Utility of Commercially Available Quantitative hCG Immunoassays as Tumor Markers in Trophoblastic and Non-Trophoblastic Disease. (PubMed, Clin Chem)
While no immunoassay is likely to be perfect in all clinical situations, results for the 5 hCG immunoassays evaluated suggest that all are adequate for use of hCG as a tumor marker in gestational trophoblastic disease and select germ cell tumors. Further harmonization of hCG methods is needed as serial testing for biochemical tumor monitoring must still be performed using a single method. Additional studies are needed to assess the utility of quantitative hCG as a tumor marker in other malignant disease.

Final results of the randomized phase 2 LEO trial and bone protective effects of everolimus for premenopausal hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
The phase 2 LEO study showed that everolimus (EVE) plus letrozole (LET) with ovarian suppression increased progression-free survival (PFS) in tamoxifen-exposed premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer with visceral metastases...Patients who were exposed to or progressed on tamoxifen as adjuvant/palliative treatments were randomly assigned (2:1) to the EVE (leuprorelin+LET+EVE, n=92) or LET (leuprorelin+LET, n=45) arm...EVE+LET with ovarian suppression prolonged PFS in patients with baseline visceral or bone metastases and offered bone-protective effects in the overall study population. However, these clinical benefits did not translate into an OS benefit.

Background: In phase II LEO study, everolimus (EVE) plus letrozole (LET) with ovarian suppression resulted in longer progression-free survival (PFS) in tamoxifen-exposed premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer with visceral metastases... EVE plus LET with ovarian-suppression prolonged PFS in patients with baseline visceral or bone metastases and offered bone-protective effect in the overall study population. However, these clinical benefits were not translated into an OS benefit.

A Case of Recurrent Premenopausal Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer with Liver, Lung and Bone Metastasis Successfully Treated with Endocrine Therapy (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
As PET-CT revealed recurrence of multiple bone and lung metastases and solitary liver metastasis which did not seem to be life-threatening, palliative radiation therapy and endocrine therapy with leuprorelin and anastrozole(LA)were started. LA therapy could be maintained for a total of 30 months until metastatic recurrence on liver and bone emerged. LA endocrine therapy may be effective for patients with premenopausal hormone-positive breast cancer even if the difficult situation such as tamoxifen intolerance.

Efficacy of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast: A case report. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast is rare and has a poor prognosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment for this disease. Studies show estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast are often highly expressed. In the case, it can be observed that estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor are highly expressed. Therefore, neoadjuvant endocrine therapy may be considered in neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast when the mass is large and the patient refuses neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We hope to provide an attractive evidence for neoadjuvant endocrine therapy of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast. However, more cases are still being needed for research.

Cost-effectiveness of ribociclib as initial treatment for premenopausal women with advanced breast cancer in Singapore. (PubMed, Cancer Rep (Hoboken))
At its current price, adding ribociclib to endocrine therapy is unlikely to be cost-effective in Singapore for HR+, HER2- ABC. Results from this study are useful to inform future funding decisions for CDK4/6 inhibitors alongside other factors including clinical effectiveness, safety, and budget impact considerations.

Failure to achieve castrate level of serum testosterone during luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist therapy in a patient with prostate cancer. (PubMed, Anticancer Drugs)
Due to liver dysfunction, antiandrogens, both bicalutamide and flutamide, were stopped...Leuprorelin acetate was replaced by goserelin acetate...Androgen deprivation therapy is the standard treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone aims to suppress serum testosterone to castrate range. We recommend assessing the serum testosterone levels during luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist therapy for monitoring treatment efficacy and verifying progression when the PSA level increases.

Although an early-phase study, data suggest that alpelisib plus endocrine therapy may be a potentially efficacious treatment that warrants further evaluation for premenopausal patients with HR+, HER2- ABC.
