Molecular Subtype-Associated Response to Cyclophosphamide-Epirubicin-Cisplatin Regimen in Recurrent or Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Retrospective Single-Center Study. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
CEP is active in R/M ACC, and prior TKI exposure did not appear to reduce efficacy. Higher response rates in ACC-I tumors and the apparent PIK3CA-related survival deficit are exploratory observations that need prospective testing before they can guide treatment.

An Extreme Clinical Diagnosis: Primary Metastatic Breast Cancer with Complete Bilateral Breast Contour Elimination and Ulceration. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
Six cycles of systemic chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide at three-week intervals were administered, followed by endocrine therapy with letrozole. Almost four years later, palbociclib became available and it was added to the patient's treatment...As this is a single-case clinical observation, any conclusions have limited generalizability. Given the rarity of primary metastatic ulcerative breast cancer there are no specific evidence-based treatment guidelines available and published studies have high heterogeneity and low level of evidence, necessitating multidisciplinary approach on a case-by-case basis.

Metastatic malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast with rapid progression and subsequent response to immunotherapy: a case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Following eight cycles of ifosfamide plus epirubicin chemotherapy, tumor burden was reduced by more than 90%. Although first-line chemotherapy produced marked pulmonary tumor regression, subsequent anlotinib maintenance therapy did not prevent disease progression. In this PD-L1-positive tumor (CPS 10), sintilimab-based combination therapy yielded a marked clinical and radiographic response, supporting further investigation of ICI-based therapy in selected patients with metastatic MPT.

First-line ET plus palbociclib versus standard mono-chemotherapy in high-risk HR-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer and indication for chemotherapy: primary results from the randomized phase IV PADMA study. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
PADMA is the first randomized multicenter study to show that palbociclib + ET as first-line treatment compared with CT also leads to improvements in TTF and PFS in predominantly postmenopausal patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative mBC.

Association of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin with Improved Overall Survival Compared with Epirubicin in Early-Stage Breast Cancer: A Population Based Study from Taiwan. (PubMed, Breast Cancer (Dove Med Press))
In this nationwide propensity score-matched cohort, adjuvant Lipo-Dox was associated with sustained overall survival benefits without increased cardiotoxic risk compared with epirubicin. Lipo-Dox may represent a favorable anthracycline alternative, particularly for patients with cardiovascular comorbidities or elevated cardiotoxicity risk.

Case Report: A case of primary renal synovial sarcoma. (PubMed, Front Surg)
Postoperatively, the patient received chemotherapy with epirubicin combined with ifosfamide. Follow-up showed no significant evidence of metastasis or recurrence. This report aims to provide clinical reference regarding the imaging findings and diagnosis of this rare disease, primary renal synovial sarcoma.

Epirubicin-Induced Upregulation of miR-143-3p and miR-145 Enhances Cytotoxicity in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and BT-474 Breast Cancer Cell Lines. (PubMed, Biochem Genet)
These findings suggest that Epirubicin enhances therapeutic efficacy by upregulating miR-143-3p and miR-145, potentially mitigating drug resistance. This highlights their potential as therapeutic targets for improving outcomes in resistant breast cancer subtypes.

Antibody-drug conjugate therapy in a renal transplant patient with bladder cancer: A case report. (PubMed, Clin Nephrol)
After initial treatment with transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), the patient underwent regular bladder instillations of epirubicin...Due to the patient's renal impairment (baseline creatinine 107.8 µmol/L, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 79.19 mL/min/1.73m2) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression (2+), the decision was made to employ an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting HER2 (disitamab vedotin, 120 mg intravenously). The report outlines the patient's background, the progression of his disease, the decision-making process behind the use of ADC therapy, and the subsequent response to treatment. The successful control of the disease with ADC therapy in this complex patient population highlights its potential as an effective and less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapy, particularly in patients with recurrent bladder cancer after renal transplantation.
