Human NLRC4 promotes cancer survival and is associated to type-I interferon signaling and immune infiltration
J Clin Invest. 2024 Apr 23:e166085. doi: 10.1172/JCI166085. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe immune system can control cancer progression. However, even though some innate immune sensors of cellular stress are expressed intrinsically in epithelial cells, their potential role in cancer aggressiveness and subsequent overall survival in humans is mainly unknown. Here, we show that NLR family CARD Domain Containing 4 (NLRC4) is downregulated in epithelial tumor cells of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients by using spatial tissue imaging. Strikingly, only the loss of tumor NLRC4 but not stromal is associated with poor immune infi...

Biomarker-oriented chemo-immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
Int J Clin Oncol. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s10147-024-02525-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 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 tr...

The Impact of potential 'confounders' on the diagnostic sensitivity of circulating free DNA in management of FIT+ patients: a pilot study
J Clin Pathol. 2024 Apr 22:jcp-2024-209527. doi: 10.1136/jcp-2024-209527. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCell-free DNA (cfDNA) has long been established as a useful diagnostic and prognostic tool in a variety of clinical settings, ranging from infectious to cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases. However, non-neoplastic diseases can act as confounders impacting on the amount of cfDNA shed in bloodstream and on technical feasibility of tumour derived free circulating nucleic acids selecting patients with cancer. Here, we investigated the potential impact of other pathological processes in the clinical stratification of 637 F...

Characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients admitted to intensive care units in cancer specialized hospitals in China
CONCLUSION: Patients with lung cancer require more ICU care due to critical complications and the overall survival prognosis is poor. Colorectal cancer may benefit more from ICU management. This information may be considered in ICU admission and treatment strategies.PMID:38642154 | PMC:PMC11032264 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05727-0 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Clinicopathological characteristics of Lynch-like syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: Distinguishing clinically between LS and LLS was challenging, but the incidence of neoplasms was higher in LS than in LLS, suggesting the need for different screening and surveillance methods for the two subtypes.PMID:38642190 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02527-x (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Cost-effectiveness analysis of fruquintinib in Chinese patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer
CONCLUSION: Fruquintinib emerges as a promising therapeutic option for refractory mCRC. However, its cost-effectiveness depends on selected willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold. While the drug's ICER surpasses the WTP based on China's 2022 GDP per capita, it remains below the threshold set at three times the national GDP.PMID:38642249 | DOI:10.1007/s11096-024-01721-1 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Sequential RAS mutations evaluation in cell-free DNA of patients with tissue RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer: the PERSEIDA (Cohort 2) study
CONCLUSIONS: The concordance rate between liquid and solid biopsies at baseline was very high, as previously reported, while our results suggest a considerable emergence of RAS mutations during disease progression. Thus, the dynamics of the genomic landscape in ctDNA may provide relevant information for the management of mCRC patients.PMID:38642257 | DOI:10.1007/s12094-024-03487-4 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

N6-methyladenosine-modified circSLCO1B3 promotes intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma progression via regulating HOXC8 and PD-L1
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, m6A-modified circSLCO1B3 was correlated with poor prognosis in ICC and promoted ICC progression not only by enhancing proliferation and metastasis via potentiating HOXC8 expression, but also by inducing immune evasion via antagonizing PD-L1 degradation. These results suggest that circSLCO1B3 is a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for ICC.PMID:38641828 | PMC:PMC11031933 | DOI:10.1186/s13046-024-03006-x (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)
