Core Viewpoint - The study published in the British Medical Journal demonstrates that adding carboplatin to standard chemotherapy significantly improves survival outcomes for high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, increasing the three-year disease-free survival rate from 85.8% to 92.3% [2][3]. Study Design: Focus on High-Risk Patients - The CITRINE trial included 808 high-risk early-stage TNBC patients who underwent definitive surgical treatment, defined as high-risk due to either positive regional lymph nodes or negative lymph nodes with a Ki-67 proliferation index of ≥50% [5]. Treatment Protocol - Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: - Carboplatin group (experimental): Received four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by four cycles of paclitaxel combined with carboplatin [6][7]. - Standard treatment group (control): Received four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by four cycles of paclitaxel alone [9][10]. Significant Efficacy: Reduced Recurrence Risk - After a median follow-up of 44.7 months, the carboplatin group achieved a three-year disease-free survival rate of 92.3%, compared to 85.8% in the control group, indicating a 36% reduction in the risk of recurrence or death (hazard ratio of 0.64) [12][11]. Safety Profile: Manageable Risks - The incidence of grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events was 66.7% in the carboplatin group, slightly higher than the 55.0% in the control group, primarily involving hematological toxicities. No new safety issues were identified, and there were no treatment-related deaths [15][16]. Three-Year Survival Rates - Three-year recurrence-free survival: Carboplatin group 93.8% vs. control group 88.3% - Three-year distant disease-free survival: Carboplatin group 94.8% vs. control group 89.8% - Three-year overall survival: Carboplatin group 98.0% vs. control group 94.0% [17]. Study Significance - This research fills the evidence gap regarding carboplatin in adjuvant therapy, providing a clear treatment option for high-risk TNBC patients who undergo direct surgery without neoadjuvant therapy. Over half of clinical stage II-III TNBC patients receive direct surgery, highlighting the need for effective adjuvant therapies [18].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses a novel urine liquid biopsy method developed to enhance the prediction of bladder cancer patients' responses to surgery and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment, addressing the limitations of current diagnostic methods due to the "field effect" [3][6][17]. Group 1: Background and Challenges - Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a common type where patients typically undergo tumor resection followed by BCG immunotherapy, but BCG is not effective for all patients, and predictive biomarkers are lacking [6]. - Urine tumor DNA (utDNA) analysis is a non-invasive monitoring method, but the presence of somatic mutations in normal urothelial cells near tumors leads to false positives due to the "field effect," which acts as background noise [6][5]. Group 2: Innovative Methodology - The research team developed a statistical method named RePhyNERX to filter out mutations likely caused by the "field effect" by comparing tumor samples with normal tissues or post-treatment urine, significantly improving the specificity of utDNA detection [8][7]. - In a training cohort, the use of post-treatment urine for filtering yielded the best results, effectively distinguishing patient prognoses with a hazard ratio (HR) of 12.6, indicating a reduction in false positives [8]. Group 3: Clinical Validation - The study prospectively collected urine samples from 61 NMIBC patients undergoing BCG treatment, analyzing samples before surgery, before BCG treatment, and after treatment [10]. - Patients were categorized into three molecular response types: 1. Complete surgical responders: 39.3% had negative utDNA post-surgery, potentially curable by surgery alone 2. BCG responders: 27.9% had positive utDNA pre-treatment but significant decline post-treatment 3. Non-responders: 32.8% had persistent or rising utDNA post-treatment [10][11]. Group 4: Molecular Mechanisms - The research identified biomarkers distinguishing surgical responders from BCG responders, noting that BCG responders had a higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) and enriched immune-related gene expression, indicating a pre-existing immune activation environment is necessary for BCG efficacy [13][12]. - A high T cell/stroma enrichment score (TSE) correlated positively with BCG response, similar to predictive markers for immune checkpoint inhibitors [14]. Group 5: Future Prospects - This research not only improves the accuracy of urine liquid biopsy but also paves the way for personalized treatment strategies, allowing utDNA negative patients to potentially avoid unnecessary BCG treatment and reducing side effects, while positive patients can receive early intensified treatment [17]. - The method has potential applications in other cancers, such as lung and head and neck cancers, addressing the "field effect" issue [18].
