Background: The standard first-line treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer currently includes pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of KN026, an anti-HER2 bispecific antibody, plus docetaxel in first-line treatment of HER2-positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer.
Methods: This open-label, single-arm, phase II study enrolled patients with HER2-positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer in 19 centers across China from December 30, 2019 to May 27, 2021.

Purpose: Type 2 deiodinase (D2), encoded by DIO2 gene, catalyzes the activation of the prohormone thyroxine (T4) into the bioactive hormone triiodothyronine (T3) in peripheral tissues, thereby regulating the intracellular Thyroid Hormone (TH) availability. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that a drastic increase in the peripheral activation of TH, via D2, fosters tumor progression, metastasis, and immunity.
Methods: To further prove the clinical relevance of D2 in human cancer, based on public Database of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we conducted a pan-cancer analysis of DIO2 expression in various cancer types and investigated the association of DIO2 expression with the tumor microenvironment (TME) components and immune cell infiltration, along with the DIO2 genetic alteration types.

With the rise of AI platforms, patients increasingly use them for information, relying on advanced language models like ChatGPT for answers and advice. However, the effectiveness of ChatGPT in educating thyroid cancer patients remains unclear. We designed 50 questions covering key areas of thyroid cancer management and generated corresponding responses under four different prompt strategies.

Purpose: After initial approval of lenvatinib for radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), it has also shown promising outcomes in among others metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Given that trial populations typically do not represent routine clinical care populations, questions arise about how applicable trial outcomes are in clinical practice. This study aims to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), toxicity patterns, and survival data of lenvatinib in a real-world cohort with DTC and mRCC to those observed in pivotal clinical trials.
