Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising biomarker for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) risk stratification and treatment response assessment, but real-world studies were limited. Using a targeted sequencing approach (521-gene panel), we showed that (1) baseline ctDNA level correlated with tumour burden and was an independent predictor of treatment outcome, (2) achievement of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity was associated with a better treatment outcome and (3) interim MRD-positivity combined with positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan-positivity identified a high-risk subgroup of DLBCL patients. Baseline ctDNA level and treatment related achievement of MRD negativity are valuable prognostic tools in DLBCL to improve risk stratification in routine clinical practice.

Monocyte-derived macrophages (mo-macs) often drive immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and tumour-enhanced myelopoiesis in the bone marrow fuels these populations. Here we performed paired transcriptome and chromatin accessibility analysis over the continuum of myeloid progenitors, circulating monocytes and tumour-infiltrating mo-macs in mice and in patients with lung cancer to identify myeloid progenitor programs that fuel pro-tumorigenic mo-macs. We show that lung tumours prime accessibility for Nfe2l2 (NRF2) in bone marrow myeloid progenitors as a cytoprotective response to oxidative stress, enhancing myelopoiesis while dampening interferon response and promoting immunosuppression.

PEGylated dendrimers have emerged as highly adaptable nanocarriers for targeted cancer therapy, offering exceptional control over size, surface functionality, and drug loading. The covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to dendrimer surfaces improves biocompatibility, enhances circulation time, and minimizes immune clearance, facilitating passive tumor targeting through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. These engineered nanosystems allow for precise encapsulation or conjugation of chemotherapeutic agents, nucleic acids, and imaging probes, with tunable release profiles.

Cancer induced skeletal muscle wasting (cachexia) is responsible for over 20% of cancer related deaths, yet much about the pathophysiology of the condition remains unknown. Importantly, cancer cachexia does not seem wholly responsive to traditional anabolic stimuli such as nutritional interventions. It is possible that tumours directly or indirectly target skeletal muscle for their dynamic and abundant pool of amino acids that can be reliably used by tumours to supplement energy production and biomass synthesis.

Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with SMARCA4 deficiency represents a rare subset of lung tumors characterized by early metastasis, poor response to chemotherapy, and unfavorable prognosis. Established therapy strategies for SMARCA4-deficient NSCLC remain elusive. While immune checkpoint inhibitors have been proposed as a potential solution, their efficacy remains uncertain.
