Construction of a survival prognosis model for epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related genes in gastric cancer. (PubMed, Eur J Med Res)
Our study provides a prognostic assessment tool for GC based on EMT-related genes and offers novel insights into understanding the roles of EMT in GC progression and treatment resistance. These findings may aid in the development of precision therapy strategies for GC.

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.

Development and validation of a two-dimensional liquid chromatography method for therapeutic drug monitoring of pyrotinib in human plasma. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
The developed 2D-LC analytical method not only demonstrates good precision, accuracy, recovery, and stability, but also is simple, rapid, feasible, and practical for TDM. It can be used for the concentration monitoring of pyrotinib in clinic, providing more scientific evidence for clinical practice.

Two Cases of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor L861R Mutation-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma Treated With Osimertinib and Afatinib. (PubMed, Cancer Rep (Hoboken))
Here, we present the first case showing the anti-tumor efficacy of afatinib and the second case showing the anti-tumor efficacy of osimertinib in a patient with EGFR L861R-positive lung adenocarcinoma. Despite their short treatment durations, afatinib and osimertinib may have potential clinical activity in patients with EGFR L861R-positive lung cancer.

Inhibition of CDKs Enhances Efficacy of Anti-EGFR Therapy in Chordoma. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
Importantly, co-treatments exhibited greater inhibition of tumor growth than single treatments in cell line- and patient-derived xenograft models. Taken together, our data revealed that THZ1 or TG02 enhanced in vitro and in vivo efficacy of afatinib, suggesting a potential novel combination therapeutic strategy for patients with chordoma.

Assessment of the efficacy of various neoadjuvant anti-HER2 targeted therapies combined with chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer in the real-world setting and development of a predictive model for pathological complete response. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The efficacy of NAT regimens containing trastuzumab plus pertuzumab (HP) and trastuzumab plus pyrotinib (HPy) was compared. Both HP and HPy combined with chemotherapy can be considered as optional NAT regimens for HER2-positive BC. The nomogram incorporating common clinical indicators provides a basis for clinicians to predict NAT efficacy at an earlier stage.

A targeted combination therapy achieves effective pancreatic cancer regression and prevents tumor resistance. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)
Likewise, a combination of selective inhibitors of KRAS (RMC-6236/daraxonrasib), EGFR family (afatinib), and STAT3 (SD36) induced the complete regression of orthotopic PDAC tumors with no evidence of tumor resistance for over 200 d posttreatment...Of importance, this combination therapy was well tolerated. In sum, these results should guide the development of new clinical trials that may benefit PDAC patients.
