Association of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin with Improved Overall Survival Compared with Epirubicin in Early-Stage Breast Cancer: A Population Based Study from Taiwan. (PubMed, Breast Cancer (Dove Med Press))
In this nationwide propensity score-matched cohort, adjuvant Lipo-Dox was associated with sustained overall survival benefits without increased cardiotoxic risk compared with epirubicin. Lipo-Dox may represent a favorable anthracycline alternative, particularly for patients with cardiovascular comorbidities or elevated cardiotoxicity risk.

Case Report: A case of primary renal synovial sarcoma. (PubMed, Front Surg)
Postoperatively, the patient received chemotherapy with epirubicin combined with ifosfamide. Follow-up showed no significant evidence of metastasis or recurrence. This report aims to provide clinical reference regarding the imaging findings and diagnosis of this rare disease, primary renal synovial sarcoma.

Epirubicin-Induced Upregulation of miR-143-3p and miR-145 Enhances Cytotoxicity in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and BT-474 Breast Cancer Cell Lines. (PubMed, Biochem Genet)
These findings suggest that Epirubicin enhances therapeutic efficacy by upregulating miR-143-3p and miR-145, potentially mitigating drug resistance. This highlights their potential as therapeutic targets for improving outcomes in resistant breast cancer subtypes.

Antibody-drug conjugate therapy in a renal transplant patient with bladder cancer: A case report. (PubMed, Clin Nephrol)
After initial treatment with transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), the patient underwent regular bladder instillations of epirubicin...Due to the patient's renal impairment (baseline creatinine 107.8 µmol/L, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 79.19 mL/min/1.73m2) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression (2+), the decision was made to employ an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting HER2 (disitamab vedotin, 120 mg intravenously). The report outlines the patient's background, the progression of his disease, the decision-making process behind the use of ADC therapy, and the subsequent response to treatment. The successful control of the disease with ADC therapy in this complex patient population highlights its potential as an effective and less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapy, particularly in patients with recurrent bladder cancer after renal transplantation.

Construction of a Breast Cancer Predictive Nomogram Based on Diverse Cell Death Methods and Reveal Tumor Microenvironment Characterization. (PubMed, J Biochem Mol Toxicol)
Patients in the high‑risk group showed improved responses to lapatinib, BI‑2536, OSI‑027, and SB505124, whereas those in the low‑risk subgroup had better sensitivity to axitinib, epirubicin, fulvestrant, and olaparib. Additionally, CD24 overexpression in BC cell lines promoted proliferation and migration, and inhibited apoptosis. These findings contribute to personalized treatment strategies and help elucidate the tumor microenvironment characteristics of BC patients.

Pragmatic Clinical Trial Assessing Response to Neoadjuvant Docetaxel and Trastuzumab in Nigerian Women With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Breast Cancer (ARETTA). (PubMed, JCO Glob Oncol)
This phase II study showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with T + scH resulted in pCR of 53%, surpassing the planned cutoff for success of 40%. This is comparable with the rates and other efficacy end points that follow data from phase II international trials. This regimen may be useful in the absence of pertuzumab and warrants further investigation.

Platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the predictive role of DNA damage response biomarkers in TNBC: the NeoCarbo study. (PubMed, NPJ Breast Cancer)
Grade ≥3 toxicity occurred in 14.4% during carboplatin-paclitaxel and 18.9% during epirubicin-cyclophosphamide, predominantly hematologic. These findings support high pCR rates with this regimen and suggest that HRD may identify patients more likely to achieve pCR, whereas baseline tumor phospho-DDR lacked predictive value; future evaluation may require dynamic DDR assessment in larger studies.
