    Abstract The term variant histology renal cell carcinomas (vhRCCs), also known as non-clear cell RCCs, refers to a diverse group of malignancies with distinct biologic and therapeutic considerations. The management of vhRCC subtypes is often based on extrapolating results from the more common clear cell RCC studies or basket trials that are not specific to each histology. The unique management of each vhRCC subtype necessitates accurate pathologic diagnosis and dedicated research efforts. Herein, we discuss tailored recommendations for each vhRCC histology informed by ongoing research and clinical experience.

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still one of the deadliest cancers in oncology because of its increasing incidence and poor survival rate. More than 90% of PDAC patients are KRAS mutated (KRASmu), with KRASG12D and KRASG12V being the most common mutations. Despite this critical role, its characteristics have made direct targeting of the RAS protein extremely difficult. KRAS regulates development, cell growth, epigenetically dysregulated differentiation, and survival in PDAC through activation of key downstream pathways, such as MAPK-ERK and PI3K-AKT-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, in a KRAS-dependent manner. KRASmu induces the occurrence of acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and leads to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). In this context, the oncogenic mutation of KRAS induces an epigenetic program that leads to the initiation of PDAC. Several studies have identified multiple direct and indirect inhibitors of KRAS signaling. Therefore, KRAS dependency is so essential in KRASmu PDAC that cancer cells have secured several compensatory escape mechanisms to counteract the efficacy of KRAS inhibitors, such as activation of MEK/ERK signaling or YAP1 upregulation. This review will provide insights into KRAS dependency in PDAC and analyze recent data on inhibitors of KRAS signaling, focusing on how cancer cells establish compensatory escape mechanisms.

    Abstract Dedifferentiation in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), either sarcomatoid or rhabdoid, is an infrequent event that may occur heterogeneously in the setting of any RCC histology and is associated with poor outcomes. Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is associated with inferior survival with angiogenesis targeted therapy and infrequent responses to cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, immune checkpoint therapy has significantly improved outcomes for patients with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation. Biologically, sarcomatoid dedifferentiation has increased programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and an inflamed tumor microenvironment, in addition to other distinct molecular alterations. Less is known about rhabdoid dedifferentiation from either a clinical, biological, or therapeutic perspective. In this focused review, we will discuss the prognostic implications, outcomes with systemic therapy, and underlying biology in RCC with either sarcomatoid or rhabdoid dedifferentiation present.

    Abstract Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a lethal disease that predominantly afflicts young individuals with sickle cell trait. Our recently reported molecular profiling of primary untreated RMC tissues elucidated distinct genomic and immune hallmarks of RMC, and identified MYC-induced replication stress as a targetable vulnerability for this disease.

    Abstract The therapeutic options for advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) have drastically evolved over the past 20 years. High-dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2), which led to durable complete responses in a small fraction of patients by activating the interleukin-2 (IL-2) pathway, faded in popularity with the advent of oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors directed against the VEGF pathway (VEGFR-TKI) showing better tolerability, wider applicability, higher objective response rates, and longer progression-free survival than HD IL-2. More recently, new insights on how to more efficiently harness the immune system led to the development of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies, which rapidly became an integral component of mRCC treatment. The recently approved regimen combining the PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab, and the CTLA-4 inhibitor, ipilimumab, and the recently approved regimens combining the oral VEGFR-TKI, axitinib, with the PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, or the PD-L1 inhibitor, avelumab, were shown to yield improved outcomes compared with sunitinib, the VEGFR-TKI that was used as a comparator. The present review discusses the evidence behind the treatment approvals for mRCC and provides an overview of the current therapeutic landscape. We evaluated the results of randomized clinical trials for mRCC based on the effect size differences between treatments on relative scales and used second-generation p-values as a descriptive summary of the statistical evidence.

    Abstract Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) is a broad term that refers to a diverse group of tumors, each with its own distinct biologic and therapeutic profile. The management of nccRCCs is often based on extrapolating data from clinical trials in the more common clear cell renal cell carcinoma, but our emerging prospective and retrospective clinical experience in nccRCC allows us to make more precise recommendations tailored to each histology. The systemic therapy options for metastatic nccRCC include targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and, for specific rare subtypes, cytotoxic chemotherapy. Each nccRCC histology may respond differently to these regimens, which makes accurate pathologic diagnosis imperative. In the present review, we discuss the available clinical and biological data that can help guide systemic therapy recommendations for specific nccRCC subtypes.

    Abstract Intestinal fibrosis is an inevitable complication in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], occurring in its two major clinical manifestations: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Fibrosis represents the final outcome of the host reaction to persistent inflammation, which triggers a prolonged wound healing response resulting in the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, eventually leading to intestinal dysfunction. The process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition [EMT] represents an embryonic program relaunched during wound healing, fibrosis and cancer. Here we discuss the initial observations and the most recent findings highlighting the role of EMT in IBD-associated intestinal fibrosis and fistulae formation. In addition, we briefly review knowledge on the cognate process of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition [EndMT]. Understanding EMT functionality and the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of this mesenchymal programme will permit designing new therapeutic strategies to halt the fibrogenic response in the intestine.
