Response to crizotinib treatment for ROS1 p.H1999N mutation and secondary EGFR p.V774M mutation after drug resistance: a Case Report

Abstract Genetic fusion involving the ROS1 gene lead to the constitutive activation of its encoded tyrosine kinase, thereby acting as an oncogenic driver that promotes tumor cell proliferation. Numerous missense mutations in ROS1 are currently classified as variants of unknown...

Contrasting temporal dynamics of fluorescence and photoacoustic signals from Cetuximab-IRDye800 conjugate in EGFR-overexpressing tumors

AbstractMolecular fluorescence imaging is effective for tumor diagnosis but limited by low-depth profiling, which can be addressed by photoacoustic (PA) imaging. However, PA imaging has low sensitivity due to microenvironment-induced effects on exogenous contrast agents. Accordingly, the temporal and biophysical...

Non-linear relationship between BMI and eGFR at admission in elderly patients with hip fractures: a retrospective cross-sectional study

AbstractObjective Previous studies have found that the relationship between changes in BMI and renal function outcomes remains unclear, with both increases and decreases in BMI being associated with a decline in eGFR, especially in the elderly hip fracture population. Therefore,...

Unmasking the common enemy: drug resistance mechanisms across three different EGFR inhibitor generations are associated with co-targetable alterations in extracellular matrix signaling

AbstractBackground Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have transformed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment, offering substantial survival benefits. However, acquired resistance remains a significant obstacle, undermining long-term efficacy. While specific mechanisms of EGFR-TKI resistance have been reported, potential...

Genomic characterization of DNA damage response pathway mutations reveals their adverse impact on EGFR-TKI efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer

AbstractBackground Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) significantly improve survival outcomes in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), tumor clonal evolution under drug pressure inevitably leads to acquired resistance. DNA damage response (DDR) mutations lead...

Dacomitinib in Combination with chemotherapy is effective in lung adenocarcinoma with rare EGFR L747P mutation and bone metastases: a case report

BackgroundRare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations have a low incidence, and their response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has not be Abstract Background: Rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations have a low incidence, and their response to...

Prognostic significance of RICTOR mutations in EGFR-mutant metastatic lung adenocarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract RICTOR, a scaffold protein of the mTORC2 complex, regulates AKT signaling and has been implicated in tumor progression and therapy resistance across multiple cancers. However, the prognostic impact of RICTOR mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma...
