Efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan in HER2-high and HER2-low breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (PubMed, J Chemother)
However, T-DXd increased the risks of interstitial lung disease (relative risk &lsqb;RR] = 13.832; P < 0.001), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (RR = 2.247; P < 0.001), anemia, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and alopecia; neutropenia and diarrhea risks were comparable between groups. These findings highlight T-DXd's survival benefits and toxicity profile warranting monitoring.

Gene expression profiling and predictive modeling of cancer biomarkers using machine learning and IoT-Enabled biosensors. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
This work serves as a computational proof-of-concept illustrating how biosensor physics, gene-expression analytics, and AI can be mathematically unified. It establishes a foundation for subsequent experimental translation rather than claiming immediate clinical deployment.

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.

HER2 in Gynecological Malignancies: Bridging the Gap Between Standardized Pathological Assessment and Precision Therapy. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
Trastuzumab-based therapy has shown survival benefit in HER2-positive SEC, leading to its inclusion in current treatment guidelines...The prognostic value remains debated, though recent trials of antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., T-DXd) show promise...Diagnostic challenges include variable scoring systems, intratumoral heterogeneity, and HER2-low classification. Standardization of testing criteria and further clinical validation of HER2-targeted strategies across gynecologic tumors are essential to guide personalized therapy and improve outcomes.

Breast cancer cell targeted Pt(II) complexes: their bio-physical interaction and molecular docking with bio-receptors & HER2 cancer protein. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
The cytotoxic properties and ROS generation of the complexes were studied on breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and normal Human Embryonic Kidney cell line HEK-293, which is a doorstep development on the bio-pharmaceutical and drug design for effective anticancer drug candidate. Complex Pt-1 to Pt-4 reveal a promising anticancer activity on breast cancer cell lines and reasonably less adverse effect on normal cell HEK-293.

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.

Lymphatic Metastasis Predicts Better Response to Nivolumab in Recurrent or Metastatic Gastric Cancer: Insights from Tumor-Draining Lymph Node Immunity and Long-Term Outcomes. (PubMed, Oncology)
The pattern of metastatic spread, particularly lymphatic involvement, appears to influence the efficacy of nivolumab in advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. Recognizing metastatic patterns may assist in optimizing patient selection and therapeutic strategies for immune checkpoint blockade.

Clinicomics for predicting HER2 expression in metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicenter machine learning analysis on real-world data. (PubMed, Oncology)
Hb 100 ng/mL, height >160 cm, and the presence of lymph node metastases were associated with HER2 expression and positivity. HER2 testing should be considered mandatory when all these factors are present. The mechanisms linking these four factors to HER2 expression require further investigation.

Qualitative Interviews on the Experience of Orally vs. Intramuscularly Administered Endocrine Therapy for Advanced Breast Cancer: Patient and Healthcare Provider Perspectives. (PubMed, Oncol Ther)
Patients with ER+ HER2- ABC in this study preferred oral to IM ET owing to convenience, and disliked the pain associated with IM ET and travel to receive injections. Compared to IM fulvestrant, oral SERDs may offer an alternative with less burden on the lives of people living with cancer.
