Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women worldwide due to its aggressive nature, early metastasis, and resistance to standard chemotherapy. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anticancer drug and remains one of the most effective treatments for breast cancer. This review delves into the diverse anticancer attributes of DOX, encompassing its ability to induce DNA damage, provoke the production of reactive oxygen species, facilitate various mechanisms of cell death, and promote or enhance an anti-tumor immune response. Through an analysis of both monotherapy and combination therapy approaches, this review underscores the immense significance of DOX in contemporary breast cancer treatment. It also delves into the limitations of DOX-based therapies and provides insights into future perspectives for research and development in this field.

Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells (ECFCs) are recognized as key vasculogenic progenitors in humans and serve as valuable liquid biopsies for diagnosing and studying vascular disorders. In a groundbreaking study, Anceschi et al. present a novel, integrative strategy that combines ECFCs loaded with gold nanorods (AuNRs) to enhance tumor radiosensitization through localized hyperthermia.

Purpose: Limited data is available assessing sequencing of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR +), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative, HER2-low, and triple-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC), including patients with brain metastases (BrM) or leptomeningeal disease (LMD). This study assesses the efficacy and safety of sequential sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in MBC and impact on chemotherapy (CTX).
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, cohort study in adult patients with HR + , HER2-negative, or low MBC who received T-DXd and/or SG.
