Strong Hsp90α/β Protein Expression in Advanced Primary CRC Indicates Short Survival and Predicts Response to the Hsp90α/β-Specific Inhibitor Pimitespib
3 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
The prognosis of advanced (UICC IIb-IV) primary colorectal cancer (pCRC) remains poor. More effective targeted therapies are needed. Heat shock protein 90 alpha/beta (Hsp90α/β) expression was immunohistologically quantified in 89 pCRCs and multivariately correlated with survival. Pimitespib (Pim, TAS-116), a Hsp90α/β-specific inhibitor, was tested in pCRC cell lines and patient-derived cancer spheroids (PDCS) and...
