Oncological outcomes in pancreatic cancer similar with less-invasive vs open surgery

18 Dec 2025

In patients with upfront resectable pancreatic cancer, minimally invasive left pancreatectomy (MILP) and open left pancreatectomy (OLP) appear to result in similar oncological outcomes, as shown in the DIPLOMA trial.

HPV vaccine uptake remains low in SG despite improved awareness

18 Dec 2025 by

Knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has improved in Singapore following government efforts to enhance cervical cancer awareness through national campaigns and policy changes. However, this has not translated to an increase in vaccine acceptance rates, according to a study.

Transfusion independence and improvements in symptoms and splenomegaly in two patients with PMF and anaemia treated with a JAK inhibitor

13 Dec 2025 by

A 52-year-old female presented with leukocytosis and thrombocytosis, and was diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in 2019. She had no significant past medical history and no anaemia at initial diagnosis. Molecular testing identified a type 2 calreticulin (CALR) mutation, and risk stratification using Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS)-plus classified her as having very low-risk PMF. At that time, she was considered to be in the early phase of the disease.

Achieving very good PR with lorlatinib and managing AEs in an ALK-positive NSCLC patient with high tumour burden

12 Dec 2025 by

A 60-year-old female homemaker, never-smoker and never-drinker, with good past health, presented in March 2024 with persistent cough and progressively worsening shortness of breath of 3 weeks following COVID-19 infection. Physical examination revealed an enlarged left supraclavicular lymph node (LN) of approximately 2.5 cm. Chest X-ray (CXR) showed a shadow in the left upper lobe (LUL) of the lung.

Osimertinib plus chemo-therapy: A promising 1L option for high-risk EGFRm NSCLC

11 Dec 2025 by

The treatment landscape for EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving, with many exciting developments on the horizon. At a recent scientific symposium, experts in lung cancer gathered to review the latest advances. This article highlights the key takeaways from the symposium, summarizing FLAURA2 trial data presented by Professor Natalia Valdiviezo from San Ignacio de Loyola University, Lima, Peru, and main insights from the panel discussion led by Dr Herbert Loong from the Department of Clinical Oncology, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, with contributions from Dr James Ho of the Department of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, and Dr Michael Kam, Specialist in Clinical Oncology in Hong Kong.

Achieving ultra-low PSA levels with ADT plus ARPI improves mHSPC outcomes in a patient with comorbidities

11 Dec 2025 by

A 70-year-old male was diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC) after presenting with increased urinary frequency and an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 71 ng/mL in October 2022. (Figure) MRI revealed a 3 cm left prostatic lesion without pelvic lymph node involvement or bone metastases, with possible extraprostatic extension and seminal vesicle invasion. Transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy confirmed prostatic adenocarcinoma in 8 out of 12 cores, with a Gleason score of 4 + 3.

Addressing unmet needs in mTNBC: Insights on Trop-2–directed ADCs

11 Dec 2025 by

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with limited treatment options and historically poor outcomes. Prior to the emergence of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), palliative sequential single-agent chemotherapy was the mainstay of treatment for metastatic TNBC (mTNBC), offering limited response and survival. In an interview with MIMS Oncology, Dr Rodrigo Sánchez-Bayona from the Universitary Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain, discussed how Trop-2–targeted ADCs have changed the treatment landscape of mTNBC and predicted their future role in the changing treatment paradigm. He highlighted data on sacituzumab govitecan (SG), an ADC that has demonstrated efficacy regardless of Trop-2 expression status or presence of biomarkers while maintaining quality of life (QoL), and shared a patient case with rapidly progressing mTNBC effectively treated with SG.
