Oral and gut microbiota profiles in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer with varying responses to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Recent research has focused on gut bacteria in colorectal cancer, but the influence of other microbiota, including oral and nonbacterial gut microbiota, on treatment efficacy remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to investigate their relationship with the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Saliva and fecal samples were collected f...

Targeting GLUTs in Cancer: Mechanisms, Combination Strategies, and Translational Challenges.

Cancer cells exhibit metabolic reprogramming, most notably the Warburg effect, which underscores their heightened dependency on glucose uptake facilitated by glucose transporters (GLUTs). While targeting GLUTs holds promise for disrupting tumor metabolism, monotherapeutic inhibition often leads to compensatory resistance mechanisms, metabolic plasticity, and dose-limiting toxicity. This review com...
