CYP3A7*1C allele is associated with reduced levels of 2-hydroxylation pathway oestrogen metabolites.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-31)
BACKGROUND: Endogenous sex hormones are well-established risk factors for breast cancer; the contribution of specific oestrogen metabolites (EMs) and/or ratios of specific EMs is less clear. We have previously identified ...
Discovery of Selective Estrogen Receptor Covalent Antagonists for the Treatment of ERαWT and ERαMUT Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-09-01)
Mutations in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) that confer resistance to existing classes of endocrine therapies are detected in up to 30% of patients who have relapsed during endocrine treatments. Because a significant ...
Predictors of prolonged benefit from palbociclib plus fulvestrant in women with endocrine-resistant hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer in PALOMA-3.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
BACKGROUND: The addition of palbociclib to fulvestrant improved clinical outcomes over placebo-fulvestrant in endocrine-pretreated metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients in PALOMA-3. Here, we examined factors predictive ...
Targeting tumour re-wiring by triple blockade of mTORC1, epidermal growth factor, and oestrogen receptor signalling pathways in endocrine-resistant breast cancer.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2018-06-08)
BACKGROUND: Endocrine therapies are the mainstay of treatment for oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC). However, resistance remains problematic largely due to enhanced cross-talk between ER and growth ...
Maternal breast cancer risk in relation to birthweight and gestation of her offspring.
(BMC, 2018-10-05)
BACKGROUND: Parity and age at first pregnancy are well-established risk factors for breast cancer, but the effects of other characteristics of pregnancies are uncertain and the literature is inconsistent. METHODS: In a ...
INTEND II randomized clinical trial of intraoperative duct endoscopy in pathological nipple discharge.
(WILEY, 2018-11-01)
BACKGROUND: The majority of lesions resulting in pathological nipple discharge are benign. Conventional surgery is undirected and targeting the causative lesion by duct endoscopy may enable more accurate surgery with fewer ...
Overall Survival with Palbociclib and Fulvestrant in Advanced Breast Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2018-11-15)
BACKGROUND: The cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor palbociclib, in combination with fulvestrant therapy, prolongs progression-free survival among patients with hormone-receptor-positive, human epidermal ...
Quality of life with talazoparib after platinum or multiple cytotoxic non-platinum regimens in patients with advanced breast cancer and germline BRCA1/2 mutations: patient-reported outcomes from the ABRAZO phase 2 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Talazoparib (1 mg/day) exhibited promising efficacy and safety in patients with advanced breast cancer during ABRAZO (NCT02034916); this study evaluated patient-reported outcomes (PROs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: ...
Reproductive profiles and risk of breast cancer subtypes: a multi-center case-only study.
(BMC, 2017-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that reproductive factors are differentially associated with breast cancer (BC) risk by subtypes. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between reproductive factors ...
Synthetic lethal therapies for cancer: what's next after PARP inhibitors?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-06-28)
The genetic concept of synthetic lethality has now been validated clinically through the demonstrated efficacy of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for the treatment of cancers in individuals with germline ...
