Window-of-opportunity trials, during which patients receive short-duration pre-surgical therapies, provide a platform for understanding the therapies’ mechanisms of action, but will require a paradigm shift in trial design, specimen collection and analysis.

Preoperative immunochemotherapy versus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with stage I-IIIB small-cell lung cancer.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310003, China.
Background: To date, there remains a paucity of comparative investigations pertaining to preoperative immunochemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy in the context of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients. This study conducted a comprehensive comparative assessment concerning the safety and efficacy profiles of preoperative immunochemotherapy and chemotherapy in individuals diagnosed with stage I-IIIB SCLC.
Methods: This investigation collected 53 consecutive patients diagnosed with LS-SCLC spanning stage I to IIIB who underwent preoperative immunochemotherapy or conventional chemotherapy at our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021.
Influence of Postmastectomy Radiotherapy on Overall Survival in Patients With Clinical Prognostic Stage I-III Breast Cancer With Positive Responses and Achieving YPN0 Following Neoadjuvant Therapy: A Propensity Score Matching Based on the SEER Database.

Department of Oncology, The First Hospital of Jiaxing (Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University), Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China. Electronic address:
Introduction: The role of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in clinical prognostic stage I-III breast cancer patients with positive responses and achieving ypN0 after Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is controversial.
Methods: 3557 patients with TNM clinical prognostic stage (AJCC 8th Edition) I-III breast cancer with positive responses and achieving ypN0 following neoadjuvant therapy were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and followed through the end of 2020. COX proportional hazards models were employed to examine the associations between clinical or pathological parameters and OS.
Treatment advances across the cervical cancer spectrum.
Nat Rev Clin Oncol
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA.
Cervical cancer is preventable with screening and vaccination approaches; however, access to these preventative measures is limited both nationally and globally and thus many women will still develop cervical cancer. Novel treatments and practice-changing research have improved cervical cancer outcomes over the past few decades. In this Review, we discuss clinical trials that have refined or redefined the treatment of cervical cancers across the early stage, locally advanced, persistent, recurrent and/or metastatic disease settings.

The efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy varies significantly with hormone receptor (HR) status for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer (BC). Despite extensive research on HER2 + BC, the optimal neoadjuvant strategy for HR+/HER2 + BC remains inconclusive. This study aimed to identify the optimal neoadjuvant regimen for HR+/HER2 + BC treatment.

Propose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment of darolutamide, a next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor, plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPC).
Methods: This single-arm, multicenter, open-label phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05249712, 2022-01-01), recruited 30 localized high-risk/very high-risk prostate cancer (HRPCa/VHRPCa) patients from three centers in China between 2021 and 2023.
