Case Report: Recurrent phyllodes tumor of the breast with progressive malignant transformation. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient underwent a modified radical mastectomy and three cycles of postoperative systemic chemotherapy with a combination of ifosfamide and cisplatin, which was well-tolerated. This case highlights the progression of PTB from benign to malignant and suggests that elevated Ki-67 and abnormalities in MDM2/p53 could serve as potential molecular markers. For patients with multiple recurrences or heterogeneous PTB components, individualized treatment strategies are recommended, with reference to soft tissue sarcoma protocols to optimize prognosis.

Expanding the spectrum of AFF2 undifferentiated sarcoma associated to endometriosis: a novel ZDHHC9::AFF2 fusion sarcoma with high-grade features and poor prognosis. (PubMed, Pathologica)
The patient underwent chemotherapy with epirubicin and ifosfamide but experienced recurrence with lymph node and peritoneal involvement and succumbed to the disease after 9 months. Moreover, it identifies a novel fusion, which may have implications for tumor classification and diagnostic refinement. The morphological findings also suggest a possible association with poor clinical outcomes.

TROP-2 Promotes Cell Proliferation via the AKT-Mediated PKCα Pathway and Is a Novel Target for Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Penile Carcinoma. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
Current chemotherapy treatments, including the TIP (Taxol, Ifosfamide, Cisplatin) regimen, have shown limited effects but strong side effects in advanced Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) patients. Furthermore, compared with cisplatin, TROP-2 targeted ADC could achieve an equivalent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of PSCC both in vivo and in vitro. TROP-2 promoted PSCC cell proliferation via AKT/PKCα-dependent pathway, and TROP-2-targeted ADC-drug has a gratifying inhibitory effect on PSCC proliferation both in vivo and in vitro.

Prostatic Solitary Fibrous Tumor With Pulmonary Metastases: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
Both lung lesions were surgically resected, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with ifosfamide and doxorubicin. This case emphasizes that even histologically benign-appearing prostatic SFTs can demonstrate malignant potential. It also underscores the necessity of long-term surveillance and contributes to the literature by reporting the first known case of a metastatic SFT originating from the prostate gland.

Integrative diagnostic approach in a rare case of primary thyroid leiomyosarcoma with distant metastasis: a case report and literature review. (PubMed, Gland Surg)
In May 2025, the patient initiated intravenous chemotherapy consisting of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and ifosfamide. This case highlights the importance of early integration of histopathological and molecular evaluation for progressive thyroid lesions. The co-occurrence of NF1 and BCORL1 mutations, along with TP53 and TERT promoter alterations, may underlie the tumor's aggressive biological behavior and supports the incorporation of molecular subtyping strategies in TLS management.

Clinical outcomes and genomic alterations in patients with metastatic malignant phyllodes tumors. (PubMed, Jpn J Clin Oncol)
AI therapy is useful for advanced or recurrent MPTs. The observed clinical benefit of pazopanib in a patient with FGFR1 N546K-mutated MPT suggests that FGFR1 kinase domain mutations may be a relevant factor in responsiveness of FGFR1-targeted therapy. Further data accumulation is warranted.

An antitumoral fraction with casearin-like diterpenes exhibits potent acute anti-inflammatory effectiveness and systemic subchronic toxicity. (PubMed, J Ethnopharmacol)
The anti-inflammatory effects indicate the IL-1β - COX-1 - PGE2 axis may be putatively directly or indirectly deactivated by FC. All findings have actually suggested FC is safer if orally introduced and strongly support its effectiveness, whose pharmacological use relies on time of exposure, dose, frequency, and route.

Central memory-enriched Vγ9Vδ2 γδ T cells via TGF-β expansion demonstrate enhanced in vivo efficacy against metastatic osteosarcoma. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Introducing zoledronate (ZOL) to OS cells augments γδ T cell killing by upregulating phosphoantigens in treated cells, which induces butyrophilin complexes, which are recognized by the TCR of the γδ T cell and significantly increases target cell death in both control and TGF-β expanded γδ T cells. In addition, administering ifosfamide (IFO), a chemotherapy used for relapsed OS, induces stress antigens in OS cell lines that are recognized by NKG2D receptors on γδ T cells, which enhances γδ T cell killing. In vivo studies show the administration of TGF-β expanded γδ T cells, when combined with ZOL and IFO significantly increased overall survival in OS-bearing mice, which we show can be attributed, at least in part, to increased persistence compared to control cells. Together, these data demonstrate this chemoimmunotherapy strategy, which engages various targeting mechanisms of γδ T cells, significantly enhances killing of OS.

The patient underwent 4 courses of chemotherapy with ifosfamide and pirarubicin. The findings from this case highlight the morphologic and immunohistochemical features that are diagnostic of this rare uterine tumor. Furthermore, this report summarizes the morphologic criteria for malignancy and the key points for its differential diagnosis.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in early childhood: a case report of a diagnostic challenge. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
She received six cycles of ifosfamide and doxorubicin, followed by a second excision, which showed persistent tumor activity. Both surgery and chemotherapy have been shown to enhance outcomes. Ongoing monitoring is crucial, and additional research on MEK inhibitors and genetic profiling is imperative for tailoring treatment strategies.
