Does the addition of whole-body MRI to routine imaging influence real-world treatment decisions in metastatic breast cancer?
(BMC, 2022-06-07)
BACKGROUND: The assessment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) can be limited with routine imaging such as computed tomography (CT) especially in bone-only or bone-predominant disease. This analysis investigates the effects ...
Discovery of naturally occurring ESR1 mutations in breast cancer cell lines modelling endocrine resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-11-30)
Resistance to endocrine therapy remains a major clinical problem in breast cancer. Genetic studies highlight the potential role of estrogen receptor-α (ESR1) mutations, which show increased prevalence in the metastatic, ...
Molecular characterisation of aromatase inhibitor-resistant advanced breast cancer: the phenotypic effect of ESR1 mutations.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-01-22)
BACKGROUND: Several thousand breast cancer patients develop resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) each year in the UK. Rational treatment requires an improved molecular characterisation of resistant disease. MATERIALS ...
Early ctDNA dynamics as a surrogate for progression-free survival in advanced breast cancer in the BEECH trial.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Dynamic changes in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) levels may predict long-term outcome. We utilised samples from a phase I/II randomised trial (BEECH) to assess ctDNA dynamics as a surrogate for progression-free ...
Tracking evolution of aromatase inhibitor resistance with circulating tumour DNA analysis in metastatic breast cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-10-04)
BACKGROUND: Selection of resistance mutations may play a major role in the development of endocrine resistance. ESR1 mutations are rare in primary breast cancer but have high prevalence in patients treated with aromatase ...
A RAD51 assay feasible in routine tumor samples calls PARP inhibitor response beyond BRCA mutation.
(WILEY, 2018-12-01)
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are effective in cancers with defective homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR), including BRCA1/2-related cancers. A test to identify additional HRR-deficient tumors ...
Outcomes of Different Quality of Life Assessment Modalities After Breast Cancer Therapy: A Network Meta-analysis.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2023-06-01)
IMPORTANCE: Improvement in clinical understanding of the priorities of patients with breast cancer (BC) regarding postoperative aesthetic outcomes (AOs) is needed. OBJECTIVE: To assess expert panel and computerized evaluation ...
RANK is a poor prognosis marker and a therapeutic target in ER-negative postmenopausal breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2023-04-11)
Despite strong preclinical data, the therapeutic benefit of the RANKL inhibitor, denosumab, in breast cancer patients, beyond the bone, is unclear. Aiming to select patients who may benefit from denosumab, we hereby analyzed ...
Clinical validity of clinical treatment score 5 (CTS5) for estimating risk of late recurrence in unselected, non-trial patients with early oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2020-11-21)
PURPOSE: Clinical Treatment Score at 5 years (CTS5) is a prognostic tool to estimate distant recurrence (DR) risk after 5 years of endocrine therapy for postmenopausal women with oestrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) ...
Proton Beam Therapy in Breast Cancer Patients: The UK PARABLE Trial is Recruiting.
