Cancer research continues to yield innovative therapeutic strategies and prognostic biomarkers. From the identification of dual gene overexpression (CDC20 and UBCH10) linked to poor head and neck cancer outcomes, to breakthroughs in ovarian cancer resistance treatment combining Astragalus with cisplatin, the field is evolving rapidly. New biomarkers in AML, glioblastoma, and liver cancer inform disease progression and guide immunotherapy approaches. Additionally, novel immunotherapeutic scaffolds and gene therapies targeting NF1 tumors and glioblastoma show promising preclinical results, underscoring a multi-pronged assault on cancer’s heterogeneity.
