SBRT to oligometastatic lesions consistently delays ADT, improves PFS, and in some trials cuts biochemical recurrence.
Phase III data is still maturing. Patient selection varies. Imaging definitions differ. @NatRevUrol@OncoAlert@APCCC_Lugano
🚨 p53 is the most mutated gene in cancer… but still NO approved reactivator.
That may finally be changing.
A new wave of mutation-specific p53 reactivation is showing real clinical signal 👇
🧬 Why this matters
~50% cancers harbor TP53 mutations
Tumor suppressors need restoration, not inhibition → historically “undruggable”
💊 The shift: precision reactivation
Old approach ❌ “one-size-fits-all” (APR-246) → weak activity
New approach ✅ mutation-specific targeting
👉 Rezatapopt (PC14586)
Targets Y220C p53 pocket → refolds mutant protein
📊 PYNNACLE trial
• ORR: 19.7% (14/71)
• KRAS WT: 30.4%
• KRAS mutant: 0%
• Grade 3–4 AEs: ~50%, no grade 5
📌 Biology-driven selection = real signal
🧠 Big shift
Not all p53 mutations are equal
→ Structural mutants can be rescued
→ Needs mutation-specific drugs + basket trials
🎯 Takeaway
We are entering:
👉 Targeted therapy for tumor suppressors
👉 Ultra-precise oncology
🔖 Save this: p53 is back

**Title: Potential Biomarker for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Connective Tissue Diseases** ‼️
🔬✨ Excited about the potential of **Anti-ANXA5** as a predictive biomarker for PAH in connective tissue diseases! Here are some key findings from our study:
1. **Connection to PAH**: Studied PAH in CTDs like SLE, MCTD, and SS, excluding systemic sclerosis.
2. **Sample Size**: Analyzed sera from 86 CTD patients (32 with PAH, 54 without).
3. **Autoantibody Identification**: Used 1D and 2D immunoblots and proteomics for detecting AFA and AECA.
4. **Key Findings**: PAH+ patients showed distinct IgG reactivity against fibroblasts & endothelial cells.
5. **Notable Autoantibody**: Anti-ANXA5 IgG significantly higher in PAH+ patients with MCTD (73% vs 0%) and SLE (33% vs 0%).
6. **Conclusion**: Anti-ANXA5 could be a predictive biomarker for PAH in MCTD & SLE patients.

Update:
✅ 5 of the highly awaited BC trials with positive results
❌ one negative trial (but with positive OS)
Results from the remaining trials expected in 2025.
Breast oncology keeps moving extremely fast.
Time to move beyond the one-size-fits all paradigm for residual disease
