Researchers at the University of Chicago have shed light on the role of tumor-promoting factors induced by radiotherapy and their potential impact on future therapeutic strategies. The article, published in Nature on May 14, 2025, points to radiation-induced amphiregulin as a key driver of tumor metastasis.
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare but aggressive form of thyroid cancer, accounting for nearly 50% of thyroid cancer-related deaths. Given its poor prognosis, the identification of new therapeutic strategies is a critical medical need. Molecular radiotherapy is an emerging field in oncology, and CD44v6, a cell surface antigen overexpressed in several cancers, has been proposed as a promising target for ATC treatment.
Although radiotherapy is widely used in cancer treatment, its effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME) can be immunosuppressive as well as immunostimulatory. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in several tumors, with higher levels linked to a weakened immune response to immune checkpoint blockade in patients.
Chinese researchers and their collaborators have published data on the bifunctional antibody JS-201, which exerts dual targeting of PD-1 and TGF-β signaling, for the potential treatment of cancer and its protective role against radiation-induced lung injury.

A study presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology on Oct. 1 offers promise for the treatment of high-grade gliomas using Elekta AB’s Unity MR-Linac system.
Resistance to radiotherapy is a crucial factor in the outcome of colorectal cancer (CRC). The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway plays a key role in cell growth, differentiation, proliferation and immune function.
