Diffuse Intraductal Breast Papillomatosis in a 34-Year-Old Female With Maffucci Syndrome: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Radiol)
This case raises the possibility of an association between Maffucci syndrome and recurrent papillary breast lesions. In the absence of molecular confirmation, this relationship remains speculative and should be regarded as hypothesis generating, underscoring the need for further investigation with genetic and immunohistochemical correlation rather than changes to established breast cancer screening guidelines.

KMT2A Histone Methyltransferase Contributes to Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Growth by Promoting JAK2 Transcriptional Activation. (PubMed, Comb Chem High Throughput Screen)
KMT2A was significantly upregulated in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and elevated H3K4me3 levels at the JAK2 promoter, leading to higher JAK2 expression and activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, which, in turn, stimulated ICC cell proliferation. This study offers novel insights into the potential of KMT2A as both a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Two cases of durvalumab-induced Evans syndrome in biliary tract cancer. (PubMed, Clin J Gastroenterol)
They received eight cycles of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab, followed by durvalumab monotherapy (five and six cycles, respectively) for a total of approximately 11 months. Corticosteroids remain the cornerstone of treatment, and high-dose pulse therapy may be necessary in refractory cases. In conclusion, recognition of durvalumab-induced ES is crucial for appropriate management.

Treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib in an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring a BRAF V600E mutation (PubMed, An Sist Sanit Navar)
Progression-free survival was 12.8 months and overall survival reached 44.4 months. This case underscores the importance of early molecular profiling and supports the integration of targeted therapies into routine clinical practice for tumors with limited effective therapeutic options.

Development and validation of a machine learning-based postoperative staging system for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: a retrospective single-center cohort study. (PubMed, BMC Med Inform Decis Mak)
The EHBH-HCCA staging system provides enhanced prognostic stratification for HCCA patients following surgical resection. This novel approach offers potential for improved clinical decision-making and personalized treatment regimen.

Brusatol enhances the chemotherapy efficacy of Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in KKU-100 cholangiocarcinoma cells through ROS-mediated apoptosis. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Additionally, combination of Bru with Cis or Gem significantly reduced colony formation, and suppressed cell migration and invasion in KKU-100 cells. These findings support the potential of Bru as a promising anti-cancer agent or adjunct therapy to enhance current chemotherapy in CCA treatment.
