A Prospective Study of Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The Keystone-001 Trial

Background and Research Motivation Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive cancer, especially in locally advanced stages. Traditional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) is the standard treatment method for this type of cancer. Despite its significant therapeutic effects, local recurrence and distant metastasis rates remai...

The Role of Combined Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CTLA-4 Therapy in Clonal Responses

Role of Combined Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CTLA-4 Therapy in Melanoma Immune Response Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors have made significant progress in clinical oncology, especially anti-PD-1 (anti-programmed death protein 1) and anti-CTLA-4 (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4) therapies, which have been proven to induce long-term re...

Distinct Clinical Outcomes and Biological Features of Specific KRAS Mutants in Human Pancreatic Cancer

Clinical Outcomes and Biological Characteristics Study Report for Pancreatic Cancer Patients with KRAS Mutations Research Background and Objective Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030. Only about 20% of PDAC patients are eligible for resection surgery, thus the five-year sur...

GABAergic Neuronal Lineage Development Determines Clinically Actionable Targets in Diffuse Hemispheric Glioma

Background and Research Objectives High-Grade Glioma (HGG) is a highly lethal primary brain tumor with a particularly high incidence and mortality rate in children and adolescents. HGG can be further divided into several subtypes, among which Diffuse Hemispheric Glioma, H3G34-mutant (DHG-H3G34), is a rare subtype with poor prognosis, mainly occurri...

Coagulation Factor X Promotes Resistance to Androgen-Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer

Study on the Role of Coagulation Factor X in Anti-androgen Resistance in Prostate Cancer Research Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. The occurrence and progression of prostate cancer are highly dependent on the androgen receptor (AR) signaling...

Tumor Architecture and Microenvironment Features in Brain Metastasis of Breast Cancer

Specific Tumor Structures and Microenvironment of Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Brain: A Research Review Research Background Brain metastasis is one of the severe complications faced by breast cancer patients, leading to complex neurological complications and low survival rates, with very limited treatment options. Among the various subtypes of b...
