjuvant chemoradiation, and 17 followed the total neoadjuvant approach. Predominantly male, most were > 65 with ECOG 0-1. The TNT group showed higher response rates (76% vs 62%, p = 0.039), with 40.38% achieving pCR. In the overall population, pCR and near-CR were similar (27.2% vs 26%), while PR were 14%. Treatment characteristics correlated significantly with chemotherapy type, concurrent chemoradiation, LVI, PNI, and T, N, M staging (p < 0.05). Median overall survival was not reached, and mean survival was 89.1 months (CI: 95.0 to 83.3). Side effects varied, with notable differences in neuropathy, diarrhea, oral mucositis, and thrombocytopenia between NT and TNT groups. CONCLUSION Our study adds to evidence favoring neoadjuvant approaches in managing rectal cancer in pakistan. Demonstrating a favorable pcr rate, ongoing research with extended follow-up is essential, given the dynamic landscape of rectal cancer treatment for improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older patients with cancer range from fit to frail with various comorbidities and resilience to chemotherapy. Besides nausea and fatigue, a significant number of patients experience dizziness and impaired walking balance after chemotherapy, which can have great impact on their functional ability and health related quality of life. Symptoms are easily overlooked and therefore often underreported and managed, which is why symptoms could end up as long-lasting side effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the development of dizziness, decline in walking balance, and sarcopenia and the effect of a comprehensive geriatric assessment and 12 weeks of group-based exercise on these symptoms. The exercise intervention includes vestibular and balance exercises, and progressive resistance training, to counteract the symptoms in older patients with colorectal cancer treated with chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a randomized controlled trial including patients ≥65 years initiating (neo)adjuvant or first-line palliative chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Patients will undergo a comprehensive assessment program including measures of vestibular function, balance, muscle strength, mass, and endurance, peripheral and autonomic nerve function, and subjective measures of dizziness, concern of falling, and health related quality of life. Tests will be performed at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks. Patients will be placed in three different randomized controlled trials depending on chemotherapy regimen and randomized 1:1 to comprehensive geriatric assessment and exercise three times/week or control. Participants in both groups will continue with usual care, including standardized oncological treatment. In total, 150 patients are needed to assess the two primary outcomes of (1) maintenance of walking balance assessed with Dynamic Gait Index and (2) lower limb strength and endurance assessed with 30 Second Sit-to-Stand Test at 12 weeks. The primary outcomes will be analyzed using a mixed linear regression model investigating the between-group differences. DISCUSSION Trial enrollment began in April 2023 and is the first trial to evaluate reasons for dizziness, decline in walking balance, and sarcopenia in older patients receiving chemotherapy. The trial will provide new and valuable knowledge in how to assess, manage, and prevent dizziness, decline in walking balance, and sarcopenia in older patients with colorectal cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION The Regional Ethics Committee (j.nr. H-22064206). Danish Data Protection Agency (P-2023-86) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05710809).

Abstract
Breast cancer chemotherapy/immunotherapy can be associated with treatment-limiting cardiotoxicity. Radiomics techniques applied to ultrasound, known as ultrasomics, can be used in cardio-oncology to leverage echocardiography for added prognostic value. To utilize ultrasomics features collected prior to antineoplastic therapy to enhance prediction of mortality and heart failure (HF) in patients with breast cancer. Patients were retrospectively recruited in a study at the West Virginia University Cancer Institute. The final inclusion criteria were met by a total of 134 patients identified for the study. Patients were imaged using echocardiography in the parasternal long axis prior to receiving chemotherapy. All-cause mortality and HF, developed during treatment, were the primary outcomes. 269 features were assessed, grouped into four major classes: demographics (n = 21), heart function (n = 7), antineoplastic medication (n = 17), and ultrasomics (n = 224). Data was split into an internal training (60%, n = 81) and testing (40%, n = 53) set. Ultrasomics features augmented classification of mortality (area under the curve (AUC) 0.89 vs. 0.65, P = 0.003), when compared to demographic variables. When developing a risk prediction score for each feature category, ultrasomics features were significantly associated with both mortality (P = 0.031, log-rank test) and HF (P = 0.002, log-rank test). Further, only ultrasomics features provided significant improvement over demographic variables when predicting mortality (C-Index: 0.78 vs. 0.65, P = 0.044) and HF (C-Index: 0.77 vs. 0.60, P = 0.017), respectively. With further investigation, a clinical decision support tool could be developed utilizing routinely obtained patient data alongside ultrasomics variables to augment treatment regimens.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a commonly effective treatment for most types of cancer. However, many patients experience a relapse due to minimal residual disease (MRD) after chemotherapy. Previous studies have analyzed the changes induced by chemotherapy for specific types of cancer, but our study is the first to comprehensively analyze MRD across various types of cancer. We included both bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing datasets. We compared the expression of the entire genome and calculated scores for canonical pathway signatures and immune infiltrates before and after chemotherapy across different types of cancer. Our findings revealed that DUSP1 was the most significantly and widely enriched gene in pan-cancer MRD. DUSP1 was found to be essential for MRD formation and played a role in T cell-fibroblast communications and the cytotoxic function of CD4 + T cells. Overall, our analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the changes caused by chemotherapy and identifies potential targets for preventing and eliminating MRD, which could lead to long-term survival benefits for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is an exceedingly rare tumor with limited mention in scientific literature. The clinical manifestations of PPL are often nonspecific, making it challenging to distinguish this disease from other pancreatic-related diseases. Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment for these individuals.
CASE SUMMARY In this case study, we present the clinical details of a 62-year-old woman who initially presented with vomiting, abdominal pain, and dorsal pain. On further evaluation through positron emission tomography-computed tomography, the patient was considered to have a pancreatic head mass. However, subsequent endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) revealed that the patient had pancreatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). There was a substantial decrease in the size of the pancreatic mass after the patient underwent a cycle of chemotherapy comprised of brentuximab vedotin, decitabine, and oxaliplatin (brentuximab vedotin and Gemox). The patient had significant improvement in radiological findings at the end of the first cycle.
CONCLUSION Primary pancreatic PTCL-NOS is a malignant and heterogeneous lymphoma, in which the clinical manifestations are often nonspecific. It is difficult to diagnose, and the prognosis is poor. Imaging can only be used for auxiliary diagnosis of other diseases. With the help of immunostaining, EUS-FNA could be used to aid in the diagnosis of PPL. After a clear diagnosis, chemotherapy is still the first-line treatment for such patients, and surgical resection is not recommended. A large number of recent studies have shown that the CD30 antibody drug has potential as a therapy for several types of lymphoma. However, identifying new CD30-targeted therapies for different types of lymphoma is urgently needed. In the future, further research on antitumor therapy should be carried out to improve the survival prognosis of such patients.

Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy combines radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy to potentiate antitumor activity but exacerbates toxicities and causes debilitating side effects in cancer patients. Herein, we report the use of a nanoscale metal-organic layer (MOL) as a 2D nanoradiosensitizer and a reservoir for the slow release of chemotherapeutics to amplify the antitumor effects of radiotherapy. Coordination of phosphate-containing drugs to MOL secondary building units prolongs their intratumoral retention, allowing for continuous release of gemcitabine monophosphate (GMP) for effective localized chemotherapy. In the meantime, the MOL sensitizes cancer cells to X-ray irradiation and provides potent radiotherapeutic effects. GMP-loaded MOL (GMP/MOL) enhances cytotoxicity by 2-fold and improves radiotherapeutic effects over free GMP in vitro. In a colon cancer model, GMP/MOL retains GMP in tumors for more than four days and, when combined with low-dose radiotherapy, inhibits tumor growth by 98 %. The synergistic chemoradiotherapy enabled by GMP/MOL shows a cure rate of 50 %, improves survival, and ameliorates cancer-proliferation histological biomarkers.

Abstract
Background The prognostic significance of tumor size with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) patients has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Our objective was to investigate the influence of tumor size on prognostic value in adult ACC patients. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER) was employed to identify adult ACC patients who had been diagnosed from 2004 to 2015. The "X-Tile" program determined the optimal cutoff value of tumor size. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survive (OS) were estimated. The survival outcomes and risk factors were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier methods and the multivariable cox regression respectively. Results A total 426 adult ACC patients were included. Univariable and multivariable cox analysis revealed age, larger tumor size and metastasis as consistent predictors of lower CSS and OS. The optimal cutoff value of tumor size was identified as 8.5 cm using X-tile software, and Kaplan-Meier method showed dramatic prognostic difference between patients with larger tumors (>8.5 cm) and smaller tumors (≤8.5 cm) (log-rank test, P < 0.001). Subgroup analyses revealed no statistical significance and a consistent proportionate effect of tumor size on CSS and OS across all eight pre-specified subgroups. Interestingly, an additional subgroup analysis showed that ACC patients could not benefit from chemotherapy in terms of CSS and OS. Conclusion The study suggests that tumor size is a crucial prognostic factor in ACC patients and a cutoff value 8.5 cm might indicate a poor outcome. Given the limitations of the available data, it is challenging to conclusively determine the benefit of chemotherapy in adult ACC patients across different tumor size ranges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) lacks serum biomarkers with clinical diagnostic value. Multi-omics analysis is an important approach to discovering cancer biomarkers. This study aimed to identify and validate serum biomarkers for GC diagnosis by cross-analysis of proteomics and transcriptomics datasets. METHODS A cross-omics analysis was performed to identify overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between our previous aptamer-based GC serum proteomics dataset and the GC tissue RNA-Seq dataset in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, followed by lasso regression and random forest analysis to select key overlapping DEGs as candidate biomarkers for GC. The mRNA levels and diagnostic performance of these candidate biomarkers were analyzed in the original and independent GC datasets to select valuable candidate biomarkers. The valuable candidate biomarkers were subjected to bioinformatics analysis to select those closely associated with the biological behaviors of GC as potential biomarkers. The clinical diagnostic value of the potential biomarkers was validated using serum samples, and their expression levels and functions in GC cells were validated using in vitro cell experiments. RESULTS Four candidate biomarkers (ILF2, PGM2L1, CHD7, and JCHAIN) were selected. Their mRNA levels differed significantly between tumor and normal tissues and showed different diagnostic performances for GC, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs) of 0.629-0.950 in the TCGA dataset and 0.736-0.840 in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. In the bioinformatics analysis, only ILF2 (interleukin enhancer-binding factor 2) gene levels were associated with immune cell infiltration, some checkpoint gene expression, chemotherapy sensitivity, and immunotherapy response. Serum levels of ILF2 were higher in GC patients than in controls, with an AUROC of 0.944 for the diagnosis of GC, and it was also detected in the supernatants of GC cells. Knockdown of ILF2 by siRNA significantly reduced the proliferation and colony formation of GC cells. Overexpression of ILF2 significantly promotes the proliferation and colony formation of gastric cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS Trans-omics analysis of proteomics and transcriptomics is an efficient approach for discovering serum biomarkers, and ILF2 is a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target of gastric cancer.
