Circulating vitamin D and breast cancer risk: an international pooling project of 17 cohorts.
(SPRINGER, 2023-01-01)
Laboratory and animal research support a protective role for vitamin D in breast carcinogenesis, but epidemiologic studies have been inconclusive. To examine comprehensively the relationship of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin ...
A functional interaction between liprin-α1 and B56γ regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A supports tumor cell motility.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-28)
Scaffold liprin-α1 is required to assemble dynamic plasma membrane-associated platforms (PMAPs) at the front of migrating breast cancer cells, to promote protrusion and invasion. We show that the N-terminal region of ...
Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity determines estrogen receptor positive breast cancer dormancy and epithelial reconversion drives recurrence.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-25)
More than 70% of human breast cancers (BCs) are estrogen receptor α-positive (ER+). A clinical challenge of ER+ BC is that they can recur decades after initial treatments. Mechanisms governing latent disease remain elusive ...
Systemic Therapy for Hereditary Breast Cancers.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2023-02-01)
Approximately 5% to 10% of all breast cancers are hereditary; many of which are caused by pathogenic variants in genes required for homologous recombination, including BRCA1 and BRCA2. Here we discuss systemic treatment ...
Risk of breast cancer in men in relation to weight change: A national case-control study in England and Wales.
(WILEY, 2022-06-01)
Breast cancer is uncommon in men and knowledge about its causation limited. Obesity is a risk factor but there has been no investigation of whether weight change is an independent risk factor, as it is in women. In a ...
From 25 Fractions to Five: How Hypofractionation has Revolutionised Adjuvant Breast Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)
There is a sound empirical basis for hypofractionation in radiotherapy for breast cancer. This article reviews the radiobiological implications of hypofractionation in breast cancer derived from a series of clinical trials ...
Long-Term Follow-Up of the Intergroup Exemestane Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-08-01)
Purpose The Intergroup Exemestane Study, an investigator-led study of 4,724 postmenopausal patients with early breast cancer (clinical trial information: ISRCTN11883920), has previously demonstrated that a switch from ...
Lung volume reproducibility under ABC control and self-sustained breath-holding.
(WILEY, 2017-03-01)
An Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) can be employed to induce breath-holds during CT imaging and radiotherapy of lung, breast and liver cancer, and recently during lung cancer MRI. The apparatus measures and controls ...
HRDetect is a predictor of BRCA1 and BRCA2 deficiency based on mutational signatures.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-01)
Approximately 1-5% of breast cancers are attributed to inherited mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 and are selectively sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. In other cancer types, germline and/or somatic ...
Endosialin-Expressing Pericytes Promote Metastatic Dissemination.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-15)
Metastasis is a multistep process that is critically dependent on the interaction of metastasizing tumor cells with cells in the local microenvironment. Within this tumor stroma, vessel-associated pericytes and myofibroblasts ...
