ESMO China–International Dialogue | Meeting at the Summit: How China’s Innovative ADCs sac-TMT and A166 Are Reshaping the Breast Cancer Treatment Landscape 

 At the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress, Chinese innovative drugs and clinical research drew global attention. During the meeting, Xichun Hu, Professor at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, presented a Late-Breaking Abstract (LBA) detailing the pivotal phase III study in which China’s first original HER2-targeted antibody–drug conjugate (ADC), A166 (budotituzumab vedotin), successfully challenged T-DM1 in the second-line setting for HER2-positive breast cancer. Based on this study, A166 received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on October 17, 2025, bringing a new standard-of-care option to clinical practice.

ILCA Roundtable | MDT: Optimizing HCC Treatment Strategies – Insights from the TALENT Series Studies

In recent years, advances in systemic therapy have offered hope for advanced liver cancer patients, but traditional single treatments remain limited, highlighting the need for new approaches. Combining systemic therapy with local treatments has become a key trend, with multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration now a global standard. Experts from surgery, interventional radiology, oncology, and more work together to design optimal, personalized treatment plans—from diagnosis and strategy development to timing of therapy and long-term follow-up.

Professor Alejandro Madrigal: The Path to Breakthrough for the Localization of CAR-T Cell Therapy in Latin America 

In the global wave of medical innovation, emerging therapies such as CAR-T cell therapy have brought revolutionary hope for major diseases, including malignancies. However, their widespread adoption and application face significant regional imbalances, with low- and middle-income countries encountering numerous structural barriers in accessing these frontier technologies. From November 13 to 16, 2025, the 2025 International Conference on Cell and Immunotherapy (CTI 2025) was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. During the conference, Oncology Frontier - Hematology specially invited Professor Alejandro Madrigal from University College London (UCL) to discuss, from an international perspective and using Mexico as a case study, the core challenges Latin America faces in promoting equitable access to medical resources and introducing cutting-edge therapies.
