The Impact of BRAF Mutational Status on Survival in Melanoma Patients: Single Centre Experience. (PubMed, Acta Dermatovenerol Croat)
However, in patients with BRAF-mutated melanomas, those who received BRAF inhibitors exhibited improved survival outcomes in advanced disease stages (p = 0.0025). Our study indicates that BRAF-mutated melanoma patients with distant metastases receiving BRAF inhibitors have significantly improved survival compared to those not receiving targeted therapy, supporting the clinical benefit of BRAF inhibitor use in appropriately selected patients.

Bilateral extensive adult-onset limbal xanthogranuloma invading the deep corneal stroma: a case report and literature review. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
Persistent chronic inflammation alongside hyperlipidemia may have contributed to the disease's etiology. Regarding lesions exhibiting deep stromal invasion, integrating LKP with intralesional corticosteroid administration may be a useful therapeutic approach in selected vision-threatening cases.

Mapping the anatomical landscape of colorectal tumours: Location-specific efficacy of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies: Pooled analysis of randomised trials. (PubMed, Eur J Cancer)
The efficacy of anti-EGFR therapy in mCRC appears to exhibit additional intraregional heterogeneity beyond the conventional right-left classification. These findings suggest that anatomical tumour location may reflect underlying biological differences not fully captured by this binary classification.

Molecular Characterization of Hotspot Mutations in HER2, BRAF, KRAS, and PIK3CA in Canine Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma from Japan. (PubMed, Vet Sci)
Functional analysis demonstrated increased sensitivity of AZACL2 cells to the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and MEK inhibitors including trametinib, compared with BRAF wild-type cell lines. The mutation spectrum was broadly consistent with previous reports, suggesting a conserved molecular landscape across geographic regions. Collectively, these data identify BRAF and HER2 alterations as clinically relevant candidates for molecular diagnostics and targeted therapy in canine pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

High therapeutic efficacy of triplet therapy in unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer and its optimal application strategies. (PubMed, Int J Clin Oncol)
Triplet chemotherapy based on FOLFOXIRI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan) has achieved high response rates and deep tumor shrinkage. In combination with molecularly targeted agents, triplet therapy plus bevacizumab, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody, has demonstrated superior efficacy compared with doublet chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. In patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type tumors, combination therapy with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab and panitumumab has also shown improved survival outcomes, although toxicity remains a major concern...This review outlines the historical development of triplet therapy in mCRC, summarizes the major clinical trials investigating triplet chemotherapy combined with molecularly targeted agents, and discusses direct comparisons between anti-VEGF- and anti-EGFR-based strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on practical considerations for clinical implementation, including toxicity management, dose optimization, and multidisciplinary supportive care.

Liquid biopsies for BRAF V600E assessment and monitoring in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: a real-world study of a tertiary cancer center. (PubMed, Endocrine)
BRAFV600E-mutant ATC displays distinct clinical features and improved survival when treated with targeted therapy; ddPCR-based liquid biopsy provides a rapid and sensitive method for BRAFV600E detection and may support timely therapeutic decision-making. Serial LB analysis may contribute to disease monitoring and detection of resistance mechanisms in selected patients.

Complete Response in Metastatic Rectal Cancer with Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases Treated with Second-Line FOLFIRI plus Ramucirumab: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
We report a case of metastatic CRC that achieved CR following second-line treatment with FOLFIRI plus ramucirumab after disease progression on first-line FOLFOX plus panitumumab therapy...In the present case, a watch-and-wait strategy was selected to prioritize organ preservation. Given the lack of consensus, further investigation is required to define the optimal strategy for patients achieving CR.

Impact of Driver Genetic Alterations on Survival in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients from a Genetically Homogeneous Sardinian Population: A Real-World Study. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Increasing age at the time of first-line therapy for advanced disease stage was associated with a statistically significant increase in the hazard of death (p = 0.031). In the advanced disease stage, RAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal cancers were significantly associated with a survival advantage.

Anti-EGFR-based maintenance versus stop and go in patients with left-sided, non-MSI-H, RAS/BRAF-wt metastatic colorectal cancer: individual patient data pooled analysis. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
This pooled analysis of candidates considered optimal for initial anti-EGFR-based therapy supports both stop and go and maintenance as de-intensification strategies to consider in shared decision making. Adequately powered phase III studies are advocated to compare the two strategies.

Preoperative Co-Mutation of BRAFV600E and TERT Promoter Predicts Tumor Aggressiveness and Recurrence-Free Survival in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
BRAFV600E and TERT promoter co-mutation, identifiable preoperatively, defines a distinct PTC subtype with a profoundly aggressive clinicopathological profile and a significantly elevated risk of recurrence. This combined molecular signature is a potent preoperative biomarker for stratifying patients into the highest-risk category, potentially guiding more individualized initial therapeutic strategies.
