|
| Investigators conducted a randomized Phase II trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of dual-HER2 inhibition against standard-of-care anti-EGFR antibody–based therapy as second/third-line treatment in HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer. [Journal of Clinical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated intrinsic resistance mechanisms to KRAS inhibitors using patient-derived colorectal cancer cells (CRC-PDCs). They found that KRAS-mutated CRC-PDCs could be divided into at least an EGFR pathway-activated group and a PI3K/AKT pathway-activated group. [NPJ Precision Oncology] |

|
|
| Researchers showed that inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation similarly suppressed the proliferation and tumorigenicity of glycolytically competent colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in vitro and in patient-derived CRC xenografts. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| Forkhead Box D1 (FOXD1) knock down in the non-β1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (B4GALNT2) expresser cell line SW948 stimulated B4GALNT2. Thus, FOXD1 and miR-204-5p emerged as crucial new player of B4GALNT2 down-regulation in colorectal cancer. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers suggested that G-protein gamma subunit 2 (GNG2) contributed to tumor suppression in colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly in preventing brain metastasis, and could serve as a promising biomarker and treatment target for metastatic CRC. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators assessed MIR210 host gene (MIR210HG) expression in colon cancer cell lines and tissues, and examined the effects of its overexpression and knockdown on cell proliferation. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| The authors underscore the need for continued research on polysaccharide-based colon-targeted drug delivery systems for colon cancer treatment, offering a path toward more effective, patient-centered oncological care. [International Journal of Biological Macromolecules] |

| China’s NMPA has approved Astellas Pharma’s VYLOYTM, in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
