Identification of MTFR1 as a Novel Prognostic Biomarker and Putative Oncogene for Breast Cancer: A Multi-Omics Analysis and in Vitro Experimental Validation. (PubMed, IET Syst Biol)
Cross-cancer immunotherapy analyses revealed that MTFR1 exhibited improved predictive performance for anti-PD-1 response during the on-treatment phase compared with pretreatment settings. This study elucidates the multidimensional role of MTFR1 as a putative oncogene in BRCA, highlighting it as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Analysis of Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAM) Using Cluster of Differentiation 68 (CD68) Immunohistochemical Marker in Endometrial Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cureus)
However, CD68-based assessment alone showed no significant association with clinicopathological parameters in our study. Hence, further studies with a larger sample size and additional markers are recommended.

Research Progress of HER2 in Cervical Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Manag Res)
Particular attention is given to HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates, especially trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), which have emerged as an important recent therapeutic advance and have renewed interest in HER2 as an actionable target in selected patients with HER2-expressing cervical carcinoma. This review further highlights the need for biomarker-driven patient selection, standardized HER2 assessment, and rational integration of HER2-directed strategies into precision treatment for CC.

The expression of lysophosphatidic acid and C-reactive protein in the course of the vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and the vulvar lichen sclerosus. (PubMed, Ginekol Pol)
In peri-tumour specimens C-reactive protein immune expression was significantly higher than in lichen sclerosus specimens. No statistically significant differences were found between intratumour and lichen sclerosus specimens. No statistically significant difference between each type of specimens acquired in the group of patients diagnosed with lichen sclerosus and the specimens acquired in the group of patients diagnosed with vulvar cancer regarding Lysophosphatidic Acid immune expression was detected.

Metformin in endometrial cancer from metabolic regulation to precision therapeutics. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Furthermore, we propose translational strategies for precision application: LKB1/PTEN status-based patient stratification, innovative combinations with CDK4/6 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and clinical pathway optimization. By bridging metabolic endocrinology and gynecologic oncology, the available data provide preliminary theoretical basis to explore future shift of metformin from empirical off-label reuse toward biomarker-guided individualized medication, which still needs large-scale prospective validation.

Neurofilament Light Chain: A Potential Biomarker for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Adolescent Young Adults. (PubMed, J Adolesc Young Adult Oncol)
Mean NfL levels increased from 2.32 at baseline (median 2.16) to 3.28 at mid-chemotherapy (median 3.47) and remained elevated at the follow-up visit (mean 3.85; median 4.38). Higher NfL levels were associated with worse FACT-GOG-NTx scores during chemotherapy (r = -0.32, p ≤ 0.01) and after chemotherapy (r = -0.31, p < 0.01). NfL increased throughout treatment and was associated with patient reported CIPN symptoms, supporting its potential as an objective biomarker for early detection and monitoring of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in adolescents and young adults receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy.

Understanding risk perception and risk-reducing decision-making for surgery among individuals with a genetic predisposition to epithelial ovarian cancer. (PubMed, J Genet Couns)
Perceived risk was intertwined with cancer worry, and individuals made decisions regarding RRSO based on factors such as perceived risk, control, family planning, hormonal impacts, and recovery. Importantly, healthcare providers exerted both direct and indirect influences on the decision-making process.

The PROMISE-EC Study: prognostic role of molecular classification and sentinel lymph node status in early-stage endometrial cancer. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Cancer)
Our study supports the prognostic relevance of both sentinel lymph node assessment and molecular classification in early-stage endometrial cancer, with potential implications for post-operative risk stratification and management.

Antibody-drug conjugates in gynecologic malignancies: breakthroughs, challenges, and future directions. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Nevertheless, clinical translation remains challenged by response heterogeneity attributable to tumor heterogeneity, the emergence of resistance mechanisms, and class-specific adverse events including ocular toxicity, interstitial lung disease (ILD), hepatotoxicity, and peripheral neuropathy. Continued refinement of next-generation ADC platforms - encompassing bispecific ADCs, dual-payload ADCs, peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs), and radionuclide-conjugated drugs - is anticipated to overcome current limitations and deliver superior oncologic outcomes.

Autophagy modulation in gynaecologic oncology: insights into immune regulation and therapeutic potential. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
These findings underscore the potential of autophagy as a therapeutic target and highlight strategies for combining autophagy modulators with conventional treatments to overcome resistance. This article provides a foundation for the development of precision medicine approaches tailored to autophagy-related pathways in gynaecologic malignancies.
