Validation of the OncoMasTR Risk Score in Estrogen Receptor-Positive/HER2-Negative Patients: A TransATAC study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-02-01)
PURPOSE: To test the validity of OncoMasTR Molecular Score (OMm), OMclin1, and OncoMasTR Risk Score (OMclin2) prognostic scores for prediction of distant recurrence (DR) in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive/HER2-negative ...
Evaluating a digital tool for supporting breast cancer patients: a randomized controlled trial protocol (ADAPT).
(BMC, 2020-01-15)
BACKGROUND: There are a growing number of mHealth tools for breast cancer patients but a lack of scientific evidence for their effects. Recent studies have shown a mix of positive and negative impacts on users. Here we ...
Intraductal patient-derived xenografts of estrogen receptor α-positive breast cancer recapitulate the histopathological spectrum and metastatic potential of human lesions.
(WILEY, 2019-03-01)
Estrogen receptor α-positive (ER-positive) or 'luminal' breast cancers were notoriously difficult to establish as patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We and others recently demonstrated that the microenvironment is critical ...
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, natural menopause, and breast cancer risk: an international prospective cohort of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.
(BMC, 2020-01-16)
BACKGROUND: The effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) on breast cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers is uncertain. Retrospective analyses have suggested a protective effect but may be substantially ...
Tailoring Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy for Premenopausal Breast Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2018-07-12)
BACKGROUND: In the Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial (SOFT) and the Tamoxifen and Exemestane Trial (TEXT), the 5-year rates of recurrence of breast cancer were significantly lower among premenopausal women who received ...
Real-time ex vivo perfusion of human lymph nodes invaded by cancer (REPLICANT): a feasibility study.
(WILEY, 2020-03-01)
Understanding how breast cancer (BC) grows in axillary lymph nodes (ALNs), and refining how therapies might halt that process, is clinically important. However, modelling the complex ALN microenvironment is difficult, and ...
Transcriptomic analysis of human primary breast cancer identifies fatty acid oxidation as a target for metformin.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-21)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that metformin may reduce the incidence of cancer in patients with diabetes and multiple late phase clinical trials assessing the potential of repurposing this drug are underway. ...
Clinical considerations of the role of palbociclib in the management of advanced breast cancer patients with and without visceral metastases.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-03-01)
BACKGROUND: This report assesses the efficacy and safety of palbociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) in women with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC) ...
Changes in radiotherapy fractionation-breast cancer.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2018-01-18)
Conventional fractionation for half a century has been justified on the basis that 2.0 Gy fractions spare dose-limiting late-responding normal tissues to a greater degree than cancerous tissues. Early indications that ...
Breast cancer risk in relation to history of preeclampsia and hyperemesis gravidarum: Prospective analysis in the Generations Study.
(WILEY, 2018-08-15)
Preeclampsia and hyperemesis gravidarum are pregnancy complications associated with altered sex hormone levels. Previous studies suggest preeclampsia may be associated with a decreased risk of subsequent breast cancer and ...
