Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to explore new strategies to treat bladder cancer. This article addresses challenges and opportunities in intravesical therapy of bladder cancer. RECENT FINDINGS The review examines the latest advances in the development of preclinical approaches for intravesical therapy of bladder cancer. It discusses strategies to improve drug delivery efficiency by using synthesized diverse carriers. Immunotherapy with protein aggregate magnesium-ammonium phospholinoleate-palmitoleate anhydride has been shown to be more effective than intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin. Novel drug delivery systems such the urinary drug-disposing strategy and intravesical nanoparticle formulations improve the drug delivery efficiency while minimizing adverse reactions. Innovative imaging techniques using near-infrared fluorescence probes and multifunctional nano-transformers enable real-time detection and targeted therapy in bladder cancer treatment. SUMMARY Treatment of bladder cancer is clinically challenging. However, recent progress in drug delivery technologies shows promise. Optimizing these technologies helps improve patient outcomes, and facilitates clinical translation of different treatment modalities.

Amide Proton Transfer-Weighted Imaging in Assessing the Aggressive and Proliferative Potential of Bladder Cancer. J Magn Reson Imaging 2024. [PMID: 38822655 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.29464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ki-67 and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are known oncogenes involved in bladder cancer (BCa) patient risk stratification. Preoperative assessment of their expression level can assist in clinical treatment decision-making. Recently, amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) MRI has shown promising potential in the diagnosis of several malignancies. However, few studies reported the value of APTw imaging in evaluating Ki-67 and HER2 status of BCa. PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of APTw MRI in assessing the aggressive and proliferative potential regarding the expression levels of Ki-67 and HER2 in BCa. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. SUBJECTS 114 patients (mean age, 64.78 ± 11.93 [SD] years; 97 men) were studied. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE APTw MRI acquired by a three-dimensional fast-spin-echo sequence at 3.0 T MRI system. ASSESSMENT Patient pathologic findings, included histologic grade and the expression status of Ki-67 and HER2, were reviewed by one uropathologist. The APTw values of BCa were independently measured by two radiologists and were compared between high-/low-tumor grade group, high-/low-Ki-67 expression group, and high-/low-HER2 expression group. STATISTICAL TESTS The interclass correlation coefficient, independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's rank correlation, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were used. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Significantly higher APTw values were found in high-grade BCa patients (7.72% vs. 4.29%, P < 0.001), high-Ki-67 expression BCa patients (8.40% vs. 3.25%, P < 0.001) and HER2 positive BCa patients (8.24% vs. 5.40%, P = 0.001). APTw values were positively correlated with Ki-67 (r = 0.769) and HER2 (r = 0. 356) expression status. The area under the ROC curve of the APTw values for detecting Ki-67 and HER2 expression status were 0.883 (95% CI: 0.790-0.945) and 0.713 (95% CI: 0.592-0.816), respectively. DATA CONCLUSIONS APTw MRI is a potential method to assess the biological and proliferation potential of BCa. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 2.

Abstract
The continuous advancement of molecular detection technology has greatly propelled the development of precision medicine for lung cancer. However, tumor heterogeneity is closely associated with tumor metastasis, recurrence, and drug resistance. Additionally, different lung cancer patients with the same genetic mutation may exhibit varying treatment responses to different therapeutic strategies. Therefore, the development of modern precision medicine urgently requires the precise formulation of personalized treatment strategies through personalized tumor models. Lung cancer organoid (LCO) can highly simulate the biological characteristics of tumor in vivo, facilitating the application of innovative drugs such as antibody-drug conjugate in precision medicine for lung cancer. With the development of co-culture model of LCO with tumor microenvironment and tissue engineering technology such as microfluidic chip, LCO can better preserve the biological characteristics and functions of tumor tissue, further improving high-throughput and automated drug sensitivity experiment. In this review, we combine the latest research progress to summarize the application progress and challenges of LCO in precision medicine for lung cancer.

[PMID: 38173833 PMCID: PMC10761427 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1259784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Urinary tumors primarily consist of kidney, urothelial, and prostate malignancies, which pose significant treatment challenges, particularly in advanced stages. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach, combining monoclonal antibody specificity with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic payloads. This review highlights recent advancements, opportunities, and challenges in ADC application for urinary tumors. We discuss the FDA-approved ADCs and other novel ADCs under investigation, emphasizing their potential to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, we explore strategies to address challenges, such as toxicity management, predictive biomarker identification, and resistance mechanisms. Additionally, we examine the integration of ADCs with other treatment modalities, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, and radiation therapy. By addressing these challenges and exploring innovative approaches, the development of ADCs may significantly enhance therapeutic options and outcomes for patients with advanced urinary tumor.
