Real-world evidence of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) Efficacy in HER2-expressing gynecological malignancies. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Regarding responses, 5 patients had partial response (including 2 patients that were pretreated with trastuzumab), 1 patient had stable disease at 12 weeks and 4 patients had disease progression at initial assessment. All patients but one that derived clinical benefit had HER2 3 + expression.DiscussionIn the real-world setting, T-DXd showed activity in a cohort of heavily pre-treated patients with HER2-expressing gynecological malignancies.

NNMT overexpression is an adverse prognostic factor in uterine leiomyosarcoma. (PubMed, Turk J Med Sci)
The consequences of NNMT overexpression, such as the activation and inactivation of oncoproteins and tumor suppressor proteins, respectively, as well as the enrichment of the cancer stem cell population, overlap with the major mechanisms responsible for poor prognosis in mesenchymal tumors. NNMT may be investigated further in the context of antitumor treatment in patients with mesenchymal malignancies.

Unraveling the Role of Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal Proteins in Human Uterine Leiomyosarcoma. (PubMed, Cells)
Furthermore, inhibiting BET proteins with their small, potent inhibitors (JQ1 and I-BET 762) significantly inhibited the uLMS proliferation dose-dependently via cell cycle arrest. The connections between BET proteins and crucial biological pathways provide a fundamental structure to better understand uterine diseases, particularly uLMS pathogenesis. Accordingly, targeting the vulnerable epigenome may provide an additional regulatory mechanism for uterine cancer treatment.

Impact of comprehensive genomic profiling on the diagnosis and clinical management of mesenchymal tumours (ECP 2024)
In our practice, a significant proportion of patients were prescreened with a smaller NGS panel. Despite this fact, we still found actionable alterations in 23,8% of the patients, which is in line with those reported in the literature (22-61%). Our results demonstrate that CGP can provide useful additional information and can be beneficial in the clinical management of patients with mesenchymal tumours.

PLAG1-Rearranged Uterine Sarcomas: A Study of 11 Cases Showing a Wide Phenotypical Spectrum Not Limited to Myxoid Leiomyosarcoma-like Morphology. (PubMed, Mod Pathol)
Our study documents a much broader morphological spectrum of PLAG1-US than previously reported, encompassing but not limited to M-LMS-like morphology with occasional heterologous (particularly adipocytic) differentiation. Since it is currently difficult to precisely define their line of differentiation, for the time being, we suggest using a descriptive name PLAG1-rearranged uterine sarcoma.

Inhibition of aberrantly overexpressed Polo-like kinase 4 is a potential effective treatment for DNA damage repair-deficient uterine leiomyosarcoma. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
Uterine LMS with DNA repair defects is sensitive to PLK4 inhibition because of the effects of chromosome missegregation and increased DNA damage. Loss-of-function BRCA2 alterations or pharmacological inhibition of ATM enhanced the efficacy of PLK4 inhibitor. Genomic profiling of an advanced-stage or recurrent uterine LMS may guide therapy.

Roles of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma. (PubMed, Anticancer Res)
Expression levels of MMP2 and MMP9 were upregulated in malignant uLMS tumors when compared with those in benign uterine leiomyoma tumors. Increased MMP2 expression might promote uLMS invasion and migration. MMP9 overexpression might be related to uLMS occurrence; however, it protects against uLMS invasion and metastasis. MMP2 and MMP9 may be potential predictors of uLMS cell proliferation, metastasis, and prognosis. These findings could be helpful in developing new strategies for diagnosing and treating uLMS.

Uterine Leiomyosarcoma Associated With Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor: A Phenomenon of Differentiation/Dedifferentiation and Evidence Suggesting Cell-of-Origin. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
We hypothesize that LMSs containing smooth muscle progenitor cells may give rise to divergent, lineage-specific PEComatous lesions through differentiation or dedifferentiation. While we do not dispute the recognition of PEComas as a distinct entity, we advocate the hypothesis that modified smooth muscle cells represent the origin of a subset of PEComas, and our case series provides evidence to suggest this theory.
