Delayed-Onset Vitiligo in Metastatic HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer During Long-Term Ribociclib Therapy. (PubMed, Eur J Case Rep Intern Med)
This case highlights that cutaneous autoimmune-like toxicities, while concerning in appearance, do not necessarily warrant discontinuation of an effective anticancer drug if they are mild.Oncologists and dermatologists should be aware of CDK4/6 inhibitor-associated vitiligo, even late in the treatment timeline, and approach it with a collaborative management strategy.Moving forward, further research into the immunological or apoptotic mechanisms of this toxicity may shed light on why it occurs and how best to treat it.

Longitudinal multiomics analysis of endocrine therapy effects and gut microbiota in breast cancer recurrence. (PubMed, Commun Med (Lond))
This study provides the first human evidence with long-term ET administration to reveal that, besides genetic profiles, the gut microbiota is another critical factor that we should consider in the influence and prediction of breast cancer recurrence in the future.

Molecular and cellular composition changes after neoadjuvant letrozole and palbociclib in early luminal breast cancer. (PubMed, Cell Rep Med)
No 3-year breast cancer-specific survival events are observed in these patients. These data provide a rationale for CT-sparing trials in this setting.

Nutritional Impact on Breast Cancer in Menopausal and Post-Menopausal Patients Treated with Aromatase Inhibitors. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Background/Objectives: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs)-specifically, letrozole, anastrozole and exemestane-represent the current gold standard for patients with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer (ER + BC). The data presented herein are derived from in vitro, in silico, and animal model studies and await validation in large patient cohorts. Nevertheless, these findings pave the way for future research to elucidate these molecular phenomena in humans and to establish clinically significant conclusions for ER + BC patients.

A phase IV prospective study of efficacy and safety of ribociclib and letrozole as first-line therapy in older women (≥70 years) with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer: the RibOB study. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
Ribociclib in combination with letrozole showed clear antitumor efficacy and safe treatment option in older patients with advanced breast cancer regardless of frailty. Frequent dose reductions and early discontinuation suggest the need for more research to optimize dosing in older patients.

An Updated Comprehensive Pharmacovigilance Study of Drug- Induced Breast Cancer Based on FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Data. (PubMed, Curr Med Chem)
Targeted therapies of lapatinib, fulvestrant, and endocrine agents (letrozole or ribociclib) show disproportionately high AE reporting odds ratios, necessitating vigilant monitoring. HER2-positive BC treatments (trastuzumab) and TNBC agents (sonidegib) exhibit distinct risk profiles, advocating for personalized risk-benefit assessments for BC patients.
