Optimizing clinical monitoring and management guidelines for capivasertib in HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer: expert opinion. (PubMed, NPJ Breast Cancer)
Capivasertib, an AKT inhibitor, approved in combination with fulvestrant for hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer with ≥1 PIK3CA, AKT1, and/or PTEN alterations, significantly improved progression-free survival in the CAPItello-291 phase 3 trial. However, capivasertib-associated adverse events of diarrhea, rash, and hyperglycemia may require proactive management. This article provides practical recommendations to support prevention and early intervention to optimize adherence and treatment outcomes.

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor in Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Breast Cancer: Global Challenges and Tibremciclib Perspective. (PubMed, JCO Glob Oncol)
Tibremciclib shows promise as an additional CDK4/6 inhibitor; however, its global integration requires broader, more diverse clinical trials, robust safety and survival data, and strategies to mitigate toxicity risks. Bridging access gaps will require coordinated efforts across policy, infrastructure, and global partnerships to ensure equitable benefit from emerging therapies.

Clinical outcomes of patients with advanced EGFR mutated nonsquamous cell lung carcinoma treated at a tertiary care hospital. (PubMed, Ecancermedicalscience)
This study demonstrates that EGFR-targeted therapy, when used in a first-line setting, significantly improves OS and PFS in this population. Further research is warranted to optimise treatment strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Assessment of the efficacy of various neoadjuvant anti-HER2 targeted therapies combined with chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer in the real-world setting and development of a predictive model for pathological complete response. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The efficacy of NAT regimens containing trastuzumab plus pertuzumab (HP) and trastuzumab plus pyrotinib (HPy) was compared. Both HP and HPy combined with chemotherapy can be considered as optional NAT regimens for HER2-positive BC. The nomogram incorporating common clinical indicators provides a basis for clinicians to predict NAT efficacy at an earlier stage.

Efficacy and safety with aumolertinib plus anlotinib for untreated EGFR-mutant NSCLC with brain metastases. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Aumolertinib plus anlotinib was effective and well-tolerated as first-line therapy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with BMs. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov(identifier NCT04978753, registered July 20, 2021).

EGFR-Targeted Gadolinium Contrast Agents for Enhanced Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tumors. (PubMed, J Biol Chem)
In vitro MRI revealed strong contrast enhancement in EGFR-overexpressing tumor cells, while in vivo studies in xenograft models showed increased tumor uptake and prolonged contrast retention. These agents demonstrated superior specificity and sensitivity compared to traditional non-targeted Gd-DO3A, offering a promising approach for improved tumor detection, grading, and prognosis in clinical molecular imaging.

High-Plex Digital Spatial Profiling Identified Prolactin-Induced Protein mRNA Associated With Response and Survival of Everolimus and Letrozole Treatment for Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer. (PubMed, MedComm (2020))
PIP mRNA expression and specific immune-stromal features are associated with resistance to EVE. These findings suggest the potential of PIP as a spatially resolved predictive biomarker for patient stratification in HR+/HER2- ABC.

Adjuvant ribociclib plus nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer: 5-year follow-up of NATALEE efficacy outcomes and updated overall survival. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
This prespecified 5-year follow-up of efficacy outcomes from NATALEE demonstrated that ribociclib + NSAI continued to reduce the risk of recurrence beyond the 3-year treatment window, supporting its use as adjuvant therapy in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative EBC. An ongoing positive trend for improved OS in favor of ribociclib + NSAI was observed.

Large language model-based approach for low-cost, rapid and accurate automated extraction of predictive biomarker testing results from Dutch pathology reports. (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
This study illustrates the possibility to train and use an LLM-based model to accurately extract biomarker testing results from pathology reports of patients with lung cancer. This application enables rapid, low-cost assessment of biomarker testing, which can be used for evaluation of guideline adherence and retrospective biomarker follow-up studies at a nationwide level of the Netherlands.

A Rare Case of Inflammatory Luminal B (HER2-Positive) Breast Cancer Misdiagnosed in a 30-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing inflammatory breast conditions. Inflammatory breast symptoms unresponsive to conservative treatment should prompt early biopsy and multidisciplinary evaluation to avoid delays in diagnosis, especially in young women presenting with atypical features.

A Randomized Trial of Sentinel Node Biopsy Omission After Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy in Clinically Node-Negative or Selected Node-Positive Breast Cancer. (PubMed, J Breast Cancer)
NeoNAUTILUS is the first randomized trial to assess the omission of axillary surgery after NST based on the predicted nodal response, independent of breast pCR. This study may redefine axillary management in the neoadjuvant setting by identifying patients who can safely avoid SLNB, thereby reducing surgical morbidity without compromising oncologic outcomes.
