Accelerated Bilateral Cataract Progression during Olaparib plus Bevacizumab Maintenance Therapy for High-Grade Serous Fallopian Tube Carcinoma: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
After neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab, followed by interval debulking surgery and postoperative chemotherapy, she achieved a complete response and began maintenance therapy with bevacizumab plus olaparib. This case highlights a previously unreported ocular adverse event associated with combined PARP inhibitor and anti-VEGF maintenance therapy. Clinicians should maintain vigilance for visual symptoms and consider periodic ophthalmologic monitoring in patients receiving prolonged olaparib-based therapy.

High therapeutic efficacy of triplet therapy in unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer and its optimal application strategies. (PubMed, Int J Clin Oncol)
Triplet chemotherapy based on FOLFOXIRI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan) has achieved high response rates and deep tumor shrinkage. In combination with molecularly targeted agents, triplet therapy plus bevacizumab, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody, has demonstrated superior efficacy compared with doublet chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. In patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type tumors, combination therapy with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab and panitumumab has also shown improved survival outcomes, although toxicity remains a major concern...This review outlines the historical development of triplet therapy in mCRC, summarizes the major clinical trials investigating triplet chemotherapy combined with molecularly targeted agents, and discusses direct comparisons between anti-VEGF- and anti-EGFR-based strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on practical considerations for clinical implementation, including toxicity management, dose optimization, and multidisciplinary supportive care.

Case Report: Successful conversion surgery following chemo-antiangiogenic therapy in a lung adenocarcinoma patient with active rheumatoid arthritis and rare EGFR mutation after immunotherapy-triggered flare. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Initial therapy with 'pemetrexed + carboplatin + tislelizumab' was administered...The RA flare was managed with methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg/day followed by a slow prednisone taper and sulfasalazine. Treatment was switched to 'pemetrexed + carboplatin + bevacizumab'...It may create a potential opportunity for conversion surgery in well-responding patients, enabling long-term disease control. This case underscores the critical importance of highly individualized, multidisciplinary treatment decision-making.

The temporal evaluation of RAS mutation by liquid biopsy at progression after bevacizumab-based treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Clin Transl Oncol)
This study demonstrated that dynamic changes in plasma RAS mutation status may occur during disease progression in patients with mCRC, potentially reflecting tumor clonal evolution. The observed survival advantage in patients with RAS mutation clearance suggests potential prognostic relevance. Reassessment of RAS status using liquid biopsy at disease progression may provide clinically relevant information; however, these findings should be considered exploratory and require prospective validation in larger cohorts.

Effect of EGFR-TP53 co-mutation on the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs in patients with advanced NSCLC and therapeutic strategies: A retrospective study. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
The mOS of the EGFR-TP53 co-mutant group who received second-line TKIs combined with platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy and bevacizumab after the progression of first-line single-drug TKIs was 27.0 months versus 6.0 months compared with those who did not receive second-line therapy (P = .019). In first-line EGFR-TKIs monotherapy in patients with EGFR-TP53 co-mutation, osimertinib was clearly superior to gefitinib. In first-line EGFR-TKIs monotherapy progression, TKIs combined with chemotherapy and antiangiogenesis therapy could prolong patients' survival.

VEGF-A blockade overcomes liver metastases resistance to chemoimmunotherapy in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
The addition of bevacizumab to chemoimmunotherapy was associated with improved survival in ns-NSCLC specifically in patients with LMs. These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that the benefit may stem from disruption of VEGF-A-driven immunosuppressive signaling in the liver, but require prospective confirmation.
