A Phase I/II Study of Ibrutinib Plus Trastuzumab in HER2‐Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ibrutinib has demonstrated inhibition of ErbB/HER tyrosine kinases in preclinical models. This Phase I/II study investigated the safety, efficacy, and immunomodulatory effects of ibrutinib in combination with trastuzumab in patients with HER2‐positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) whose disease had progressed on ado‐trastuzumab emtansine ...

Paratesticular Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma Masquerading as Epididymitis: A Diagnostic Challenge in Adolescents

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignancy in children and adolescents that frequently presents diagnostic challenges when mimicking benign inflammatory conditions. We report the case of a 14‐year‐old previously healthy male who presented with acute right scrotal pain and swelling initially diagnosed as epididymo‐orchitis.

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...
