Summary: The primary purpose of ADCs is to increase the efficacy of anticancer medications by minimizing systemic drug distribution and targeting specific cells. Current research focuses on combination trials due to the limited long-term benefits for patients. ADCs' interaction with tumors and their microenvironment has significant therapeutic consequences. Clinical trials are underway to explore the potential use of ADC therapy in various tumor types.

Summary: In recent years, natural active substances from the marine environment have attracted great attention in the development of new antitumor drugs. Although a series of marine-derived compounds with potential antitumor effects have been discovered, their mechanisms of action are still not well understood. Emerging studies have found that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play important roles in the antitumor mechanisms of marine-derived agents. This review summarizes the latest research progress on the regulation of ncRNAs associated with marine-derived agents in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, invasion, migration, drug sensitivity, and resistance. The review also discusses recent advances in marine food-derived ncRNAs as antitumor agents that modulate cross-species gene expression.

Summary: ADC has emerged as an efficient therapeutic approach for various cancers, combining the selective targeting of tumor cells through antigen-directed recognition and potent cell-killing by cytotoxic payloads. The selection of appropriate antibody and drug payload is dictated by the pharmacology of the targeted disease, while there is more flexibility in choosing the conjugating linker. This paper reviews the chemistry of ADCs, focusing on methods that enable the efficient assembly of ADC from its three components and the controlled release of the drug payload.

Summary: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, but the efficacy of conventional treatments is limited. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising approach for selective targeting of cancer cells. Clinical studies have shown promising results and significant progress in ADC-based therapies for gastric cancer. Currently, several ADCs targeting different receptors are being investigated in clinical trials for gastric cancer patients.
