The New WHO Category of "Molecularly Defined Renal Carcinomas": Clinical and Diagnostic Features and Management Implications
Urol Oncol. 2024 Mar 21:S1078-1439(24)00333-8. doi: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.02.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe evolution of classification of renal tumors has been impacted since the turn of the millennium by rapid progress in histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular genetics. Together, these features have enabled firm recognition of specific, classic types of renal cell carcinomas, such as clear cell renal cell carcinoma, that in current practice trigger histologic-type specific management and treatment protocols. Now, the fifth Edition World Health Classification's new category of "Molecularly defined re...

Clinical research progress of ridaforolimus (AP23573, MK8668) over the past decade: a systemic review
Rapamycin, an established mTOR inhibitor in clinical practice, is widely recognized for its therapeutic efficacy. Ridaforolimus, a non-prodrug rapalog, offers improved aqueous solubility, stability, and affinity compared to rapamycin. In recent years, there has been a surge in clinical trials involving ridaforolimus. We searched PubMed for ridaforolimus over the past decade and selected clinical trials of ridaforolimus to make a summary of the research progress of ridaforolimus in clinical trials. The majority of these trials explored the application of ridaforolimus in treating various tumors, including endometrial cancer...

Effect of Annexin A2 on prognosis and sensitivity to immune checkpoint plus tyrosine kinase inhibition in metastatic renal cell carcinoma
ConclusionsUpregulated ANXA2 was associated with poor PFS and therapeutic resistance in RCC treated by IO  + TKI therapy, and related with T cell exhaustion. The integrated RF score could stratify patients who would benefit from IO + TKI therapy. (Source: Hormones and Cancer)

Memory/active T cell activation is associated with immunotherapeutic response in fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: ICI plus TKI combination therapy may represent a promising treatment option for metastatic FH-deficient RCC. A memory/active T cell-derived signature is associated with the efficacy of ICI+TKI but necessitates further validation.PMID:38512114 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2760 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Dexmedetomidine attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced renal cell fibrotic phenotypic changes by inhibiting necroinflammation via activating α < sub > 2 < /sub > -adrenoceptor: A combined randomised animal and in vitro study
CONCLUSIONS: Dex reduced EMT following LPS stimulation whilst simultaneously inhibiting pyroptosis and necroptosis via α2-AR activation in the renal tubular cells. The "anti-fibrotic" and cytoprotective properties and its clinical use of Dex need to be further studied.PMID:38513598 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116462 (Source: Biomedicine and pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine and pharmacotherapie)

Prognostic value of inflammation and immune-related gene NOD2 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
In conclusion, NOD2 is a potential prognostic biomarker for ccRCC and the miR-20b-5p/NOD2/IL-8 axis may regulate in flammation- and immune-mediated tumorigenesis in ccRCC. (Source: Human Cell)

Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke Among Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Nationwide Analysis
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been associated with an increased risk for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). As individuals with cancer who experience AIS tend to face higher mortality rates compared to AIS patients without cancer, recognizing the implications of RCC in AIS is crucial for identifying high-risk patients for major complications and directing management strategies.

Genetically driven predisposition leads to an unusually genomic unstable renal cell carcinoma
AbstractRenal cell carcinoma originates from the lining of the proximal convoluted renal tubule and represents the most common type of kidney cancer. Risk factors and comorbidities might be associated to renal cell carcinoma, while a small fraction of 2 –3% emerges from patients with predisposing cancer syndromes, typically associated to hereditary mutations inVHL, folliculin, fumarate hydratase orMET genes. Here, we report a case of renal cell carcinoma in patient with concurrent germline mutations inBRCA1 andRAD51 genes. This case displays an unusual high mutational burden and chromosomal aberrations compared to the ty...

This issue on patent foramen ovale (PFO) is dedicated to my oncologist, Alexandra Drakaki, MD, and the researchers who developed immunotherapy. Without their support, I would not have been alive to help write and edit this compendium on PFO. I had a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in April 2023 and began immunotherapy for metastatic disease in November 2023. I appreciate the opportunity I have been given to describe the research in this field over the past 25 years. (Source: Cardiology Clinics)
