Impact of prior immune checkpoint inhibitor on trastuzumab deruxtecan in HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer: exploratory analysis of the EN-DEAVOR study. (PubMed, Jpn J Clin Oncol)
Initiating T-DXd within 2 months post-ICI may enhance therapeutic efficacy in HER2-positive AGC without affecting safety, supporting a potential sequencing option after ICI therapy.

Genomic Profiling of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Post-Progression on First-Line Osimertinib: Phase II ORCHARD Study. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
This comprehensive analysis highlights potential heterogeneous resistance to first-line osimertinib treatment, providing a rationale for combining treatments with broad activity to improve patient outcomes.

Analysis of Large Language Model Decision Making in Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Early Breast Cancer. (PubMed, JCO Clin Cancer Inform)
The agreement between clinicians and GPT-4o in pretest recommendations was modest but improved post-test, highlighting the importance of multigene testing and the potential of large language models in clinical decision making.

Triple-negative ovarian apocrine carcinoma arising in a giant mature cystic teratoma: Case Report and Case Review. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, as no standard systemic therapy has been established. Further accumulation of similar cases is essential to better understand the biological behavior and optimize management of this rare tumor type.

Imlunestrant plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer: an indirect treatment comparison of three phase III trials. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
In this ITC analysis of patient-level data from three phase III trials, although not powered for formal hypothesis testing, the all-oral targeted combination therapy imlunestrant + abemaciclib showed a consistent numerical reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared with fulvestrant + abemaciclib in patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative ABC previously treated with endocrine therapy ± CDK4/6i.

Long-term benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen therapy for ER+ HER2- breast cancer by PR positivity. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
Time-varying analysis revealed a treatment benefit for PR-positive disease up to 25 years (HR = 0.35; 95% CI [0.16-0.79]), but not for patients with PR-negative tumors. PR-positivity as determined by immunohistochemistry predicted long-term benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen in lymph node-negative postmenopausal breast cancer patients with ER+/HER2- tumors.

Exceptional and Durable Complete Response to Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine in HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
She received first-line chemotherapy with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and docetaxel, followed by maintenance anti-HER2 therapy and surgery for local disease control. This case may represent an exceptional response to T-DM1 and highlights the potential for durable complete remission in selected patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Further investigation is warranted to identify predictive factors for exceptional responses and to determine optimal treatment duration.

Real-world description of patients with resected epidermal growth factor receptor mutation positive non-small cell lung carcinoma treated with adjuvant osimertinib in an early access program in Italy: the ELBA observational study. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Osimertinib was started after a median (25th-75th percentiles) time from tumor resection of 2.9 (2.1-4.9) months. The ELBA Study showed an evolving landscape in biomarker-driven and molecular targeted therapies in early-stage NSCLC management towards the integration of mutational testing into clinical practice, with a growing focus on an optimal definition of adjuvant treatment.

Diagnosis and treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer: a systematic literature review. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Rev)
The value of HER2-targeted treatments in patients with HER2+ mCRC has been evidenced by clinical trials and meta-analyses, with strong evidence from MOUNTAINEER and DESTINY-CRC01 which supports the use of tucatinib + trastuzumab or trastuzumab deruxtecan, respectively, among this patient population. Strong evidence and clinical guidelines support the value of HER2-targeted treatment among patients with HER2+ mCRC. There is a need for increased awareness and earlier uptake of HER2 testing among patients with mCRC to broaden treatment options and optimise outcomes for this patient population.

Safety and effectiveness of post-trastuzumab deruxtecan regimens in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who discontinued trastuzumab deruxtecan due to interstitial lung disease. (PubMed, Breast)
These findings highlight the importance of early ILD detection and management so patients can receive, and potentially benefit from, subsequent anti-HER2 targeted therapies. ILD recurrence/exacerbation during subsequent therapies was low in patients who experienced ILD with T-DXd.
