Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) is a highly conserved protein essential for DNA replication, repair and scaffold functions in the cytosol. Specific inhibition of PCNA in cancer cells is an attractive anti-cancer strategy. ATX-101 is a first-in-class drug targeting PCNA, primarily in cellular stress regulation.

Background: Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare tumour with clinical behaviour covering a spectrum from indolent to aggressive disease. Treatment recommendations are currently based on case reports and small series describing combinations of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy providing the best patient outcomes. Recent knowledge on molecular aberrations in this disease have not yet impacted on therapeutic decisions.

Article Synopsis
  • This feasibility study focused on detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with advanced endometrial cancer and assessing their suitability for molecular profiling.
  • Out of 30 patients, 60% had detectable CTCs, with a higher prevalence observed in those with more aggressive tumor characteristics and a poorer prognosis.
  • The findings suggest that analyzing CTCs and their stathmin expression is a viable method for molecular profiling in advanced endometrial cancer.
