Homologous recombination deficiency-driven genomic instability in ovarian cancer as an indicator of BRCA1 and BRCA2 variant pathogenicity. (PubMed, Am J Hum Genet)
The HGOC HRD-GIS determined by the MyChoice HRD+ CDx assay provides statistically robust evidence for BRCA1 and BRCA2 variant interpretation. This approach may refine variant classification, particularly for variants of uncertain significance, and enhance clinical decision-making in hereditary and tumor-based cancer risk assessment.

Efficacy and toxicity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer patients with and without germline BRCA mutations. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
In this analysis, gBRCAmut carriers treated with KN522 achieved remarkably high pCR rates. The observed 40% hospitalizations, primarily due to NF, highlights the need for supportive care optimization, including G-CSF consideration.

Niraparib promotes ferroptosis by inhibiting TM4SF1 expression through ALKBH1-mediated 6mA modification in BRCA wild-type ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Niraparib exhibits antitumor effects and promotes ferroptosis by inhibiting TM4SF1 expression through ALKBH1-mediated 6mA modification in BRCAwt OC. These findings emphasize the potential application of niraparib in BRCAwt OC and reveal the important role of epigenetic regulation in cancer treatment.

Could chemotherapy response score act as a surrogate marker of response to PARP inhibitor maintenance treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer? (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol)
In patients demonstrating substantial response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CRS 2-3), PARPi maintenance was associated with improved PFS, whereas no benefit was observed for CRS 1. The score may aid counseling regarding PARPi initiation, particularly in BRCA-wildtype patients or where homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing access is limited.

Alkylating agents activate an SLFN11-dependent vulnerability that confers PARP-1 inhibitor sensitivity in kidney cancer. (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
Our findings reveal an intrinsic SLFN11-dependent vulnerability in ccRCC that synergizes with alkylating agents to induce an acquired PARP-1 dependency, thereby sensitizing BRCA1/2-WT tumors to PARP inhibition. Therefore, this work uncovers a potential therapeutic strategy for targeting SLFN11-high kidney cancers.

Case Report: Complete response to the novel NaPi2b-targeting ADC YL205 in heavily pretreated platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
A 40-year-old woman with FIGO stage IVB, BRCA-wildtype HGSOC developed rapid multi-drug resistance following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, optimal cytoreduction, and progression on maintenance olaparib/bevacizumab, gemcitabine, and a USP1 inhibitor. By utilizing topoisomerase I inhibitors, agents like YL205 bypass microtubule-stabilization resistance induced by prior taxane exposure, while "bystander effects" address intratumoral heterogeneity. Longitudinal, biomarker-matched strategies and proactive toxicity management are essential to achieving deep tissue clearance in heavily pretreated HGSOC.

Successful reversal of hepatic visceral crisis in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer: a case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Given the clinical severity, inpatient treatment was promptly initiated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab every three weeks, combined with weekly paclitaxel at a 50% dose reduction. In carefully selected patients, early and sustained HER2-directed therapy can lead to meaningful clinical recovery when options appear limited. Such cases help bridge the evidence gap for this high-risk group and may inform future therapeutic considerations.

Impact of Germline BRCA1/2 Mutations on Clinical Outcomes in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Sacituzumab Govitecan-An International CEBCC Study from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
In multivariable analysis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was the only independent predictor of poorer survival (hazard ratio 1.97, 95% CI 1.42-2.74, p < 0.01), while gBRCA1/2 status showed no independent association. In this large retrospective cohort of mTNBC patients treated with SG, the presence of gBRCA1/2 was not associated with statistically significant differences in PFS or OS.

Deep learning-based prediction of homologous recombination deficiency from histopathological whole-slide images in ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Cancer)
Our results demonstrate that deep learning applied to whole-slide images can predict homologous recombination deficiency status with clinically meaningful accuracy and strong generalization across datasets. The model is particularly effective at identifying homologous recombination-proficient patients and may serve as a valuable tool to support or triage molecular testing. Integrating this artificial intelligence tool into routine pathology workflows could improve diagnostic efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate access to targeted therapies in ovarian cancer.

Cyclin E1 overexpression identifies a therapeutically relevant poor prognostic patient subgroup in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Platinum-based chemotherapy increased Cyclin-E1 expression. These patients were less likely to benefit from PARP inhibitors (75% are BRCA-wildtype) or mirvetuximab-soravtansine (67% were not FRα-high), highlighting a distinct patient population in need of novel therapies.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
Specifically in BRCA1R1699Q mutated cells, and not BRCA1-proficient or -deficient cells, NDE1 loss leads to increased genomic instability. Altogether, our findings highlight the importance to differentiate between patient-derived mutations when assessing novel treatment targets.
