Quality-assured analysis of PIK3CA mutations in HR+/HER2- breast cancer tissue - A story about the need for proficiency testing for high-quality molecular biomarker reporting in precision medicine. (PubMed, J Mol Diagn)
The most commonly used methodologies were next-generation sequencing and mutation-/allele-specific qualitative polymerase-chain-reaction-based assays. In summary, this recurrent PIK3CA EQA proved to be a suitable approach for quality assessment in predictive molecular biomarker testing, to obtain an international overview of methods used for PIK3CA mutation analysis and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual methods.

Prognostic value of EndoPredict test in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative primary breast cancer screened for the randomized, double-blind, phase III UNIRAD trial. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
The results confirm the value of EPclin score as an independent prognostic parameter in node-positive, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer patients receiving standard adjuvant treatment. EPclin score can be used to identify patients at higher risk of recurrence who may warrant additional systemic treatments.

Non-invasive screening and subtyping for breast cancer by serum SERS combined with LGB-DNN algorithms. (PubMed, Talanta)
Furthermore, the accuracies of 90.11 % for HR+/HR- and 88.89 % for HER2+/HER2- can be reached when evaluating BC patients' molecular subtypes. These results demonstrate that serum SERS combined with powerful LGB-DNN algorithm would provide a supplementary method for clinical breast cancer screening.

Risk of first recurrence after treatment in a population-based cohort of young women with breast cancer. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
This study highlights that BC in young women carries a significant risk of early recurrence, with age, tumor characteristics, and treatment modalities influencing outcomes. The findings emphasize the need for tailored treatment strategies for young BC patients, focusing on surgical precision and aggressive adjuvant therapy for high-risk cases. This research contributes valuable insights into managing BC in younger patients, aiding in improving long-term outcomes.

Relationship between HER2-low status and efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in advanced breast cancer: a real-world study. (PubMed, Int J Clin Oncol)
The mPFS in the Her2-zero group was almost twice that of the Her2-low group, but the difference was not statistically significant. mPFS was significantly longer in the HER2-zero group compared to the HER2-low group in patients receiving ribociclib. More prospective studies are needed to understand the actual consequences of this biomarker.

Real-world data of HER2-negative early breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline and/or taxane regimens in Japan. (PubMed, Breast Cancer)
Approximately half the patients in both the luminal-type and triple-negative groups were prescribed anthracycline and/or taxane for perioperative chemotherapy. The choice was associated with patient age, cancer stage, and the scale and specialization of the treatment facilities. This study sheds light on the current state of breast cancer treatment practices in Japan.

Clustering of HR + /HER2- breast cancer in an Asian cohort is driven by immune phenotypes. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res)
Analysis of somatic mutations by whole exome sequencing showed that counter-intuitively, the cluster of HR + /HER2- samples exhibiting higher immune scores was associated with lower tumour mutational burden, lower homologous recombination deficiency scores, and fewer copy number aberrations, implicating the involvement of non-canonical tumour immune pathways. Further investigations are warranted to determine the underlying mechanisms of these pathways, with the potential to develop innovative immunotherapeutic approaches tailored to this specific patient population.

An integrated omics approach highlights how epigenetic events can explain and predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and bevacizumab in breast cancer. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
Using tumor purity computed from copy number data, we developed a method for estimating cancer cell-specific methylation to confirm that the association to response reflects DNA methylation in cancer cells. Taken together, these results support the potential for clinical benefit of the addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy when administered to the correct patients.

Real-World Treatment Patterns and Clinical Outcomes among Patients Receiving CDK4/6 Inhibitors for Metastatic Breast Cancer in a Canadian Setting Using AI-Extracted Data. (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
In 2L, 12 of the 21 (57.1%) patients received CDK4/6i + ET, of which 58.3% received abemaciclib. The two-year overall survival (95% CI) was 97.4% (92.4, 100.0), and the median (range) follow-up was 28.7 (3.4-67.6) months. Despite the limitations inherent in real-world studies and a limited number of patients, these AI-extracted data complement previous studies, demonstrating the effectiveness of CDK4/6i + ET in the Canadian real-world 1L, with most patients receiving palbociclib as CDK4/6i in 1L.
