Oriental Insight | Professor Juliang Zhang: Insights into Adjuvant Intensified Therapy for HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer

Hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2−) breast cancer is the most common molecular subtype of breast cancer. Although patients with this subtype generally have a favorable prognosis, its high heterogeneity means that some individuals remain at risk of disease recurrence.In recent years, adjuvant treatment strategies have been continuously refined — evolving from standard endocrine therapy to the incorporation of CDK4/6 inhibitors — significantly improving patient outcomes.In this edition of Oncology Frontier, Professor Juliang Zhang from the Department of Breast, Thyroid, and Vascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, shares his insights on adjuvant intensified therapy for HR+/HER2− breast cancer.
A New Breakthrough in Urothelial Carcinoma Treatment — Professor Dingwei Ye from Fudan University Cancer Hospital Leads a Groundbreaking Clinical Study 

A New Breakthrough in Urothelial Carcinoma Treatment — Professor Dingwei Ye from Fudan University Cancer Hospital Leads a Groundbreaking Clinical Study 

Approximately 5% of urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients present with distant metastasis at diagnosis, and 30% of early-stage patients relapse or develop metastasis despite active treatment. With the emergence of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), the median survival of advanced UC patients has extended to 31.5 months. However, the overall survival remains suboptimal. To address this challenge, Professor Dingwei Ye and his team at Fudan University Cancer Hospital initiated a phase II clinical trial of BL-B01D1 for locally advanced or metastatic UC in 2023. The study was presented orally at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, and recently published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO, IF 41.6).

Professor Xu Danfeng: Moving Beyond the “One-Size-Fits-All” Approach — Achieving Maximal Nephron Preservation for Hilar Renal Tumors Through TAPD Technology and Personalized Suturing — The Chinese Solution | 2025 Pujiang Uro-Oncology Academic Conference 

Editor’s Note:In recent years, new diagnostic and therapeutic innovations in renal cancer have continued to emerge, providing clinicians with a growing range of treatment options. The widespread adoption of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has enabled patients to achieve both oncological control and functional preservation. During the 2025 Pujiang Uro-Oncology Academic Conference, leading domestic and international experts in uro-oncology gathered to explore cutting-edge advances and surgical innovations in renal cancer. In this interview, Professor Xu Danfeng from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, shares insights from his team’s pioneering surgical concepts and techniques for managing complex hilar renal tumors, offering valuable perspectives for peers in the field.
