    Protective Effects of Hesperidin on Letrozole-Induced Neurotoxicity: Involvement of Oxidative Stress, Apoptotic Signaling, and Inflammation. (PubMed, J Biochem Mol Toxicol)
    These findings indicate that hesperidin confers neuroprotection by restoring redox balance, regulating apoptosis, and suppressing inflammation in letrozole-induced neurotoxicity. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the precise molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications of hesperidin in letrozole-induced neurotoxicity.

    Long-term control for > 9 years with megestrol acetate-letrozole: metastatic endometrioid carcinoma case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
    At last follow-up (OS: 108 months), she maintained SD with minimal toxicity. This is the first case demonstrating that full-dose megestrol acetate plus letrozole may induce durable antitumor activity in HR-high expression metastatic EC, warranting prospective validation.

    Comparison of frozen embryo transfer outcomes in hormonal vs. mild stimulation protocols in polycystic ovary syndrome women: A randomized controlled trial. (PubMed, Int J Reprod Biomed)
    In HRT, oral estradiol followed by injectable progesterone was used; in MOS, letrozole +  follicle-stimulating hormone stimulation continued until follicle    17 mm and endometrium     7.5 mm, then human chorionic gonadotropin was given. However, the number of clinical pregnancies (p = 0.045) and the number of successful pregnancies (p = 0.049) were significantly higher in the MOS group compared to the HRT group. This study showed that MOS achieved higher clinical and successful pregnancy rates than HRT in women with PCOS.

    Adebrelimab in combination with dalpiciclib and endocrine therapy as neoadjuvant treatment for HR+/HER2- early breast cancer: an exploratory study. (PubMed, Int J Surg)
    This triplet regimen demonstrated modest clinical activity in HR+/HER2- early BC, with the safety profile of this regimen remains a concern and warrants particular attention in clinical practice.
