A PAM50-Based Chemoendocrine Score for Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer with an Intermediate Risk of Relapse.
(2017-06)
Purpose: Hormone receptor-positive (HR + ) breast cancer is clinically and biologically heterogeneous, and subgroups with different prognostic and treatment sensitivities need to be identified. Experimental Design: ...
Association of p27 and Cyclin D1 Expression and Benefit from Adjuvant Trastuzumab Treatment in HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer: A TransHERA Study.
(2018-07)
Purpose: To assess the prognostic and predictive value of selected biomarkers involved in cell-cycle regulation or proliferation in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer.Experimental Design: Protein expression ...
11 years' follow-up of trastuzumab after adjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer: final analysis of the HERceptin Adjuvant (HERA) trial.
(2017-03)
Background Clinical trials have shown that trastuzumab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody against HER2 receptor, significantly improves overall survival and disease-free survival in women with HER2-positive early breast ...
Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci.
(2017-11)
Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic contribution to breast cancer risk remains unknown. ...
Plasma ESR1 Mutations and the Treatment of Estrogen Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer.
(2016-09)
Purpose ESR1 mutations are selected by prior aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in advanced breast cancer. We assessed the impact of ESR1 mutations on sensitivity to standard therapies in two phase III randomized trials that ...
Novel 18-gene signature for predicting relapse in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
(2018-09-04)
Background Several prognostic signatures for early oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer have been established with a 10-year follow-up. We tested the hypothesis that signatures optimised for 0-5-year and 5-10-year ...
Driver Oncogenes but Not as We Know Them: Targetable Fusion Genes in Breast Cancer.
(2018-03)
<b/> Two reports in this issue of Cancer Discovery outline how the genomic composition of tumors, including the presence of intragenic gene fusions, could inform the selection of treatment approaches in aggressive forms ...
Embryonic transcription factor SOX9 drives breast cancer endocrine resistance.
(2017-05-15)
The estrogen receptor (ER) drives the growth of most luminal breast cancers and is the primary target of endocrine therapy. Although ER blockade with drugs such as tamoxifen is very effective, a major clinical limitation ...
From integrative genomics to therapeutic targets.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2013-06-15)
Combinatorial approaches that integrate conventional pathology with genomic profiling and functional genomics have begun to enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of breast cancer. These methods have identified key ...
