SpyCatcher-Engineered Ferritin Nanocages Enable Dual-Receptor Targeting for Enhanced Glioma Therapy. (PubMed, Bioconjug Chem)
Doxorubicin (DOX) was efficiently encapsulated via temperature-controlled loading to obtain DOX@FTn-EGFRAfb with high protein recovery, pH-responsive drug release, and strong stability...In an orthotopic U87 glioma mouse model, DOX@FTn-EGFRAfb significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival without obvious systemic toxicity. This work presents a versatile protein-engineering strategy for dual-targeted glioblastoma drug delivery.

Comparative Analysis of Breast Cancer Care Disparities in Argentina: Diagnosis, Treatment Timeliness, and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor Implications. (PubMed, JCO Glob Oncol)
Disparities between Argentina's health subsystems significantly affect the BC stage at diagnosis and treatment timelines, influencing therapeutic pathways and associated costs. These findings highlight the need for targeted, system-level interventions. While further research is needed to confirm their long-term impact, such efforts may contribute to more equitable care and improved outcomes in LMICs.

Pathological characteristics and prognosis of very young patients with early breast cancer: a comparative analysis with older patients. (PubMed, Acta Oncol)
Younger patients with breast cancer exhibited a higher frequency of high-grade tumors, although no differences were observed in RFS and DRFS. However, locoregional recurrence was more common among younger patients, especially HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

A Case of Neutropenic Enterocolitis During Endocrine Therapy With Abemaciclib for Metastatic Breast Cancer. (PubMed, In Vivo)
This case highlights a rare but severe complication of ABE treatment. While CDK4/6 inhibitors are widely used as first-line agents in advanced breast cancer due to their high efficacy and generally favorable side-effect profile, clinicians should remain vigilant for NE, which requires prompt intervention.

Lifting the Lid on Best Practice in a Case of Oligometastatic Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol))
We discuss the case literature on the management of ophthalmic and eyelid metastases, including the role of radiotherapy. We outline the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussions and recommendations made in the present case, which ultimately found that the risks of radiation toxicity would outweigh the benefits. Adjuvant therapy with fulvestrant and palbociclib was recommended, with future consideration of a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in the event of metastatic recurrence.

Homologous recombination deficiency correlates with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and predicts patient outcomes in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
HRD represents a reliable independent prognostic biomarker in HR+/HER2- breast cancer in this cohort, with an inverse association with TILs suggesting immune evasion. Its potential impact on prognosis and treatment requires further validation in prospective clinical trials.

(Neo)adjuvant therapy patterns and outcomes in patients with HR+/HER2+ early breast cancer: a real-world study using the national cancer information database in China. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
Trastuzumab + pertuzumab (TP) was the most commonly used regimen in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. The dual HER2 blockade regimens that were widely adopted in China for HR+/HER2+ early breast cancer have demonstrated effectiveness in improving pCR in routine clinical practice; a longer follow‑up is required to validate survival outcomes.

Intraoperative Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer: Long-Term Experience. (PubMed, Ann Surg Oncol)
TARGIT-IORT is associated with excellent local control, very high survival rates, and a very low toxicity profile for low-risk early breast cancer, consistent with the TARGIT-A trial and should be offered to patients when suitable.

The Indication of Adjuvant Therapy Based on Oncotype DX Recurrence Score in Relation to Clinical and Pathological Factors, and Survival: A Retrospective Analysis of Real-World Use. (PubMed, J Nippon Med Sch)
Real-world data demonstrate that ODRS correlates with key pathological characteristics and can guide adjuvant therapy selection, independent of menopausal status or nodal involvement. This suggests that ODRS is useful in tailoring chemotherapy decisions in ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

Plasma metabolomics combined with machine learning for postoperative prognostic stratification in hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer. (PubMed, Clin Nutr ESPEN)
We developed and validated a 10-PM model based on plasma metabolomics that accurately predicts short DFS in HR+/HER2- BC. This model outperforms conventional clinicopathological indicators, offering a specific, blood-based tool to stratify high-risk patients and guide individualized postoperative management.
