Abstract KRAS is one of the most mutated genes, driving alternations in metabolic pathways that include enhanced nutrient uptaking, increased glycolysis, elevated glutaminolysis, and heightened synthesis fatty acids nucleotides. However, beyond mechanisms KRAS-modulated cancer metabolisms remain incompletely understood. In this review, we aim to summarize current knowledge on KRAS-related alterations cells explore prevalence significance mutation shaping tumor microenvironment influencing epigenetic modification via various molecular activities. Given rely these changes sustain cell growth survival, targeting processes may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for KRAS-driven cancers.

The polymorphic microbiome is considered a new hallmark of cancer. Advances in High-Throughput Sequencing have fostered rapid developments research. interaction between cancer cells, immune and microbiota defined as the immuno-oncology (IOM) axis. Fungal microbes (the mycobiome), although representing only ∼ 0.1-1% microbiome, are critical immunologically active component tumor microbiome. Accumulating evidence suggests possible involvement commensal pathogenic fungi initiation, progression, treatment responsiveness. tumor-associated mycobiome mainly consists gut mycobiome, oral intratumoral mycobiome. However, role remains poorly understood, diversity complexity analytical methods make it challenging to access this field. This review aims elucidate causal complicit roles development progression while highlighting issues that need be addressed executing such We systematically summarize advantages limitations current fungal detection analysis methods. enumerate integrate these recent findings into our understanding accompanied by prospect novel exhilarating clinical implications.

Cancer is generally regarded as a localised disease, with the well-established role of tumour microenvironment. However, realm cancer goes beyond microenvironment, and should also be systemic environmental disease. The exposome ( ie, totality exposures), which encompasses diets, supplements, smoking, alcohol, other lifestyle factors, medications, etc , likely alters microbiome (inclusive bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi, parasites, ) immune system in various body sites influences phenotypes. metabolic/inflammatory status, influenced by exposures intestinal physiological changes, may affect tissue microenvironment colorectum any organs. Germline genomic factors can modify disease phenotypes via gene-by-environment interactions. Although challenges exist, it crucial to advance not only basic experimental research that analyse effects exposures, microorganisms microenvironmental components on evolution but interdisciplinary human population dissect complex pathogenic roles exposome, immunome. Metagenomic, metatranscriptomic metabolomic analyses integrated into well-designed combined advanced methodologies artificial intelligence molecular pathological epidemiology. Ideally, prospective cohort study design enables biospecimen (such stool) collection before detection considered address reverse causation recall biases. Robust observational together provide insights dynamic interactions between microbiota, immunity during carcinogenesis processes, thereby helping us develop precision prevention therapeutic strategies ultimately reduce burden.
