TQB2440 compared with reference pertuzumab for HER2-positive, ER/PgR-negative, early or locally advanced breast cancer: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, phase III equivalence trial. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
TQB2440 showed equivalent efficacy, comparable safety, PK, and immunogenicity profiles to reference pertuzumab in the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with HER2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer.

A Case of Grade 4 Hyperglycemia Induced by Capivasertib and Successfully Managed with Early Insulin Intervention. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
Inpatient glucose monitoring enabled prompt detection of rapid glucose elevation and early intervention before the onset of DKA, resulting in a favorable outcome. Further clinical evidence is required to define optimal intervention strategies for grade 4 hyperglycemia associated with capivasertib therapy.

The role of circulating tumor cell-associated genes in the progression of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. (PubMed, NPJ Breast Cancer)
Higher CTC signature ITH was associated with increased Oncotype DX risk and higher overall grade. These findings highlight the value of our CTC signature in disease progression and the role of ITH on recurrence risk.

Patterns and risk factors of intracranial recurrence after surgical resection of brain metastases from malignant tumors. (PubMed, Am J Cancer Res)
Postoperative intracranial recurrence after surgical resection of brain metastasis demonstrates distinct incidence rates, temporal profiles, and independent risk factors. These recurrence patterns and associated risks are highly dependent on the tumor type.

Fibrous Disease of the Breast Can Obscure Breast Cancer Margins on Ultrasound: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient recovered uneventfully, was discharged on the second day after surgery, received one year of trastuzumab monotherapy as the postoperative adjuvant therapy due to the patient's strong preference, and has been well for 14 months. Diagnostic physicians should note that unilateral fibrous disease of the breast should be evaluated with MRI before tissue sampling, and the change of posterior echoes is an important diagnostic clue for the diagnosis of breast cancer in the fibrous disease of the breast.

Omission of sentinel lymph node biopsy in early stage luminal breast cancer: impact on adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitor recommendation and oncological outcomes. (PubMed, Breast)
Omission of SLNB in patients with small HR-positive/HER2-negative tumors results in a missed indication for CDK4/6i in <8 % with minimal impact on recurrence.

Metformin and its derivatives in breast cancer: from glycaemic control to tumor-intrinsic pathways. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res)
Metformin and its derivatives exert dual anticancer effects by modulating systemic insulin signaling and targeting tumor-intrinsic pathways. Nevertheless, inconsistencies between preclinical efficacy and clinical outcomes highlight the need for biomarker-guided approaches and deeper investigation into tumour-specific metabolic contects. These complementary mechanisms highlight their potential in precision BC therapy, warranting biomarker-driven studies and optimized therapeutic combinations.

Does neoadjuvant systemic therapy in clinical T1-2 N0 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer increase the extent of axillary surgery? (PubMed, Surgery)
Patients who underwent upfront surgery had a greater likelihood of being pN+; however, there was no difference in the likelihood of axillary lymph node dissection. Therefore, neoadjuvant systemic therapy use should be based on current systemic therapy guidelines and patient-centered shared multidisciplinary decision-making.

20th anniversary of adjuvant trastuzumab: reflections on a breakthrough moment. (PubMed, Ann Oncol)
Similarly, while clinical factors and imaging tools may help identify early on patients at higher risk of experiencing TIC, no cardioprotective strategy has yet demonstrated robust and conclusive benefit. Despite the emergence of newer anti-HER2 agents and evolving treatment paradigms, trastuzumab will probably continue to serve as a key therapeutic backbone, especially for patients with lower risk HER2+ eBC.

BI14 Case series: exploring the link between psoriasis and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer treatment. (PubMed, Br J Dermatol)
She was initiated on palbociclib and letrozole treatment in April 2024...She was commenced on ribociclib and letrozole for relapsed metastatic liver disease in April 2023...Understanding the role of CDK4/6 inhibition and the link with psoriasis is important for optimizing therapeutic choices for patients with cancer with pre-existing or newly developed psoriasis. Given the increasing use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in cancer treatment, clinicians should be vigilant of the potential increased prevalence of psoriasis experienced in this patient cohort.

Zolbetuximab Plus Chemotherapy as First-Line Treatment in Patients with Claudin 18.2-Positive, HER2-Negative, Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: Korean Population Subgroup-Combined Efficacy and Safety Analysis from SPOTLIGHT and GLOW. (PubMed, Cancer Res Treat)
Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy or placebo plus chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 [modified folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin] or CAPOX [capecitabine and oxaliplatin]). Zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy demonstrated favorable PFS and OS versus placebo plus chemotherapy in the Korean subgroup, with numerically greater efficacy compared with the overall pooled population. This may be potentially attributable to low rates of zolbetuximab discontinuation and toxicity management.

Breast surgery and systemic treatment continuation for patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer and locoregional oligoprogression: a cohort study. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
This study suggests that selected patients with de novo mBC and locoregional oligoprogression can benefit from breast surgery while maintaining the same systemic treatment, particularly in the setting of HER2-positive disease or a pre-oligoprogression PFS >1 year.
