Focused Ultrasound in Brain Tumors: Mechanisms, Imaging Guidance, and Emerging Clinical Applications.

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is an emerging therapeutic and diagnostic technology in neuro-oncology, offering new strategies for molecular diagnosis, drug delivery, and tumor ablation across a range of brain tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM), brain metastases, and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). The prognosis for aggressive brain tumors remains poor, despite advances in surgery, radiation,...

A Biomimetic Nanozyme Engineered via Coordination and Confinement for Photothermal-Reinforced Catalytic Detection of Extracellular Vesicles and Diagnosis of Cancer.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for liquid biopsy. However, their clinical detection is hampered by heterogeneity and low abundance. Herein, a dual-mode biosensor is constructed based on a biomimetic nanozyme for the highly sensitive and selective detection of tumor-derived EVs (tEVs). The biomimetic nanozyme is engineered through a dual-preservation effect involv...

The density of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes in oesophago-gastric cancer varies with disease stage, geographical region and treatment: a post hoc analysis of nine phase III clinical trials.

BACKGROUND: Tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are a key component of the tumour microenvironment. To establish a clinically relevant TILs cut-off...
