Neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer has made significant progress over the past 20 years, but it still faces limitations such as adverse reactions, organ dysfunction, and unsatisfactory control of distant metastasis. In recent years, with the improvement of surgical techniques and further development of tumor molecular typing research, how to further improve local control rates, reduce distant metastasis rates, and even spare surgery and preserve organs based on clinical response has become the current patient needs and research objectives.

Renal cancer is one of the three major malignancies in the urinary system, with advanced metastatic renal cancer having a poor prognosis and an overall five-year survival rate of less than 20%. Recent advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies have led to significant improvements in treatment outcomes; however, for patients progressing beyond first-line therapies, the quest to extend survival remains an ongoing challenge. At the recently held 8th West China Uro-Oncology Tianfu Academic Conference, Dr. Jun Guo from Peking University Cancer Hospital shared insights into "Future Trends in Cellular Therapy for Renal Cancer," offering new hope for these patients. Following the conference, Oncology Frontier invited Professor Guo to provide further insights.

Renal cancer is one of the three major malignancies in the urinary system. Early-stage renal cancer often presents with concealed symptoms, making it difficult to differentiate between benign and malignant tumors. Advanced renal cancer primarily relies on targeted or immunotherapy, yet the effectiveness of existing targeted drugs is low, and resistance tends to develop easily. Therefore, conducting targeted translational research based on clinical problems offers hope for improving the current state of renal cancer diagnosis and treatment in China. At the 8th West China Uro-Oncology Tianfu Academic Conference held in Chengdu, Oncology Frontier invited Dr. Kan Gong from the Institute of Urology at Peking University and the Department of Urology at Peking University First Hospital to share insights into the current state of renal cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, as well as the highlights of his team’s work in translational research.

2024.11.24
At the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting, in the session dedicated to basic science and translational research, researchers presented groundbreaking findings on driver mutations in pancreatic cancer and their role in predicting patient prognosis and treatment response. The research highlighted significant differences in the diversity of driver gene mutations between healthy pancreatic tissue and tumor tissue, suggesting these differences play a crucial role in the formation and progression of pancreatic cancer. These findings also provide an important basis for personalized treatment. Dr. Francisco Martínez-Jiménez from Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus , Spain, interpreted the main research findings and discussed their clinical implications.
