Focus V (anlotinib)

Aumolertinib plus anlotinib was effective and well-tolerated as first-line therapy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with BMs. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov(identifier NCT04978753, registered July 20, 2021).

Radiopharmaceuticals such as 131I-MIBG and 177Lu-DOTATATE continue to play a pivotal role, achieving disease control in many patients. Cytotoxic regimens, particularly temozolomide, remain relevant, with some studies suggesting that SDHB-mutated PPGLs demonstrate a heightened sensitivity associated with MGMT promoter hypermethylation and reduced MGMT expression. Targeted agents are increasingly important: multi-kinase inhibitors such as sunitinib, anlotinib, and cabozantinib have shown meaningful activity. The landmark approval of belzutifan, a HIF-2α inhibitor, in 2025 represents the first oral targeted therapy for advanced/metastatic PPGL, which is particularly relevant for pseudohypoxic Cluster 1 tumors...This review summarizes current evidence and highlights ongoing clinical trials, underscoring a paradigm shift toward precision medicine and rational combination strategies. Collectively, these advances bring cautious optimism that metastatic PPGLs may soon become a more manageable chronic disease with improved survival and quality of life.

Patients with a high TLS-to-tumor area ratio exhibited better survival. Our findings lay the groundwork for the feasibility of first-line de-escalated chemotherapy plus anlotinib and penpulimab in metastatic, persistent, or recurrent cervical cancer patients.

Preclinical studies show that pharmacological inducers, including vitamin C, tenacissoside H, neferine, curcumin, and shikonin, as well as targeted agents such as dabrafenib and anlotinib, can trigger or synergize with ferroptosis. Although systemic toxicity and resistance remain obstacles, biomarker-driven selection and drug repurposing offer promise. Ferroptosis represents a mechanistically distinct and clinically exploitable pathway for ATC.

After multiple-line treatment including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, disease control was achieved in a case of advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma carrying the KRAS G12C mutation by mutation-specific inhibitor therapy, and the adverse reactions to the therapy were tolerable.

Anlotinib was generally well tolerated, with manageable adverse events. Anlotinib, when added onto EGFR TKI therapy following gradual progression or oligo-progression, conferred significant PFS benefits upon EGFR mutant NSCLC patients, supporting adding anlotinib to ongoing first-line EGFR TKI therapy for oligoprogressive disease.
