A 66-Year-Old Woman with EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma and Brain Metastases Achieving 96-Month Overall Survival with serially deploying three distinct third-generation EGFR-TKIs (ESMO Asia 2025) - "First-line icotinib plus paclitaxel/nedaplatin was given and achieved PR and 36-month PFS...Osimertinib 80mg qd combined with pemetrexed chemotherapy for 5 cycles, followed by osimertinib monotherapy, yielded 25-month PFS until isolated CNS progression. Despite concomitant whole-brain radiotherapy and bevacizumab with Osimertinib, intracranial lesions advanced...This exceptional survival in advanced EGFR+ NSCLC was achieved through initial chemo-TKI therapy, sequential third-generation TKIs (osi→almo→furmo) for CNS control, and furmonertinib dose escalation for late CNS progression. The persistent TP53 co-mutation suggests a resistance mechanism, while PD-L1 negativity excluded immunotherapy, demonstrating the efficacy of optimized TKI sequencing alone."

Safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (ERACT) for organ preservation in early-stage oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma with high-risk features: A prospective, multicenter, phase II clinical trial (ESMO Asia 2025) - P2 | "After ER, all patients received concurrent CRT: 45 Gy in 25 fractions (1.8 Gy/fraction), boosted to 54 Gy for positive margins, plus weekly nedaplatin (25 mg/m2) and paclitaxel liposome (45 mg/m2). ER plus adjuvant CRT shows safety and efficacy in stage I ESCC with pathological high-risk features. Phase III randomized trials are required to confirm its benefits."

Otoprotective measures for cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy-induced toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Support Care Cancer) - "Through our systematic review, we identified a limited number of studies of measures to prevent the ototoxic effects of high-dose cisplatin-based CRT. Most studies had negative results, small patient populations, and were of low quality. Only low-dose cisplatin-based CRT tended to reduce the incidence of ototoxicity while maintaining survival data similar to those of high-dose cisplatin-based CRT."

Evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy for stage IIIa non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep) - "Patients were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 41) treated with a combination of platinum-based chemotherapy (pemetrexed and nedaplatin) and the PD-1 inhibitor cindilizumab, and a control group (n = 41) treated with conventional platinum-based chemotherapy. These findings support the integration of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and chemotherapy as a promising strategy for treating stage IIIa NSCLC, offering improved resection rates, survival, and reduced complications. Further research is warranted to optimize treatment protocols and validate these results in larger, multicentre studies."

Copper oxide nanoparticles as delivery vehicles for different Pt(II)-drugs: experimental and theoretical evaluation. (PubMed, J Mater Chem B) - "In this work, we examined the loading efficiency of cisplatin, oxaliplatin and nedaplatin on the surface of CuO nanoparticles by using experimental techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, the BET method, and XRD, and theoretical ones based on DFT calculations under periodic boundary conditions (PBC). However, cisplatin has the most intense contact with the copper oxide surface, with an adsorption energy (Eads) of -3.0 eV. Both experimental and theoretical results highlight that CuO nanoparticles are excellent Pt(II) anticancer drug carriers, especially in the case of cisplatin, which undergoes strong interactions with the support, necessary for the delivery phase, and easy desorption, important in the antitumor action phase of the drug."
