Preoperative breast cancer screening before chest masculinization surgery. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
Preoperative breast cancer imaging before GACMS identified malignancies that significantly influenced surgical planning, preventing additional procedures postoperatively. Implementing a decision-making algorithm could guide and standardize breast imaging before GACMS.

PAK1 inhibition synergistically enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancers. (PubMed, Genes Dis)
Using cell line-derived xenograft, patient-derived organoid, and patient-derived xenograft models, we discovered that IPA-3 potentiated the therapeutic efficacy of olaparib both in vivo and ex vivo. Collectively, our findings suggest that targeting PAK1 might offer a new avenue for increasing the sensitivity of olaparib and improving the outcomes of ovarian cancer patients.

Advancing precision medicine in pancreatic cancer using novel biomarkers and clinical targets. (PubMed, Mol Aspects Med)
In this review, we critically evaluate the clinical relevance of molecular, metabolic, and microenvironmental determinants of PDAC progression and therapeutic resistance. We focus on translational bottlenecks that have limited clinical success to date and highlight biomarker-driven strategies, ongoing clinical trials, and emerging technologies poised to shift treatment from uniform algorithms toward biologically informed, patient-specific therapeutic approaches in pancreatic cancer.

Eprenetapopt in combination with carboplatin in high-grade ovarian and triple negative breast cancer cell lines with acquired resistance to olaparib. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Combining eprenetapopt with carboplatin shows promising preclinical efficacy by enhancing cytotoxicity in olaparib-resistant models and demonstrating synergistic interaction; these data support the combination as a potential strategy to mitigate PARPi resistance and carboplatin cross-resistance in TP53 mutant HGSOC and TNBC cell lines. Although further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic effect, here we point out the combination of eprenetapopt and carboplatin as a potential therapeutic strategy to address olaparib resistance in HGSOC and TNBC patients.

The use of cell-free DNA (cfDNA)/circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to guide treatment selection in metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Pharmacogenomics)
Actionable genomic mutations such as PIK3CA, ESR1, ERBB2, BRCA1/2, and AKT/PTEN are reviewed in relation to their corresponding therapeutic agents. Implementation challenges, pre-analysis pitfalls, uncertain sampling cadence, cost barriers, and disparities in access are discussed, along with potential solutions.

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with endometriosis and malignant or borderline ovarian tumors: real-world evidence from an ESGO centre of excellence. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Prognosis appears to be driven primarily by tumor biology, stage, and surgical outcome rather than the presence of endometriosis itself. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12885-026-15980-w.

The complex landscape of non-coding RNAs in olaparib response and resistance. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Res Commun)
Subsequently, we explore how olaparib treatment itself can alter the expression profile of ncRNAs, creating a dynamic feedback loop that may influence therapeutic outcome. By consolidating these findings across various cancers, including ovarian, breast, prostate, and hepatocellular carcinoma, this review highlights the potential of ncRNAs as both predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets to overcome PARPi resistance and enhance patient outcomes.
