Tracing ASCO丨Professor Yongmei Yin: OptiTROP-Breast05 Study Selected for Oral Presentation, Domestic TROP2 ADC Once Again in the Spotlight

Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (sac-TMT) is a novel TROP2-targeted ADC independently developed in China. Over the past two years, its clinical findings have been frequently presented at major international conferences and published in top-tier journals. At the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, Professor Yongmei Yin from Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital delivered a Rapid Oral Abstract presentation on the phase II OptiTROP-Breast05 study, which evaluated sac-TMT as a first-line therapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The results demonstrated impressive efficacy and a favorable safety profile. Oncology Frontier invited Professor Yongmei Yin at the conference to discuss the study's key outcomes and how sac-TMT, as a leading TROP2 ADC, is poised to make a lasting impact on breast cancer treatment in China and globally.

ESMO China Voice | Dr. Cheng Huang & Dr. Rongbo Lin: Global First Evidence Shows IV IPCA Outperforms Oral Morphine for Severe Cancer Pain, Potentially Changing Guidelines and Transforming Pain Management

The 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting was held in Barcelona, Spain. A Phase III randomized controlled trial (SYLT-021), led by Dr. Rongbo Lin’s team from the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Fujian Cancer Hospital, was selected as one of six Proffered Paper oral presentations in the palliative care session. This study compared hydromorphone intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IPCA) with oral morphine for severe cancer pain management.
Addressing Hemorrhagic Cystitis in HCT: Insights from Dr. Simone Cesaro on BK Virus Surveillance and Clinical Practice Gaps

Addressing Hemorrhagic Cystitis in HCT: Insights from Dr. Simone Cesaro on BK Virus Surveillance and Clinical Practice Gaps

In this exclusive interview with Infectious Diseases Frontier, Professor Simone Cesaro, a leading expert in pediatric hematology and stem cell transplantation, shares his perspectives on the management of BK polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Drawing from the findings of a recent EBMT survey, he discusses the clinical implications of passive surveillance strategies, platelet transfusion thresholds, and the urgent need for consensus guidelines to support transplant centers across Europe. His insights underscore the importance of early intervention and standardization in addressing this often-overlooked complication.
