20th anniversary of adjuvant trastuzumab: reflections on a breakthrough moment. (PubMed, Ann Oncol)
Similarly, while clinical factors and imaging tools may help identify early on patients at higher risk of experiencing TIC, no cardioprotective strategy has yet demonstrated robust and conclusive benefit. Despite the emergence of newer anti-HER2 agents and evolving treatment paradigms, trastuzumab will probably continue to serve as a key therapeutic backbone, especially for patients with lower risk HER2+ eBC.

Molecular pathology of bladder cancer. (PubMed, Histopathology)
Alterations in FGFR3, commonly found in the luminal-papillary molecular subtype associated with low response to immunotherapy, are the target of erdafitinib. Enfortumab vedotin, which targets Nectin-4 (expressed in >95% of urothelial carcinomas), is approved for patients who progress after chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy...Sacituzumab govitecan, an antibody-drug conjugate directed against Trop-2, is effective in basal, luminal and stroma-rich subtypes but not in neuroendocrine carcinomas. In addition, therapies developed for HER2-positive breast cancer have shown efficacy in urothelial carcinoma, with recent data from the DESTINY pan-tumour phase II trial leading to FDA approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-overexpressing metastatic urothelial carcinoma. This paper is a comprehensive review of the molecular pathology of bladder cancer, highlighting advances in molecular classification, biomarkers and personalized therapies. The transition from morphology-based classifications to combined morphological and molecular approaches, with therapeutic implications, is also addressed.

A New Hope: Dual Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Blockade and Chemotherapy in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Amplified Colorectal Cancer - A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
Dual HER2-targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy is a promising strategy for HER2-positive mCRC patients with good performance status. This approach warrants validation in large-scale clinical trials to confirm its efficacy.

Metformin enhances alpelisib sensitivity in HER2+ breast cancer by suppressing cancer stemness and oncogenic signaling. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
These findings indicate that metformin synergistically enhances the antitumor activity of alpelisib in HER2-positive breast cancer by inhibiting oncogenic signaling and stemness pathways. Beyond its metabolic benefit in mitigating hyperglycemia, metformin may potentiate PI3K-targeted therapies, supporting further preclinical and clinical evaluation of this combination strategy.

Efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan in HER2-high and HER2-low breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (PubMed, J Chemother)
However, T-DXd increased the risks of interstitial lung disease (relative risk &lsqb;RR] = 13.832; P < 0.001), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (RR = 2.247; P < 0.001), anemia, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and alopecia; neutropenia and diarrhea risks were comparable between groups. These findings highlight T-DXd's survival benefits and toxicity profile warranting monitoring.

HER2 in Gynecological Malignancies: Bridging the Gap Between Standardized Pathological Assessment and Precision Therapy. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
Trastuzumab-based therapy has shown survival benefit in HER2-positive SEC, leading to its inclusion in current treatment guidelines...The prognostic value remains debated, though recent trials of antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., T-DXd) show promise...Diagnostic challenges include variable scoring systems, intratumoral heterogeneity, and HER2-low classification. Standardization of testing criteria and further clinical validation of HER2-targeted strategies across gynecologic tumors are essential to guide personalized therapy and improve outcomes.

Clinical significance, prognosis, and risk model of SDHB expression loss and ERBB2 expression in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. (PubMed, Endocr Connect)
Therefore, these two aspects are the key objectives of our research. We investigated SDHB expression loss and ERBB2 expression at the protein level, exploring the correlation between them, conducting prognostic analysis, and establishing a risk model, in order to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic ideas and data support for the clinical management of PPGL patients.

Disitamab vedotin (RC48-ADC) combined with immunotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a multicenter real-world study. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy or perioperative durvalumab with neoadjuvant gemcitabine-cisplatin has been the primary treatment for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC)...Twenty-five patients (cT2-4aN0-2M0) received at least four cycles of RC48 (2.0 mg/kg, Q2W or Q3W) with toripalimab, tislelizumab, or pembrolizumab, followed by radical cystectomy...Treatment-related adverse events were manageable. These findings suggest that RC48 combined with PD-1 inhibitors is a promising neoadjuvant strategy for localized MIBC and warrants further validation in biomarker-selected populations.

Complete response following trastuzumab-deruxtecan in a man with HER2-overexpressing metastatic, poorly differentiated scrotal carcinoma. (PubMed, Oncologist)
The treatment resulted in a complete response, with a tolerable side effect profile and ongoing treatment-free survival. Our case adds to the literature suggesting clinical benefit of the use of Trastuzumab-deruxtecan in HER2-positive tumors, and underscores the importance of molecular testing for patients with rare tumor subtypes.
