iCALD-2: Impact of Cultural and Linguistic Backgrounds on Patient Care and Experience of Women With Gynecologic Malignancies (clinicaltrials.gov)

Circulating immune cell profiling in advanced cervical and endometrial cancer patients treated with PD-1 blockade, radiotherapy, and immune modulation in the PRIMMO trial. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Non-response to the combination treatment is not characterized by immune inactivity but rather associated with sustained and coordinated increases in both activation and regulatory immune features, suggesting a shift toward systemic immune imbalance following treatment. These findings support the need for longitudinal, integrative immune monitoring strategies in future clinical trials.

Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning models in the prognosis and diagnosis of ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Radiomics, which involves extracting high-dimensional features from medical images, has shown promise in differentiating between benign and malignant tumors, predicting genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA), and assessing tumor heterogeneity. Artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly deep learning (DL) algorithms, have demonstrated high accuracy in diagnosing OC and predicting patient outcomes, often outperforming traditional methods.

Single Cell and Machine Learning-Based Analysis of Lysosome Mediated Cell Death Reveals Novel Prognostic Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Cervical Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Genomics)
High-risk patients exhibited diminished immune scores, enrichment of immunosuppressive populations including regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages, and inferior clinical outcomes. Our findings establish LDCD as a functionally important mechanism in cervical cancer at single-cell resolution and demonstrate the translational utility of integrating scRNA-seq with machine learning for the discovery of novel prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

PRAME Expression in HPV-associated and Differentiated Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia-associated Vulvar Squamous Neoplasia. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
The strongest expression in dVIN-associated VSCC highlights a possible link between aggressive tumor behavior and PRAME. dVIN-associated lesions may therefore represent promising candidates for PRAME-targeted therapy.

D-salicin induces oxidative stress-mediated ERK1/2 suppression and apoptosis in endometrial cancer cells. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
Elevated oxidative burden was associated with caspase-3 activation and concentration-dependent suppression of ERK1/2 phosphorylation, both of which were attenuated by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) co-treatment...Notably, NAC co-treatment partly restored p-ERK1/2 levels under the IC50 condition (P<0.01 vs. D-salicin alone), supporting a redox-linked contribution to ERK pathway modulation. Collectively, these findings indicated that D-salicin exerts selective anticancer effects in endometrial cancer cells by inducing oxidative stress and disrupting ERK1/2-mediated survival signaling, with NAC-sensitive modulation consistent with involvement of a redox-responsive ROS-ERK axis.

Bridging the Gap Between Infection and Detection: Biological, Clinical, and Health System Contributors to Diagnostic Delay in HPV-Associated Cervical Cancer. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
Furthermore, systemic factors such as insurance status, racial and socioeconomic disparities, access to care, and structural barriers to screening will also be explored. Collectively, this review emphasizes the need for the integration of molecular diagnostics with equitable screening and healthcare delivery to reduce diagnostic delays in cervical cancer within the United States to ultimately improve risk-specific treatment and clinical outcomes.

Beyond BRCA: Genetic testing for gynaecological cancers in South Africa. (PubMed, S Afr Med J)
A disparity exists not only in genetic testing availability but also clinic attendance between the public and private healthcare systems, which likely limits the ability to diagnose hereditary cancer syndromes associated with gynaecological cancers in public healthcare hospitals.

The translation landscape of ovarian clear cell carcinoma indicates that RBM4 plays a pro-oncogenic role in tumor progression. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Furthermore, we uncovered widespread translational dysregulation in OCCC, with experimental validation confirming the pro-tumorigenic role of translationally upregulated RBM4. This study bridges a critical gap between genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes in OCCC, offering valuable mechanistic insights into its pathogenesis.

Prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Germline Mutations in Western Saudi Patients with Epithelial Tubo-Ovarian Carcinoma. (PubMed, Saudi Med J)
We identified BRCA gene mutations in 38.6% of our patients. Most comparisons revealed no significant differences between BRCA-positive and BRCA-negative patients, highlighting the need for additional studies to determine the prognostic and clinical value of gene testing in EOC.

Immune-mediated colitis associated with trastuzumab deruxtecan in ovarian cancer: a case report and rechallenge experience. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
She was treated with a methylprednisolone taper, budesonide and infliximab, resulting in resolution of symptoms. In this case, colitis was successfully managed with corticosteroids and infliximab, allowing for safe re-challenge at a reduced dose. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare toxicities associated with antibody-drug conjugates to optimize their safe use in ovarian cancer treatment.
