Incidental Detection of Aggressive HER2-Positive Breast Cancer on 99mTc-Sestamibi Parathyroid Scintigraphy. (PubMed, J Nucl Med Technol)
She completed adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and HER2-targeted therapy, with no recurrence at 2-y follow-up. This case emphasizes deliberate review of the complete hybrid SPECT/CT field of view during parathyroid imaging.

Predictors of Pathological Complete Response and Patient-Reported Outcomes During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Early Breast Cancer: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study. (PubMed, Cureus)
In this Romanian single-center cohort, pCR was independently predicted by clinical subtype and a limited set of biological variables, in line with contemporary literature. Although baseline patient-reported outcomes did not improve prediction of pathological response, the high prevalence of pre-treatment anxiety and the emergence of clinical depression during NAC argue for systematic psychosocial screening as part of standard neoadjuvant care.

Treatment of HER2-Positive Brain Metastasis from Cervical Cancer Using Multimodal Therapy Including Pyrotinib: A Case Report. (PubMed, Int J Womens Health)
This case illustrates successful management of HER2-positive brain metastases from cervical cancer using a multimodal approach combining surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy with pyrotinib and capecitabine. The durable complete response with manageable toxicity underscores the therapeutic potential of HER2-targeted therapy as part of a multimodal regimen; however, further studies are required to validate these findings and optimize personalized treatment strategies.

Receptor discordance between primary tumors and nodal metastases and correlation with the 21-gene recurrence score in early-stage, estrogen receptor-positive, node-positive breast cancer. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
Receptor discordance between primary tumors and nodal metastases is common, with most shifts occurring within the HER2-spectrum. There was a trend toward higher RS and ER or HER2-receptor discordance. HER2 discordance was also associated with larger tumor size and larger size of nodal metastasis. As strategies emerge to target HER2-low cohorts and to include ER-low/HER2-negative disease within treatment regimens for TNBC, it may become important to consider receptor testing of nodal disease in the future.

Microstructural and neural impairment of the ocular surface induced by HER2-targeted ADCs: a prospective longitudinal study with ultrastructural insights. (PubMed, Br J Ophthalmol)
HER2-ADC-induced ocular surface toxicity presents as vision loss, dry eye and selective damage to corneal epithelium (vortex-like keratopathy) and nerves (nerve fibre loss and reduced sensitivity), which is dose- and time-dependent and partially reversible.

Construction and validation of a predictive model of pathological complete response combined with MRI and tumor indicators for HER2-positive breast cancer after neoadjuvant targeted therapy. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
External validation further confirmed the excellent discriminatory ability of the model, yielding an AUC value of 0.961 (P<0.001), sensitivity of 1.000 and specificity was 0.875. Overall, this nomogram, which integrates multiple clinically relevant factors, may serve as a useful tool for predicting post-NAT pCR in patients with HER2-positive BC and may support more precise treatment decision-making in clinical practice.

Quantitation of Tucatinib, a Novel Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor in Dried Blood Spot (DBS) With LC-ESI-MS/MS: Application to a Pharmacokinetic Study in Mice. (PubMed, Biomed Chromatogr)
This research aimed to create and validate a new rapid, sensitive, and specific LC-MS/MS technique for measuring tucatinib in dried blood spots (DBS) from mice, with afatinib serving as an internal standard (IS) following regulatory guidelines in the linearity range from 0.178 to 1009 ng/mL (r > 0.990). Tucatinib remained stable under various storage conditions. Comparison of DBS versus plasma samples concentrations showed a strong correlation, suggesting that DBS can serve as a valid alternative to plasma for pharmacokinetic evaluation.

Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Risk Factors in Breast Cancer With Liver Metastasis. (PubMed, Breast J)
The occurrence of BCLM is affected by age, tumor grade, other organ involvement, and molecular subtype. Survival was improved in BCLM patients with liver-only metastasis, HER2-positive subtype, or those who underwent hepatic resection. The number and molecular characteristics of liver metastasis are important prognostic predictors, and receptor conversion highlights the need for reassessment of therapeutic strategies during metastatic progression.
