This review traces #precancer history and biology, spotlighting dysregulated TGF-β, p53, Wnt, PI3K, and MAPK pathways and a “soil degeneration” hypothesis favoring #microenvironmental dominance with dual-window interventions.

Researchers develop a #PSMA‑targeted self‑assembling nano‑PROTAC that simultaneously degrades AR, AR‑V7, and HSP90 in #CRPC, overcoming resistance to AR inhibitors, achieving potent #antitumor activity with tumor‑specific accumulation.

This #STTT study shows that SLC5A3 in small #ExtracellularVesicles (sEVs) serves as a predictive diagnostic #Biomarker in #PancreaticCancer, suggesting that sEVs function as hubs for producing signalling molecules within target cells.

Researchers reveal #ferroptosis as a targetable vulnerability in #ChronicLymphocyticLeukemia, showing that BTK inhibition increases iron uptake via TFRC, and combining #ibrutinib with #GPX4 or ACSL1 targeting enhances ferroptosis.

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.
