Exploratory analyses suggested no survival benefit with trastuzumab use across multiple versus single LOT(s) (nominal p=0.96); however, sequential use of ≥2 HER2-targeted therapy types with distinct mechanisms of action (MoAs) may be associated with longer survival compared to a single type (nominal p=0.009)...Exploratory analyses suggested possible associations between HER2-targeted therapy and improved outcomes; however, inherent biases preclude causal inference. The sequential use of HER2-targeted therapies with distinct MoAs may be associated with clinical benefit, requiring prospective validation (NCT05606094).

Combined with trastuzumab's targeting, this leads to marked suppression of HER2-positive BT474 xenograft tumors in mice. Our design may offer a powerful and universal modality for precise diagnosis and treatment of HER2-positive malignant tumors.

We present the case of a 60-year-old non-smoking woman previously treated for luminal B human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive invasive breast carcinoma with surgery, AC60 chemotherapy, trastuzumab, breast radiotherapy, and hormone therapy at the Mohammed VI Oncology Center in Casablanca, Morocco. The patient received neoadjuvant vinorelbine-cisplatin chemotherapy followed by volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) thoracic radiotherapy at 66 Gy, achieving clinical and radiological stabilization. This case highlights the occurrence of a second driver-negative primary lung adenocarcinoma in a non-smoker and underscores the importance of integrated histopathological, immunohisto chemical, and targeted molecular evaluation in distinguishing primary tumors from metastases, as well as the potential role of post-therapeutic carcinogenesis.

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.

Data suggest that the Fab-ageritin IT and the individual purified components preserve the toxin and Fab' activity but show enhanced cell toxicity, thus resulting in a structurally well-defined, target-specific new type of immunotoxin. The scheme outlined for its preparation is easily extendable to other therapeutic IgG1 thus providing a significant contribution to the ongoing effort to explore new combinations of payloads and targeting platforms for next-generation immunotoxins.

Neoadjuvant dual HER2 blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab plus chemotherapy represents the current standard-of-care for HER2-positive breast cancer. Importantly, Xenium in situ profiling further revealed biological correlates underlying model predictions, including HER2-enriched tumor cell aggregation and neutrophil-helper T-cell interactions, thereby highlighting the mechanistic interpretability of the model. Collectively, HER2-LADDER unites digital pathology and high-resolution spatial profiling into a clinically accessible AI framework, offering a robust, transparent, and biologically grounded tool to tailor individualized HER2-targeted therapy optimization.
