Contraceptive progestins with androgenic properties stimulate breast epithelial cell proliferation.
(WILEY, 2021-07-07)Hormonal contraception exposes women to synthetic progesterone receptor (PR) agonists, progestins, and transiently increases breast cancer risk. How progesterone and progestins affect the breast epithelium is poorly ... -
Updated recommendations regarding the management of older patients with breast cancer: a joint paper from the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-07-01)Breast cancer is increasingly prevalent in older adults and is a substantial part of routine oncology practice. However, management of breast cancer in this population is challenging because the disease is highly heterogeneous ... -
Deep Learning Enables Individual Xenograft Cell Classification in Histological Images by Analysis of Contextual Features.
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2021-06-01)Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDXs) are the preclinical models which best recapitulate inter- and intra-patient complexity of human breast malignancies, and are also emerging as useful tools to study the normal breast ... -
Sox11 regulates mammary tumour-initiating and metastatic capacity in Brca1-deficient mouse mammary tumour cells.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2021-05-01)Little is known about the role of Sox11 in the regulation of mammary progenitor cells. Sox11 is expressed by mammary bud epithelial cells during embryonic mammary gland development and is not detected in mammary epithelial ... -
A simple digital image analysis system for automated Ki67 assessment in primary breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2021-08-01)AIMS: Ki67 is a well-established immunohistochemical marker associated with cell proliferation that has prognostic and predictive value in breast cancer. Quantitative evaluation of Ki67 is traditionally performed by assessing ... -
Functional annotation of the 2q35 breast cancer risk locus implicates a structural variant in influencing activity of a long-range enhancer element.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-07-01)A combination of genetic and functional approaches has identified three independent breast cancer risk loci at 2q35. A recent fine-scale mapping analysis to refine these associations resulted in 1 (signal 1), 5 (signal 2), ... -
Systemic therapy for early breast cancer in older adults: current status and prospects.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-11-01)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we describe the evidence on the efficacy and the safety of systemic treatments for the management of early breast cancer (EBC) in older individuals. RECENT FINDINGS: Chemotherapy has a ... -
Alpelisib plus fulvestrant in PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer after a CDK4/6 inhibitor (BYLieve): one cohort of a phase 2, multicentre, open-label, non-comparative study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-04-01)BACKGROUND: Alpelisib, a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and degrader, plus fulvestrant showed efficacy in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated advanced breast cancer in SOLAR-1; limited data are available ... -
Use of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors in older patients with ER-positive HER2-negative breast cancer: Young International Society of Geriatric Oncology review paper.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2018-11-20)The current standard of care for the management of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer has been redefined by the introduction of cyclin-dependent kinase ... -
Observational cohort study in older women with early breast cancer: Use of radiation therapy and impact on health-related quality of life and mortality.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2021-06-16)BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy reduces in-breast recurrence risk in early breast cancer (EBC) in older women. This benefit may be small and should be balanced against treatment effect and holistic patient assessment. This study ... -
Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with primary ER+ HER2- breast cancer deferred from surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-08)Many patients with ER+ HER2- primary breast cancer are being deferred from surgery to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NeoET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have collated data from multiple international trials of presurgical ... -
Biomarkers Associating with PARP Inhibitor Benefit in Prostate Cancer in the TOPARP-B Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-11-01)PARP inhibitors are approved for treating advanced prostate cancers (APC) with various defective DNA repair genes; however, further studies to clinically qualify predictive biomarkers are warranted. Herein we analyzed ... -
Quality of life with palbociclib plus fulvestrant in previously treated hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer: patient-reported outcomes from the PALOMA-3 trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-06-01)BACKGROUND: In the PALOMA-3 study, palbociclib plus fulvestrant demonstrated improved progression-free survival compared with fulvestrant plus placebo in hormone receptor-positive, HER2- endocrine-resistant metastatic ... -
Impact of Spontaneous Extracranial Bleeding Events on Health State Utility in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Results from the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 Trial.
(WILEY, 2017-08-11)BACKGROUND: The impact of different types of extracranial bleeding events on health-related quality of life and health-state utility among patients with atrial fibrillation is not well understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ... -
Genomic profile of advanced breast cancer in circulating tumour DNA.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-23)The genomics of advanced breast cancer (ABC) has been described through tumour tissue biopsy sequencing, although these approaches are limited by geographical and temporal heterogeneity. Here we use plasma circulating ... -
Gene-Environment Interactions Relevant to Estrogen and Risk of Breast Cancer: Can Gene-Environment Interactions Be Detected Only among Candidate SNPs from Genome-Wide Association Studies?
(MDPI, 2021-05-14)In this study we aim to examine gene-environment interactions (GxEs) between genes involved with estrogen metabolism and environmental factors related to estrogen exposure. GxE analyses were conducted with 1970 Korean ... -
