Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have emerged as a leading targeted cancer therapy, reducing the side effects often seen with non-targeted treatments, especially damage to healthy cells. To tackle resistance, typically caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, four generations of TKIs been developed. Each generation has shown improved effectiveness and fewer effects, resulting in better patient outcomes. For example, patients on gefitinib, first-generation TKI, experienced progression-free survival (PFS) 10 months compared 5 conventional chemotherapy. Second-generation TKI afatinib outperformed erlotinib extended PFS 11.1 6.9 cisplatin. Third-generation further increased 38.6 months, 31.8 TKIs. This progress demonstrates ability newer overcome particularly T790M mutation, while adverse effects. Ongoing research focuses overcoming resistance from mutations like C797S improve survival. These developments highlight significant therapy continued effort refine treatment. Recent South Korea shows that third-generation are ineffective against non-small cell lung (NSCLC) mutation. Several trials started showing promising vitro vivo results, but more needed before clinical approval. review underscores notable advancements field EGFR TKIs, offering comprehensive analysis their mechanisms action progression various response resistance.

Cancer is a severe public health issue that leading cause of mortality globally. It also an impediment to improving life expectancy worldwide. Furthermore, the global burden cancer incidence and death continuously growing. Current therapeutic options are insufficient for patients, tumor complexity heterogeneity necessitate customized medicine or targeted therapy. critical identify potential targets. Aberrant activation PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway has significant role in carcinogenesis. This review summarized oncogenic PI3K/Akt/mTOR alterations various hallmarks associated with pathway, such as cell proliferation, autophagy, apoptosis, angiogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), chemoresistance. Importantly, this provided recent advances inhibitor research. Overall, in-depth understanding association between tumorigenesis development therapies targeting will help make clinical decisions.

Liver cancer is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Representing such a dramatic impact on our lives, liver significant public health concern. Sustainable and reliable methods for preventing treating require fundamental research its molecular mechanisms. Cell lines are treated as in vitro equivalents tumor tissues, making them must-have basic nature cancer. According to recent discoveries, certified cell retain most genetic properties original mimic microenvironment. On other hand, modern technologies allowing deepest level detail omics landscapes have shown differences even between samples same line due cross- mycoplasma infection. This observations suggest that, some cases, cultures not suitable models, with limited predictive value effectiveness new treatments. HepG2 popular hepatic line.

The overall burden of cancer is rapidly increasing worldwide, reflecting not only population growth and aging, but also the prevalence spread risk factors. Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including stomach, liver, esophageal, pancreatic, colorectal represent more than a quarter all cancers. While smoking alcohol use are factors most commonly associated with development, growing consensus includes dietary habits as relevant for GI Current evidence suggests that socioeconomic development results in several lifestyle modifications, shifts from local traditional diets to less-healthy Western diets. Moreover, recent data indicate increased production consumption processed foods underlies current pandemics obesity related metabolic disorders, which directly or indirectly emergence various chronic noncommunicable conditions However, environmental changes restricted patterns, unhealthy behavioral features should be analyzed holistic view lifestyle. In this review, we discussed epidemiological aspects, gut dysbiosis, cellular molecular characteristics cancers explored impact behaviors, diet, physical activity on developing context progressive societal changes.
