With the widespread use of lidocaine for pain control in cancer therapy, its antitumor activity has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This paper provides a simple strategy of combining lidocaine with chemotherapy drugs for cancer therapy, aiming to relieve chemotherapy-induced pain and achieve stronger antitumor efficacy. However, there is still a lack of substantial pre-clinical evidence for the efficacy and related mechanisms of such combinations, obstructing their potential clinical application.

Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is a critical issue in cardio-oncology, as cancer treatments often lead to severe cardiovascular complications. Approximately 10% of cancer patients succumb to cardiovascular problems, with lung cancer patients frequently experiencing arrhythmias, cardiac failure, tamponade, and cardiac metastasis. The cardiotoxic effects of anti-cancer treatments manifest at both cellular and tissue levels, causing deformation of cardiomyocytes, leading to contractility issues and fibrosis.

Background: Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) regulates numerous biological processes and diverse cancers.

Objective: To explore the frequency distribution of METTL3 rs1061026, rs1139130, and rs1263801 polymorphisms, and their potential impacts on clinical outcomes and chemotherapy-induced toxicities in a cohort of Chinese pediatric patients diagnosed with primary brain tumors (PBTs).

Methods: Genotyping for three investigated SNPs was performed in 107 pediatric patients with PBTs using the Sequenom MassARRAY iPLEX platform.

Article Synopsis
  • Metastasis is responsible for 90% of cancer-related deaths, particularly in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), making it essential to understand molecular drivers to find better prognostic markers after chemotherapy.
  • Current chemotherapy treatments like doxorubicin and paclitaxel affect tumor cells in various ways, including activating the unfolded protein response (UPR), with GRP78 playing a significant but controversial role in metastasis.
  • The study identifies subpopulations of GRP78+ and GRP78- cells in TNBC, demonstrating that while GRP78- cells are more invasive, the combination of both subpopulations may influence overall metastatic potential, offering insights for personalized cancer treatment strategies.

Introduction: Chemo-immunotherapy based on inducing tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD)with chemotherapy drugs has filled the gaps between traditional chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It is verified that paclitaxel (PTX) can induce breast tumor ICD. From this basis, a kind of nanoparticle that can efficiently deliver different drug components simultaneously is constructed.
