Beyond the Skin: A Rare Case of Primary Malignant Melanoma of the Lung. (PubMed, Cureus)
Given the tumour's unresectable nature due to proximity to critical mediastinal structures and the patient's comorbidities, she was initiated on a modified combination immune checkpoint inhibitor regimen with nivolumab and ipilimumab. This case highlights the importance of a meticulous diagnostic approach to solitary pulmonary lesions and underscores the evolving role of immunotherapy in managing rare malignancies such as PMML. Reporting such cases enhances the clinical understanding and guides future management of this rare disease.

Blurring the Lines: Co-Occurrence of MSH6 Variant and MLH1 Constitutional Epimutation in a Young Colorectal Cancer Patient. (PubMed, Clin Genet)
This case underscores the importance of comprehensive assessment integrating tumor and germline molecular data, particularly when clinical or molecular findings are atypical or discordant. The digenic etiology also raises questions regarding cancer surveillance and management strategies in such individuals.

Impact of sex on efficacy and safety of 1st-line treatment with FOLFIRI plus cetuximab or bevacizumab in RAS/BRAF wildtype metastatic colorectal cancer - A subgroup analysis of the FIRE-3 (AIO KRK-0306) trial. (PubMed, Eur J Cancer)
The exploratory analysis of FIRE-3 suggests that the efficacy of cetuximab combined with FOLFIRI in RAS wild-type mCRC is related to sex and primary tumor sidedness. The results support the inclusion of patient sex into the design of future trials.

Pyrotinib Plus Trastuzumab as an Effective Later-Line Therapeutic Strategy for HER2-Positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Results from a Phase II Study. (PubMed, Drug Des Devel Ther)
Pyrotinib plus trastuzumab demonstrates clinically meaningful efficacy and a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer. These findings support advancing this regimen as a potential alternative in refractory HER2-positive mCRC, particularly in the RAS/BRAF wild-type subgroup.
