Therapeutic strategies for KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer: from bench to bedside and beyond

KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in lung adenocarcinoma, with mutation rates ranging Highlights • First comprehensive synthesis of monotherapy and combination strategies for KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC, integrating latest clinical...

Optimized lipid nanoparticles for pulmonary delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 targeting KRAS G12S in lung cancer

Abstract KRAS G12S mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain refractory to current targeted therapies, with few clinical options and frequent resistance. While CRISPR/Cas9 enables mutation-specific gene disruption, its pulmonary application is limited by systemic clearance, hepatic tropism, and...

KRAS-mutant advanced NSCLC: efficacy and clinical outcomes from network meta-analysis and real-world evidence

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for approximately 85% of all cases [1]. KRAS mutation is one of the most common driver alterations in NSCLC, especially in...
