PARP inhibitor combined with platinum activates the cGAS-STING pathway to enhance anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
The combination of PARP inhibitors and platinum activates the cGAS-STING pathway, leading to increased infiltration of mature DCs and CD8+ T cells, thereby sensitizing NSCLC to anti-PD-L1 therapy. This study presents a promising strategy for treating patients with LUAD with low immunogenicity and poor prognosis.

Challenging the extended phenotype: HRD-negative salivary gland carcinoma in a BRCA1 founder-variant carrier, case report and literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Clinical implications are direct: SGTs in BRCA1 carriers should not be assumed eligible for PARP inhibitor therapy without HRD confirmation, and enhanced surveillance appears unwarranted. This case underscores that co-occurrence does not establish causation and highlights the critical importance of functional validation before expanding hereditary cancer spectra.

Predicting Protein Cascade Expression from H&E Images. (PubMed, medRxiv)
In addition, CellViT obtained R-squared values ¿ 0.1 in all five test folds. We also show that morphologically indicative cascades, such as the apoptosis cascade, provide significantly higher performance compared to the DDR cascade.

Molecular analysis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: a real-world study from high-volume French centres (CAPANCOBIO study). (PubMed, ESMO Gastrointest Oncol)
Despite patients with targetable molecular alterations identified, very few patients were treated with targeted therapy and/or included in a clinical trial. It is essential to increase SMA for advanced PA in routine clinical practice to increase the use of targeted therapy and inclusions in clinical trials.

Discovery of novel olaparib-β-carboline hybrids for treating BRCA-deficient triple negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem)
Mechanistically, compound 6 could increase DNA damage, induce cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, and promote MDA-MB-436 apoptosis. Overall, 6 is a potential hybrid molecule and can be a candidate compound for the treatment of BRCA-deficient TNBC.

CDKN2AIPNL: a potential pan-cancer biomarker. (PubMed, Front Genet)
CDKN2AIPNL expression positively correlated with CAF infiltration in ESCA, KICH, UVM, and other tumors, and interacted with MYC, XRN2, and CHAMP1 to regulate metabolic reprogramming, cell cycle, and immune suppression. Our findings systematically reveal CDKN2AIPNL's dual role in tumorigenesis and validate it as a potential pan-cancer prognostic biomarker, providing novel insights for cancer diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Is it feasible for CDKs inhibitors to herald a new era in tackling the low sensitivity and drug resistance associated with PARP inhibitors? (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
From a translational perspective, multiple clinical trials have confirmed the safety and preliminary efficacy of this combination strategy in solid tumors, particularly demonstrating synergistic antitumor activity in settings of PARPi resistance or in tumors with intact HRR function. The combinatorial approach of CDKi and PARPi, through multi-dimensional mechanistic integration, holds strong potential as a key strategy to overcome PARPi resistance and expand the population of patients who can benefit from this class of therapies.

Comparison of Different Maintenance Treatment Options for Newly Diagnosed BRCAwt Advanced Ovarian Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis. (PubMed, Technol Cancer Res Treat)
In the PSM sensitivity analysis, the median PFS was not reached (95% CI, 19.55-NR) in the niraparib group and was 18.33 months (95% CI, 8.90-25.26) in the bevacizumab group (HR = 0.360, 95% CI, 0.176-0.736; P = .005).ConclusionThis analysis suggests that niraparib may provide a progression-free survival advantage compared with bevacizumab in BRCAwt AOC patients, with both regimens appearing to be generally well tolerated in the real-world setting. These findings offer preliminary reference value for maintenance treatment selection in patients with newly diagnosed BRCAwt AOC.

Oncologic safety of prophylactic nipple-sparing mastectomy: Outcomes of 1,255 cases exceeding a 6-year median follow-up. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
New primary breast cancer infrequently developed after PNSM in this study. Incidental breast cancer was identified on surgical pathology in a small subset of patients. PNSM may be associated with preventing breast cancer development.
