Emerging evidence highlights their significant association with cancer occurrence, progression, prognosis, and therapeutic resistance, positioning lncRNAs as promising molecular targets for tumor detection and treatment. Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death characterized by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, has gained attention as a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer, complementing existing modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted molecular therapy. Recent research demonstrates that lncRNAs modulate ferroptosis in solid tumors, thereby influencing tumor cell invasion, metastasis, and proliferation. Inducing ferroptosis has been shown to inhibit tumor growth, reduce chemoresistance, and enhance radiotherapy efficacy. This review explores recent advancements in understanding the role of lncRNAs in tumor ferroptosis, with a focus on their involvement in iron metabolism and their potential as therapeutic targets in cancer combination therapies.","PeriodicalId":48943,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated geographical discrepancies between residential addresses and cancer treatment hospitals in patients aged 0-39 in Japan between 2016 and 2019. Using Japan's National Population-Based Cancer Registry data (n = 99,968), we classified the cases into 10 diagnostic groups and four age groups: 0-14, 15-19, 20-29, and 30-39. Using five types of hospital groups, we examined the origin-destination relationships between patients' residences and hospitals at the prefecture and Secondary Medical Area (SMA) levels via cross-tabulation, summarizing the results using descriptive statistics and heat maps. Generalized Estimating Equation analysis was performed to investigate the factors associated with receiving treatment outside the residential prefecture based on individual data. The median percentage of patients receiving treatment within their residential prefecture was 81.82% or higher across age groups and hospital groups. At the SMA level, the percentage ranged from 0% to 57.00% (median)-minimum 0.0% and maximum 100.0%. Model analysis revealed that patients with retinoblastoma (adjusted risk ratio: 5.45) and those living in metropolitan (Tokyo: 3.73, Osaka: 2.00) and non-metropolitan and depopulated (1.67) areas were significantly more likely to travel outside their residential prefectures. These findings reveal that Japan faces geographical discrepancies in access to cancer care, particularly for specific cancer types and areas. These findings can inform targeted interventions to support equitable access to specialized cancer care for young Japanese patients.","PeriodicalId":48943,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a paucity of large population-based studies comparing the prognosis of MBC patients to FBC patients in Japan. This study analyzed 181,540 breast cancer cases, 1058 (0.6%) males and 180,482 (99.4%) females, from 12 prefectures in Japan diagnosed between 1993 and 2011. Five- and ten-year net survival (NS) were estimated and stratified by sex, period, age, stage, and histological groups. Excess hazard ratios (EHR) were adjusted for period, age, stage, and histological group. Cochran's Q test was utilized to assess heterogeneity across these factors. The overall 5- and 10-year NS estimates for MBC patients were 90.7% (95% CI: 86.3%-93.7%) and 83.7% (95% CI: 72.2%-90.8%), respectively, while those for FBC patients were 88.3% (95% CI: 88.1%-88.5%) and 79.1% (95% CI: 78.7%-79.4%), respectively. The survival of MBC patients was comparable to that of FBC patients, with EHR of 0.88 [95% CI: 0.70-1.09] and 0.86 [95% CI: 0.69-1.07] for 5- and 10-year survival, respectively.

Therefore, combining MLN8237 with other agents at lower doses may provide a viable alternative. In this study, we evaluated the combination of MLN8237 with the BH3 mimetic ABT263 for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We found that this combination significantly suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in immunocompetent syngeneic mouse models, whereas its efficacy was attenuated in immunodeficient xenograft models. Mechanistic studies revealed that the combination enhanced anti-tumor immunity by increasing the presence of CD8+ T cells and NK cells, while reducing the number of immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment. This shift resulted in elevated levels of IFN-γ and granzyme B, which activated the extrinsic apoptotic pathways in cancer cells. Notably, the combination treatment did not affect tumor cell proliferation but promoted apoptosis with minimal toxicity. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of MLN8237 and ABT263 in inducing intrinsic apoptosis was primarily driven by the inhibition of the AKT-Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL survival pathways in cultured tumor cells. Together, these findings support the MLN8237-ABT263 combination as an effective treatment strategy for TNBC, promoting both immune-mediated extrinsic apoptosis and inactivation of Bcl-xL/Mcl-1-dependent intrinsic anti-apoptotic pathways.","PeriodicalId":48943,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate its clinical utility, we analyzed 1356 cases from the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT) database. Oncogenic genomic alterations were identified in 91.5% of cases. Somatic mutations were the most prevalent, followed by amplifications and fusion/exon skipping events. The DNA panel, covering 737 genes, detected not only alterations relevant to therapeutic decisions but also those providing insights into tumor biology. Among the latter, frequently observed examples included mutations in KMT2C (n = 28) and ARID1B (n = 24), and amplifications in GLI1 (n = 14) and YAP1 (n = 10), which are not included in other CGP tests approved in Japan. The RNA panel identified 105 fusion events, including 11 NTRK fusions (0.8%), of which five were NTRK3 fusions: two with the well-known ETV6-NTRK3 fusion and three with non-ETV6 partners. Forty-nine of these fusions were diagnostically significant, highlighting the utility of the RNA panel. Amplification-RNA expression analyses revealed strong correlations for MDM2, CDK4, EGFR, and ERBB2. In contrast, weaker correlations observed for MYC and FGFR1 highlighted the need for careful interpretation of amplification in these genes. Cancer type significantly influenced RNA expression, with KIT and TERT mutations linked to increased expression and significant overexpression observed in ALK, FGFR3, NTRK1, NTRK3, and RET fusions. In summary, this study demonstrated the real-world clinical utility of the dual DNA-RNA CGP test and provided a valuable resource for interpreting RNA expressions.","PeriodicalId":48943,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
