Multiple ESR1 gene fusions have been recently identified in estrogen receptor alpha–positive (ERα+) metastatic breast cancer (depicted by the Circos plot). Active ERα fusion proteins enter the nucleus (depicted by the immunofluorescence) and drive estrogen-independent transcription of estrogen response and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition genes (depicted by the heatmap), which form a diagnostic 24-gene signature (depicted by the ROC curve). This signature accurately diagnosed the presence of active ESR1 fusions and mutations expressed in ERα+ patient-derived xenografts and metastatic breast cancer patients.

Combinatorial CRISPR/Cas9 Screening Reveals Epistatic Networks of Interacting Tumor Suppressor Genes and Therapeutic Targets in Human Breast Cancer
This study provides a roadmap for moving beyond discovery and development of therapeutic strategies based on single driver gene analysis to discovery based on interactions between multiple driver genes.

ANGPTL4-Mediated Promotion of Glycolysis Facilitates the Colonization of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Colorectal Cancer
F. nucleatum colonization in colorectal cancer is regulated by ANGPTL4-mediated glycolysis, suggesting that this axis could be targeted for combined repression of F. nucleatum and cancer progression.

A BRCA1 Coiled-Coil Domain Variant Disrupting PALB2 Interaction Promotes the Development of Mammary Tumors and Confers a Targetable Defect in Homologous Recombination Repair
Heterogeneity of Circulating Tumor Cell–Associated Genomic Gains in Breast Cancer and Its Association with the Host Immune Response
As breast cancers progress, they become more heterogeneous for multiple regions amplified in circulating tumor cells, and intratumoral spatial heterogeneity is associated with the immune landscape.
Translational Science
HER3 Is an Actionable Target in Advanced Prostate Cancer
HER3 is an actionable target in prostate cancer, especially with anti-HER3 immunoconjugates, and targeting HER3 warrants clinical evaluation in prospective trials.
A Combinatorial CRISPR–Cas9 Screen Identifies Ifenprodil as an Adjunct to Sorafenib for Liver Cancer Treatment
Transcriptional Reprogramming Differentiates Active from Inactive ESR1 Fusions in Endocrine Therapy-Refractory Metastatic Breast Cancer
This study identifies a gene signature diagnostic for functional ESR1 fusions that drive poor outcome in advanced breast cancer, which could also help guide precision medicine approaches in patients harboring ESR1 mutations.

Longitudinal SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine-Induced Humoral Immune Responses in Patients with Cancer
Long-term studies of immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with cancer are needed to inform evidence-based guidelines for booster vaccinations and to tailor sequence and timing of vaccinations to elicit improved humoral responses.
