Genomic Aberrations and Late Recurrence in Postmenopausal Women with Hormone Receptor-positive Early Breast Cancer: Results from the SOLE Trial

Elena Guerini-Rocco et al.

Summary: Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer harboring FGFR1CNG had an increased risk of late recurrence despite extended therapy. FGFR1 CNG may represent a useful prognostic biomarker for late recurrence and a therapeutic target.

Palbociclib with adjuvant endocrine therapy in early breast cancer (PALLAS): interim analysis of a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3 study

Erica L. Mayer et al.

Summary: The PALLAS trial investigated whether adding 2 years of palbociclib to adjuvant endocrine therapy could improve invasive disease-free survival in early-stage hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients, but the results showed no significant benefit. The trial was then discontinued based on the lack of efficacy observed during the planned second interim analysis.

Liquid biopsy enters the clinic - implementation issues and future challenges

Michail Ignatiadis et al.

Summary: The approval of liquid biopsy assays for detecting genetic alterations in plasma cell-free DNA has marked a tipping point for the clinical use of this technology, especially in patients with advanced-stage cancer. The next frontier is likely to be the systemic treatment of patients with 'ctDNA relapse' and other potential future applications include cancer screening and diagnosis.

Phase III randomized study of taselisib or placebo with fulvestrant in estrogen receptor-positive, PIK3CA-mutant, HER2-negative, advanced breast cancer: the SANDPIPER trial

S. Dent et al.

Summary: The SANDPIPER study demonstrated that Taselisib plus fulvestrant significantly improved progression-free survival in patients with PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer. However, due to safety concerns and modest clinical benefit, the combination therapy does not have clinical utility.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Palbociclib for Residual High-Risk Invasive HR-Positive and HER2-Negative Early Breast Cancer-The Penelope-B Trial

Sibylle Loibl et al.

Summary: The study investigated the efficacy of palbociclib in breast cancer patients with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, showing that palbociclib in addition to endocrine therapy did not improve invasive disease-free survival. Some related serious adverse events were reported, but no significant difference between treatment arms.

Genomic profile of advanced breast cancer in circulating tumour DNA

Belinda Kingston et al.

Summary: Genomic profiling of advanced breast cancer using plasma circulating tumour DNA sequencing revealed diverse subclonal resistance mutations, with distinct mutational processes identified in ER-positive breast cancer. This study highlights the importance of subclonal diversification in pre-treated advanced breast cancer, presenting novel therapeutic opportunities.

Blood-based genomics of triple-negative breast cancer progression in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy

E. Ortolan et al.

Summary: ctDNA is not only associated with and predictive of prognosis in TNBC patients undergoing NAC, but also represents a valuable tool for personalized TNBC management, either alone or in combination with CTCs. CTC analysis at clinical progression revealed CNAs on chromosome 10 and 21q, highlighting the involvement of interconnected signaling pathways in TNBC recurrence.

Multimodal analysis of cell-free DNA whole-genome sequencing for pediatric cancers with low mutational burden

Peter Peneder et al.

Summary: The study introduces an integrated genetic/epigenetic analysis method for liquid biopsy of pediatric tumors with few genetic aberrations. The LIQUORICE algorithm is developed for detecting and classifying circulating tumor DNA based on cancer-specific chromatin signatures. The research highlights the potential value of cfDNA fragmentation patterns as prognostic biomarkers in Ewing sarcoma and makes liquid biopsy benefits more accessible for childhood cancers.
