Estrogen receptor positive breast cancers have patient specific hormone sensitivities and rely on progesterone receptor.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-06)
Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER, PR) signaling control breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. ER is an established driver of ER + disease but the role of the PR, itself an ER target gene, is debated. ...
Infertility and risk of breast cancer in men: a national case-control study in England and Wales.
(BMC, 2022-05-17)
PURPOSE: Breast cancer is uncommon in men and its aetiology is largely unknown, reflecting the limited size of studies thus far conducted. In general, number of children fathered has been found a risk factor inconsistently, ...
High p16 expression and heterozygous RB1 loss are biomarkers for CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance in ER+ breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-07)
CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy have demonstrated higher antitumor activity than endocrine therapy alone for the treatment of advanced estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Some of these tumors are ...
Opinion: PARP inhibitors in cancer-what do we still need to know?
(The Royal Society, 2022-07-01)
PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have been demonstrated to exhibit profound anti-tumour activity in individuals whose cancers have a defect in the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway. Here, we describe the current consensus ...
Genome-wide association study meta-analysis identifies three novel loci for circulating anti-Müllerian hormone levels in women.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-05-03)
STUDY QUESTION: Can additional genetic variants for circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels be identified through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis including a large sample of premenopausal women? ...
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 and endocrine resistance in hormone-dependent breast cancer.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2022-08-01)
Endocrine therapies are the main treatment strategies for the clinical management of hormone-dependent breast cancer. Despite prolonged time to recurrence in the adjuvant setting and the initial clinical responses in the ...
Current and future diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients with invasive lobular breast cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is the second most common type of breast cancer after invasive breast cancer of no special type (NST), representing up to 15% of all breast cancers. DESIGN: Latest data on ...
Definitive study shows no association between ARID1A mutation status and clinical outcome in endometriosis-related ovarian cancers‡.
(WILEY, 2022-06-29)
The ARID1A tumour suppressor protein is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, which is mutated in approximately 20% of all human cancers. ARID1A mutational status is considered to hold prognostic ...
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 ...
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 ...
