Hairy Cell Leukemia With Aberrant CD5 and CD23 Expression: A Case Report and a Brief Literature Review. (PubMed, Cureus)
Aberrant expression of CD5 and CD23 is extremely rare. We present a case of classical HCL expressing both markers, along with a brief review of the literature emphasizing the diagnostic complexities associated with such aberrancy.

Targeting MEK in cancer and beyond: mechanistic insights and therapeutic opportunities. (PubMed, Lancet)
Beyond oncology, MEK pathway modulation is under investigation in fibrotic, inflammatory, and developmental disorders, although clinical validation remains at an early stage. Building on more than a decade of use in BRAFV600 (ie, Val600)-mutant melanoma, MEK inhibitors continue to be refined through biomarker-guided combination strategies and exploration in additional cancers and non-oncological diseases.

HER-2 gene alterations as biomarker in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with FOLFIRI + cetuximab: findings from the CAPRI-2 GOIM study. (PubMed, ESMO Gastrointest Oncol)
Of note, 6/7 cases with HER-2 mutations exhibited limited benefit from treatment with FOLFIRI plus cetuximab with PFS inferior to 8 months. Taken together, these results highlight the need to test HER-2 gene alterations for patients with RAS/BRAF V600 WT, MSS mCRC, who are candidates for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapies.

Durable response of anaplastic thyroid cancer to pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy: A case report. (PubMed, Hum Vaccin Immunother)
The patient was thereafter treated with a combination of pembrolizumab, nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin, resulting in a sustained near-complete response lasting over 30 months, accompanied by a manageable safety profile. The favorable response in this case suggests that further evaluation of this triplet regimen could be considered for anaplastic thyroid cancer, though this remains a speculative premise requiring validation. Further studies are also needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms of this combination and to identify predictive biomarkers for patient selection.
