Background: Treatment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma largely involves surgical excision. Few studies have examined oncologic outcomes of tumors managed by watchful waiting when the lesion appears resolved after the biopsy site has healed.
Objective: To describe oncologic outcomes for patients diagnosed with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma that was determined clinically resolved at follow-up and subsequently managed by watchful waiting.
RAS is a common driver of cancer that was considered undruggable for decades. Recent advances have enabled the development of RAS inhibitors, but the efficacy of these inhibitors remains limited by resistance. Here, we developed a pan-RAS inhibitor, ADT-007, that binds nucleotide-free RAS to block GTP activation of effector interactions and MAPK/AKT signaling, resulting in mitotic arrest and apoptosis.

Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large 't Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics.
