    查看更多>>摘要:Targeted therapy is crucial for advanced colorectal cancer(CRC)positive for genetic drivers.With advances in deep sequencing technology and new targeted drugs,existing standard molecular pathological detection systems and therapeutic strategies can no longer meet the requirements for careful management of patients with advanced CRC.Thus,rare genetic variations require diagnosis and targeted therapy in clinical practice.Rare gene mutations,amplifications,and rearrangements are usually associated with poor prognosis and poor response to conventional therapy.This review summarizes the clinical diagnosis and treatment of rare genetic variations,in genes including erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2(ERBB2),B-Raf proto-oncogene,serine/threonine kinase(BRAF),ALK receptor tyrosine kinase/ROS proto-oncogene 1,receptor tyrosine kinase(ALK/ROS1),neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinases(NTRKs),ret proto-oncogene(RET),fibroblast growth factor receptor 2(FGFR2),and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),to enhance understanding and identify more accurate personalized treatments for patients with rare genetic variations.

    Advances in MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors in gastric cancer

    查看更多>>摘要:Gastric cancer is among the most frequently occurring cancers and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally.Because gastric cancer is highly heterogenous and comprised of different subtypes with distinct molecular and clinical characteristics,the management of gastric cancer calls for better-defined,biomarker-guided,molecular-based treatment strategies.MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase mediating important physiologic processes,such as embryogenesis,tissue regeneration,and wound healing.However,mounting evidence suggests that aberrant MET pathway activation contributes to tumour proliferation and metastasis in multiple cancer types,including gastric cancer,and is associated with poor patient outcomes.As such,MET-targeting therapies are being actively developed and promising progress has been demonstrated,especially with MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors.This review aims to briefly introduce the role of MET alterations in gastric cancer and summarize in detail the current progress of MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors in this disease area with a focus on savolitinib,tepotinib,capmatinib,and crizotinib.Building on current knowledge,this review further discusses existing challenges in MET alterations testing,possible resistance mechanisms to MET inhibitors,and future directions of MET-targeting therapies.

    查看更多>>摘要:In exploring persistent infections and malignancies,a distinctive subgroup of CD8+T cells,progenitor exhausted CD8+T(Tpex)cells,has been identified.These Tpex cells are notable for their remarkable self-renewal and rapid proliferation abilities.Recent strides in immunotherapy have demonstrated that Tpex cells expand and differentiate into responsive exhausted CD8+T cells,thus underscoring their critical role in the immunotherapeutic retort.Clinical examinations have further clarified a robust positive correlation between the proportional abundance of Tpex cells and enhanced clinical prognosis.Tpex cells have found noteworthy applications in the formulation of inventive immunotherapeutic approaches against tumors.This review describes the functions of Tpex cells in the tumor milieu,particularly their potential utility in tumor immunotherapy.Precisely directing Tpex cells may be essential to achieving successful outcomes in immunotherapy against tumors.
