Mediastinal Lymphoma in 70 Dogs Treated With Lomustine or Anthracycline-Based Multi-Agent Chemotherapy. (PubMed, Vet Comp Oncol)
This is the second study associating hypercalcaemia with improved PFS in dogs with non-indolent T-cell lymphoma. Results also suggest prognostic significance of specific CD4/CD8 expression patterns.

A network-driven computational framework for identifying FDA-approved drug repurposing across heterogeneous brain cancers. (PubMed, Front Mol Biosci)
As a result, three repurposed drugs were identified as priorities: (i) mefloquine (reference drug: vorasidenib citrate), (ii) clofibric acid (reference drug: carmustine), and armillarisin A (reference drug: lomustine). These results also suggest repurposing candidates for synergistic combinations across different brain tumors. The two applications developed in this work are freely accessible and in the public domain at https://assay.smallmoles.com/escorwin.

Ivosidenib treatment in IDH-mutant WHO grade 4 astrocytomas: illustrative case. (PubMed, J Neurosurg Case Lessons)
Here the authors report the effects of the off-label use of ivosidenib. The INDIGO trial published evidence of efficacy in using an IDH inhibitor for low-grade gliomas. The role of these drugs in high-grade IDH-mutant gliomas is currently unknown. Further studies are needed to assess their impact on overall and progression-free survival. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25572.

Defying the Odds in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Complete Response following Salvage Therapy with Bevacizumab and Irinotecan - A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
In this discourse, we delineate the case of a 42-year-old male patient diagnosed with IDH-wild-type, MGMT-unmethylated, TERT promoter-mutated, and EGFR-amplified GBM, who manifested an early recurrence during adjuvant temozolomide therapy. Our findings, contextualized within contemporary evidence on re-irradiation (stereotactic radiosurgery/fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy) and combinatorial strategies (BEV with lomustine or irinotecan), underscore the need for further empirical investigation to optimize treatment sequencing in r-GBM. This case emphasizes the necessity for individualized multimodal approaches to improve outcomes in this refractory patient population.

Cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphoma with marked nuclear pleomorphism in a dog. (PubMed, J Vet Sci)
Here, we report atypical clinicopathological features observed in the case of CEL. These findings have potential biological, diagnostic, and prognostic relevance, emphasizing the need for further studies to elucidate their clinical significance and to expand the understanding of this disease.
