Voices from China at ASCO | Professor Biyun Wang:New First-line Treatment Strategy for mTNBC and Research on the Efficacy Prediction of T-DXd for HER2+ Breast Cancer Brain Metastases Presented

At the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, multiple cutting-edge oncology studies were presented. Among them were two studies led by Professor Biyun Wang from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. One was a prospective, single-arm phase II clinical trial (Abstract #1101) evaluating the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin (the AP regimen) as a first-line treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Results showed a median PFS of 11.8 months and median OS of 27.1 months, with manageable toxicity. The second study, an ongoing trial (Abstract #TPS1122), aims to predict treatment response to T-DXd in HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastases using68Ga-FAPI PET-CT to assess tumor metabolic heterogeneity. The trial is actively recruiting patients.This article specifically introduces two studies.

Voices from China at ASCO | Professor Kun Wang Unveils Landmark neoCARHP Study: “Carboplatin-Free” Strategy Redefines Treatment for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

The 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting took place from May 30 to June 3 in Chicago. At this high-profile event, Professor Kun Wang from Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital presented the much-anticipated results of the neoCARHP study (Abstract LBA500) during an oral session. The study, which focuses on early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, offers an innovative head-to-head comparison between a carboplatin-free THP regimen and the traditional carboplatin-containing TCbHP regimen. The findings revealed that the THP regimen was non-inferior to TCbHP in terms of pathological complete response (pCR), with a significantly better toxicity profile. This important discovery not only provides a new therapeutic option for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer but also reflects a patient-centered approach to treatment—marking a shift toward more precise and individualized care. Following the presentation, Oncology Frontier interviewed Professor Wang to discuss the study’s background, significance, and what the future holds for HER2-positive breast cancer treatment.
Tracing ASCO丨Professor Yongmei Yin: OptiTROP-Breast05 Study Selected for Oral Presentation, Domestic TROP2 ADC Once Again in the Spotlight

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.

Professor Xuepei Zhang Shares Robotic Urologic Surgery Experience from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University

The 2025 Annual Meeting of the Chinese Urological Association (CUDA) was held from June 12–15 in the romantic city of Zhuhai. With the theme “Healthy China, Urology in Action,” the conference brought together experts from across the country to share the latest insights and practical experience in urologic surgery. At the conference, Professor Xuepei Zhang from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University delivered a compelling presentation titled “Clinical Application of Robotic Combined-Approach Radical Prostatectomy,” and further shared his institution’s experience in robotic-assisted urologic procedures with UroStream.
