Comprehensive genomic analysis of non-BRCA familial breast cancer in an Arab population. (PubMed, NPJ Breast Cancer)
PRS assessment identified four PRSs with good discriminatory power (AUC > 0.690), with PGS003738 showing the highest performance (AUC = 0.702, top decile OR = 3.57). These findings highlight the need for population-specific genetic studies to improve breast cancer risk stratification in Arab populations.

Repression of EGFR by new biguanide 4C potentiated ovarian cancer to PARP inhibitors through down-regulation of BRCA2 and Rad51. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Consequently, BRCA2 and Rad51 were then ubiquitinated and degraded to inhibit HR and increase the sensitivity of OC to PARPi. Thus, these findings reveal that the combination of 4C with PARPi leading to "synthetic lethality" is an effective strategy for treating BRCA1/2 wild-type OC.

Pulmonary Cryptococcosis Mimicking Lung Metastasis in a Patient with Pancreatic Cancer: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. (PubMed, Intern Med)
Postoperatively, fluconazole was administered without recurrence and systemic chemotherapy was resumed. Early histopathological confirmation is crucial to make an accurate diagnosis and select the appropriate management.

Genomic Profiling in Localized Prostate Cancer: Associations With Biochemical Recurrence and Response to Salvage Radiotherapy. (PubMed, Cancer Sci)
These findings suggest that somatic genomic alterations identified at prostatectomy are associated with early recurrence in localized PC. Further validation in independent cohorts is required to determine whether genomic profiling may contribute to future risk stratification and management strategies.

Genomic Features and Response to Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Inhibition in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, JCO Precis Oncol)
Most PARPi responders had alterations in HRR genes, particularly BRCA2, although some responders lacked known biomarkers associated with PARPi response. Our findings in this real-world data set support HRR gene testing for PARPi use in mCRPC and highlight the need for novel genome-wide biomarkers for patient selection.

Treatment patterns and safety of adjuvant therapy after chemoimmunotherapy for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer: real-world data from the Neo-Real/GBECAM 0123 study. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
Most patients with pCR continued adjuvant pembrolizumab, while combination strategies predominated among those with residual disease and were associated with higher rates of grade ≥ 3 AEs. The efficacy of these combined regimens remains to be determined.

Austrian treatment algorithms 2025: CDK 4/6 inhibitors in the adjuvant therapy of HR+/HER2- early breast cancer. (PubMed, Wien Klin Wochenschr)
Abemaciclib (monarchE) has demonstrated sustained improvements in invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), and a statistically significant overall survival (OS) benefit at 7 years. Ribociclib (NATALEE) demonstrated statistically significant IDFS improvement across a broader clinical risk spectrum, including selected node-negative disease.However, these advances must be considered in the context of distinct toxicity, treatment burden, and substantial additional healthcare system costs. Although emerging evidence supports treatment intensification with CDK4/6 inhibitors in certain settings, uncertainty persists regarding which patient subgroups derive sufficient benefit to justify routine use from both a clinical and health-economic perspective.Further clarification is expected from ongoing randomized studies and real-world evidence, as this paper aims to provide a structured, evidence-based overview of the current standard of knowledge and to support Austrian breast cancer specialists in navigating treatment decisions regarding adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitor use.

Reclassification of a BRCA2 variant, c.8487G > a (p.Gln2829Gln) located at 3' end of exon 19, from uncertain significance to likely pathogenic based on splicing alteration: a case report. (PubMed, Jpn J Clin Oncol)
The exon 19 encodes 52 amino acids within the single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding domain, and thus the in-frame deletion was predicted to impair BRCA2 function. Collectively, we re-classified this variant as likely pathogenic.

Genomic modifiers of malignant and neurodevelopmental phenotypes in individuals with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome. (PubMed, NPJ Genom Med)
Genome-wide analyses identified candidate modifier loci functionally linked to PTEN, including in ZNF713, TPTE2P1, and PDPK1. These findings demonstrate that PHTS phenotypes are shaped by complex gene-gene interactions beyond PTEN alone, informing mechanisms underlying the cancer-NDD dichotomy and advancing precision risk stratification.
