Research on the changes that occur during the early stages of cancer development could help identify strategies to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Prospective and retrospective cohorts of patients with pulmonary nodules were analyzed by single-cell RNA-seq, flow cytometry, and multiplex immunofluorescence to provide a comprehensive atlas of the cellular composition of early-stage lung cancer. Immune profiling revealed a progressive decline in cell-mediated responses with disease progression. The cover image shows multiplex immunofluorescence images of a preinvasive adenocarcinoma in situ lesion (left) and an invasive adenocarcinoma (right) labeled with DAPI (blue), PanCK (cyan), CD3 (green), CD8 (red), GzmB (white), FOXP3 (yellow), and Ki-67 (orange).

Allosteric Regulation of Switch-II Domain Controls KRAS Oncogenicity
An allosteric network formed by interaction between lysine 104 and residues in the switch-II domain is required for KRAS oncogenicity, which could be exploited for developing inhibitors of the activated oncoprotein.
Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel Is a Safe and Effective Therapeutic Strategy for Treating Mucinous Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma
The activity and safety of intraperitoneal paclitaxel in orthotopic PDX models of mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinoma supports the evaluation of intraperitoneal paclitaxel in a prospective clinical trial of this rare tumor type.
Cancer Biology
Androgen Receptor Variants Confer Castration Resistance in Prostate Cancer by Counteracting Antiandrogen-Induced Ferroptosis
Upregulation of SLC7A11 can be induced by androgen receptor variants to inhibit antiandrogen-induced prostate cancer cell ferroptosis and to drive castration resistance in prostate cancer.
Cancer Immunology
Galectin-1 Mediates Chronic STING Activation in Tumors to Promote Metastasis through MDSC Recruitment
Galectin-1 increases STING stability in cancer cells that activates NF-κB signaling and CXCL2 expression to promote MDSC trafficking, which stimulates the generation of a pre-metastatic niche and facilitates metastatic progression.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
LncRNA AGPG Confers Endocrine Resistance in Breast Cancer by Promoting E2F1 Activity
Blockade of formation of the PURα/E2F1 complex by lncRNA AGPG activates E2F1 and promotes endocrine resistance, providing potential strategies for combatting endocrine- resistant breast cancer.
Translational Cancer Biology
Kinome Reprogramming Is a Targetable Vulnerability in ESR1 Fusion-Driven Breast Cancer
Kinome analysis of ESR1 translocated and mutated breast tumors using drug bead-based mass spectrometry followed by drug-sensitivity studies nominates RET as a therapeutic target.
Tipifarnib Potentiates the Antitumor Effects of PI3Kα Inhibition in PIK3CA- and HRAS-Dysregulated HNSCC via Convergent Inhibition of mTOR Activity
The mechanistically designed, biomarker-matched strategy of combining alpelisib and tipifarnib is efficacious in PIK3CA- and HRAS-dysregulated head and neck squamous carcinoma and could improve outcomes for many patients with recurrent, metastatic disease.
Abemaciclib Is Effective in Palbociclib-Resistant Hormone Receptor–Positive Metastatic Breast Cancers
Palbociclib-resistant breast cancers respond to abemaciclib and express pathway-specific signatures of sensitivity, providing a biomarker-driven therapeutic option for patients with metastatic breast cancer following disease progression on cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 inhibitors.
Endocrine Therapy Synergizes with SMAC Mimetics to Potentiate Antigen Presentation and Tumor Regression in Hormone Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer
Adding SMAC mimetics to endocrine therapy enhances tumor regression in a cell autonomous manner while increasing tumor immunogenicity, indicating that this combination could be an effective treatment for HR+ patients with breast cancer.

Single-Cell Characterization of Pulmonary Nodules Implicates Suppression of Immunosurveillance across Early Stages of Lung Adenocarcinoma
Analysis of a spectrum of subsolid pulmonary nodules by single-cell RNA sequencing provides insights into the immune regulation and cell–cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment during early lung tumor development.
