CRC therapy is no longer linear. It’s a network. 🧬 This figure beautifully captures the shift: From single-target inhibition → to multi-node pathway control TME modulation 🔬 MAPK backbone (RAS → RAF → MEK → ERK) Everything converges here - and resistance emerges here. 🎯 What’s new 🟠 KRAS targeting has evolved • G12C OFF inhibitors (sotorasib, adagrasib) • RAS(ON) inhibitors → broader allele coverage • PROTAC degraders on the horizon 👉 Monotherapy fails → EGFR co-blockade is essential 🔵 BRAF strategy is combination-driven • BRAF EGFR ± MEK now standard • Next-gen “paradox breakers” incoming 🟢 Upstream & parallel pathways • SHP2 / SOS1 inhibition to suppress signaling flux • MET, HER2, EGFR co-targeting 🧪 Beyond MAPK • ADCs (HER2, CEACAM5, CLDN18.2) • Bispecifics & T-cell engagers • ATR / WEE1 (DDR targeting) • Immunotherapy TME modulation 💡 Takeaway CRC is no longer about “one mutation, one drug.” It’s about: ➡️ Pathway interception at multiple levels ➡️ Adaptive resistance control ➡️ Biomarker-driven combinations 📖 Full paper in comment ⬇️ #OncoTwitter #MedTwitter #CRC #PrecisionOncology @OncoAlert @myESMO @ASCO @JCO_ASCO @esmo_open

In the age of targeted therapy “the old” HER2 still has importance - in this case on a extra hepatic bile duct cancer

Tuning IHC is sometimes a difficult task, but when it works it's fantastic. GATA6 enters the battle!

34 w.o. fetus. several gas-containing "bubbles" all around the abdominal organs. no epithelial lining on the "cysts" and only in the liver, there seem to be some microorganisms - waiting for stains. seems like diffuse pneumatosis. Any clues? @leon_metlay
