The 16th annual Frontiers in Cancer Science conference convened leading experts to discuss the latest developments in cancer research. Key research themes included mechanisms of treatment resistance and innovative strategies to target resistant cancer cells, metabolic plasticity and its therapeutic vulnerabilities, modulation of the tumor microenvironment to enhance therapeutic efficacy, recent advances in immunotherapies and engineered immune cells, and strategies to overcome tumor immune evasion. The conference also highlighted the development of advanced spatial transcriptomic technologies as a powerful tool to decipher tumor heterogeneity and identify novel therapeutic targets. Additionally, the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning was explored in optimizing therapy selection, refining prognostication models, and improving patient outcomes, with a focus on advancing personalized, cost-effective cancer care. These collective insights underscore the rapid progress in the field and the potential for translating these discoveries into effective clinical interventions, marking a significant step toward addressing the complexities of cancer biology and enhancing patient care worldwide.

Background: Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological cancer, with fewer than 50% of patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of ovarian cancer from 1990 to 2021 and also project its prevalence to 2050, providing insights into these evolving patterns and helping health policymakers use healthcare resources more effectively.
Methods: This study comprehensively analyzes the original data related to ovarian cancer from the GBD 2021 database, employing a variety of methods including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, age-period-cohort (APC) analysis, decomposition analysis, predictive analysis, frontier analysis, and health inequality analysis.

The advancement of bioorthogonal cleavage platforms has emerged as a critical frontier in chemical biology, offering precise molecular liberation through physiologically compatible activation mechanisms. Despite its significant potential, ensuring efficacy typically requires rapid reaction kinetics, high-efficiency payload release, and stable reactants; however, relevant reports remain sparse. Herein, we developed a strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC)-based click-release chemistry through installation of a carbamate-linked release moiety at the propargyl position of cyclooctyne, triggering a spontaneous elimination following click cycloaddition to achieve efficient payload liberation.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health challenge due to its high incidence, mortality, and low rate of early detection. Early diagnosis, targeting precancerous lesions (advanced adenomas) and early stage CRC (Tis and T1), is critical for improving patient survival. Given the limitations of current detection methods for advanced adenomas, developing high-performance early diagnostic strategies is essential for effective prevention.

Oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) has emerged as a promising and innovative cancer treatment strategy that harnesses engineered viruses to selectively infect, replicate within, and destroys malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues. Beyond direct oncolysis, oncolytic viruses (OVs) exploit tumor-specific metabolic, antiviral, and immunological vulnerabilities to reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) and initiate systemic antitumor immunity. Despite promising results from preclinical and clinical studies, several barriers, including inefficient intratumoral virus delivery, immune clearance, and tumor heterogeneity, continue to limit the therapeutic advantages of OVT as a standalone modality and hindered its clinical success.
