Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe the preventive option and safety of laparoscopic transabdominal emergency cerclage in pregnant women with advanced cervical shortening after failed vaginal cerclage or in whom vaginal cerclage is no longer possible., Method: Laparoscopic isthmo-cervical emergency cerclage was carried out in two patients at 13+0 and 15+5 weeks of gestation (GW) respectively. Both patients had cervical shortening and it was no longer possible to expose the cervix after conization or re-conization. The attempts to carry out transvaginal cerclage were unsuccessful. The technical aspects, feasibility, safety, and pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage are presented here, based on two case reports., Results: The cerclages were placed after blunt dissection of the uterine vessels and careful introduction of a KELLY forceps through the avascular space between the ascending and descending branches of the uterine vessels without using a needle. The operating times were 93 and 134 minutes (min), respectively. The estimated blood loss during the procedure was less than 50 ml and neither perioperative nor postoperative complications occurred. The subsequent course of both pregnancies was uneventful and fetal development in both cases was normal. In the first case, the baby was delivered by secondary cesarean section following premature rupture of membranes in week 35+4 of gestation. The baby had a birthweight of 2786 g, APGAR scores of 8/9/10 and an umbilical cord arterial pH of 7.36. In the second case, delivery was by primary cesarean section in week 39+5 of gestation. The infant had a birth weight of 4160 g, APGAR scores of 5/9/10 and an umbilical cord arterial pH of 7.20., Conclusion: Laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage is a safe and effective treatment option, even early in the second trimester of pregnancy, for patients in whom transvaginal cerclage is no longer possible due to anatomical factors. The method is technically very feasible and is associated with positive obstetric outcomes. The overall risk of perioperative complications is within acceptable limits., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest., (The Author(s).

Introduction: The third-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and sacituzumab govitecan (SG), recently obtained approval for metastatic breast cancer treatment across various subtypes and therapeutic contexts., Materials and Methods: This retrospective, multicentric study evaluated real-world tolerability, feasibility and efficacy in a pre-treated, real-world cohort at three major German breast cancer centers., Results: 125 patients treated with T-DXd or SG from November 2020 to June 2023 were included (T-DXd: 77 patients; SG: 48 patients). The median treatment duration was 6.0 months for T-DXd and 3.5 months for SG therapy, with a median follow-up duration of 10.4 months for T-DXd (95% CI: 8.4-11.6) and 11.8 months for SG (95% CI: 8.0-14.4). Severe neutropenia (CTC ≥ III°) occurred in 33.3% during SG therapy, with a numerical reduction observed following primary, prophylactic use of G-CSF. T-DXd-associated pneumonitis occurred in 8 out of 77 patients (10.4 %). Median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 8.6 months (95% CI: 5.8-12.4) with T-DXd (HER2+: 10.8; HER2-low: 4.7) and 4.9 months (95% CI: 2.8-6.3) with SG (TNBC 4.9; HR+/HER2-: not reached). Median overall survival (OS) was 23.8 months (95% CI: 16.1-not estimable) with T-DXd (HER2+: 27.1; HER2-low: not reached), and 12.4 months (95% CI: 8.7-not estimable) with SG therapy (TNBC: 12.4, HR+/HER2-: not reached). 95.7% of the protocol-specified, therapeutic dose was administered for T-DXd and 89.6% for SG., Conclusion: Overall, this indicates good feasibility, tolerability, and effectiveness of ADC therapies in the real-world setting., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest H.

Clinical evidence is interpreted based on clinical studies and personal experience which can lead to different interpretations of data. This makes the opinions issued by panels of experts such as the Advanced Breast Cancer Panel which convened in November 2023 for the seventh time (ABC7) particularly important. At the conference, current issues around advanced breast cancer were evaluated by an international team of experts. In 2023 the data on CDK4/6 inhibitors was so extensive that the answers to questions about the sequencing of therapy and the potential use of chemotherapy as an alternative therapy were relatively clear. Moreover, data on antibody drug conjugates which provides a good overview of their uses is available for all molecular subtypes. Some therapeutic settings, including patients with brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease, older patients, locally advanced breast cancer and visceral crises, continue to be particularly important and were discussed in structured sessions. The scientific context of some of the topics discussed at ABC7 is presented and assessed here., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest/Interessenkonflikt B. A. received honoria and travel grants from AstraZeneca, Gilead, Genomic Health, Roche, Novartis, GSK, Stemline, Lilly, MSD, Eisai, Tesaro, Daiichi Sankyo and Pfizer.
