A study of 450 mTNBC patients in community practices found high biomarker testing rates and encouraging outcomes across racial groups, with Hispanic patients showing the longest survival. However, Black women of West African ancestry face the highest TNBC incidence and greater neuropathy from paclitaxel, making docetaxel a potential alternative. Social determinants like neighborhood deprivation and allostatic load are also linked to TNBC risk.

Lantern Pharma's LP-284 received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for soft tissue sarcomas, while the USPTO allowed a patent for biomarker-guided use of LP-184 in multiple cancers. LP-284 showed a complete metabolic response in a Phase 1 DLBCL patient, and LP-184 demonstrated a 45% disease control rate in advanced solid tumors.

A 64-year-old Australian man was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer after his wife noticed bloodstains on his shirt, a case doctors say highlights that men can and do get the disease. Meanwhile, advances in precision medicine now allow breast cancer treatment to be tailored to each tumour’s biology and the patient’s overall health.

Genomic technologies including whole-genome sequencing and polygenic risk scores are advancing precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Research reveals complex gene interactions in conditions like PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome and sex-specific metabolic signatures in Alzheimer's disease. The integration of genomics with molecular neurobiology offers potential for more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
