Article Abstract
Currently, the effectiveness of oncotherapy is limited by tumor heterogeneities, which presents a huge challenge for the development of nanotargeted drug delivery systems (DDSs). Therefore, it is important to resolve the spatiotemporal interactions between tumors and nanoparticles. However, targeting evaluation has been limited by particle visualization due to the gap between whole-organ scale and subcellular precision. Here, a high-precision three-dimensional (3D) visualization of tumor structure based on the micro-optical sectioning tomography (MOST) system and fluorescence MOST (fMOST) system is presented to clarify 3D spatial distribution of nanoparticles within the tumor. We demonstrate that through the MOST/fMOST system, it is possible to reveal multidimensional and cross-scale correlations between the tumor structure and nanoparticle distribution to remodel the tumor microenvironment and explore the structural parameters of vasculature. This visualization methodology provides an accurate assessment of the efficacy, distribution, and targeting efficiency of DDSs for oncotherapy compared to available approaches.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a significant public health burden in developing countries, where access to early diagnosis, comprehensive care, and research infrastructure is limited. This article synthesizes the insights generated during a Fireside Chat convened by members of the Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group (LACOG)-Head and Neck and the Brazilian Group of Head and Neck Cancer (GBCP), with the participation of international expert Professor Hisham Mehanna. The discussion addressed key challenges and opportunities in clinical and translational research within resource-constrained settings.

Purpose: To reassess the anatomic basis of optic disc pit maculopathy (OPM) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to characterize the broader structural abnormalities comprising the optic pit complex.
Methods: Sixteen patients with OPM were imaged using a high-resolution SS-OCT system (DREAM OCT). Cross-sectional and volume-rendered scans were analyzed for lamina cribrosa defects, intraneural cavitations, and pathways for fluid entry into or beneath the retina.

Breast cancer (BC), characterized by its heterogeneity and diverse subtypes, necessitates personalized treatment strategies. This study presents MF3Ec-TBPP nanoparticles (NPs) as a promising approach, integrating an aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based photosensitizer, TBPP, with the MF3Ec aptamer to enhance targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) for Luminal A subtype BC cells. The nanoparticles also feature a 1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-poly(ethylene glycol) shell and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), which stabilize the structure and inhibit singlet oxygen generation, effectively reducing off-target effects and protecting healthy tissues.

This study focuses on designing and developing a novel three-dimensional porphyrinic covalent organic framework (3D-Por-COF) to enhance anticancer sono-photodynamic therapy (SPDT). Leveraging the unique structural advantages of 3D COFs, this work addresses the limitations of traditional 2D-Por-COFs, particularly regarding reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and therapeutic efficacy. The newly developed 3D-Por-COF demonstrated significantly higher ROS generation under combined sonodynamic and photodynamic conditions, leading to an improved therapeutic effect against prostate cancer cells.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is an attractive biomarker for tumor-targeting radioligands. While [Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 is a promising FAP-targeting radioligand for cancer diagnosis, clinical application of [Lu]Lu-FAPI-46 for targeted radionuclide therapy is limited due to its insufficient tumor retention. Albumin binder (ALB) including 4-(-iodophenyl)butyric acid is widely utilized to improve tumor accumulation of radioligands.
