Liver Resection after Disease Control with Abemaciclib for Solitary Liver Metastasis from Breast Cancer: A Case Report. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
This case represents a rare report of surgical resection for breast cancer liver metastasis after CDK4/6 inhibitor-based therapy. It suggests that local treatment may be effective even in cases with suspected endocrine-resistant disease and provides practical insight into patient selection and treatment strategies, as the case fulfilled previously reported criteria for local therapy.

⁶⁸Ga-FAPI PET/CT Unmasks Extensive Metastatic Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer when Conventional Imaging Falls Short. (PubMed, J Pak Med Assoc)
However, whole-body ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI PET/CT revealed a markedly different disease burden. This case highlights the added diagnostic value of ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI PET/CT in detecting the true extent of ILC, particularly when conventional imaging appears limited.

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.

New perspectives on endocrine therapy suitability for hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer in clinical practice. (PubMed, Breast)
We consider ET suitability to be the clinical assessment of whether a patient could benefit from ET, where benefit is defined not solely by tumor response but by a clinically relevant constellation of characteristics and markers possibly predicting the durability of disease response and symptom control. Several unresolved questions remain regarding issues such as disease heterogeneity, optimal treatment sequencing, and biomarker precision, but further work and ongoing studies will help to support the evolution of guidelines and provide clarity around the effective application of this quickly developing field to daily clinical practice.

Meta-analysis reveals pathological complete response benefits from neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy combination in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Immunotherapy showed substantial benefits in improving pCR rates in both TNBC and HR+HER2- patients when combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, especially in lymph node-positive breast cancer patients.

Statins enhance trastuzumab deruxtecan efficacy: preclinical synergy in HER2-negative models and clinical benefit in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Exp Hematol Oncol)
Our findings revealed that statin use significantly enhanced the efficacy of T-DXd in both a preclinical HER2-negative rat model and patients with HER2-positive mBC. Prospective clinical trials are warranted to validate these observations.
