Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), accounting for 90-95% of all pancreatic tumors, is a highly devastating disease associated with poor prognosis. The lack of accurate diagnostic tests and failure of conventional therapies contribute to this pejorative issue. Over the last decade, the advent of theranostics in nuclear medicine has opened...

The chemokine receptors CXCR1/2 play a key role in the aggressiveness of several types of cancers including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). In HNSCCs, CXCR1/2 signaling promotes cell proliferation and angiogenesis leading to tumor growth and metastasis. The competitive inhibitor of CXCR1/2, C29, inhibits the growth of...

Abstract Overcoming acquired drug resistance is a primary challenge in cancer treatment. Notably, more than 50% of patients with BRAFV600E cutaneous metastatic melanoma (CMM) eventually develop resistance to BRAF inhibitors. Resistant cells undergo metabolic reprogramming that profoundly influences therapeutic response and promotes tumor...
