Risk factors for taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with breast cancer
CONCLUSION: Cumulative dose, BMI, BSA, and hypocalcemia are all risk factors for overall TIPN, whereas cumulative dose and BSA are risk factors for moderate-severe TIPN. Patients with breast cancer who have high BMI, large BSA, hypocalcemia, and large cumulative dose may be at risk of TIPN, and intervention measures must be actively carried out for them.PMID:36658674 | DOI:10.1111/ajco.13923 (Source: Clinical Breast Cancer)

Pirfenidone suppressed triple-negative breast cancer metastasis by inhibiting the activity of the TGF- β/SMAD pathway
In this study, we assessed the efficacy of Pirfenidone (PFD), an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, on TNBC cells as well as its anti-tumour effects in xenograft tumour model. PFD inhibited in a dose-dependent manner breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while promoted their apoptosis in vitro. PFD also suppressed TGF-β-induced activation of Smad signalling pathway and expression level of EMT-inducing transcription factors (e.g. SNAI2, TWIST1, ZEB1) as well as the mesenchymal genes such as VIMENTIN and N-Cadherin. On the contrary, the expression level of epithe...

Apatinib combined with trastuzumab and albumin-bound paclitaxel for treatment of HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastases resistant to anti-HER2 TKIs: A case report
Oncol Lett. 2022 Dec 20;25(2):56. doi: 10.3892/ol.2022.13642. eCollection 2023 Feb.ABSTRACTAlthough human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy significantly improves the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, most patients with advanced breast cancer eventually progress due to drug resistance. At present, there is no standard treatment after patients become resistant to HER2-targeted therapy. Previous studies have indicated that anti-angiogenesis drugs have potential efficacy in the treatment of advanced breast cancer. The present study reported on a case of a pretreated patient with ...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 880: Research and Application of Kupffer Cell Thresholds for BSA Nanoparticles
In this study, the delivery efficiency of ABP was improved by using blank nanoparticles to saturate Kupffer cells, which provided a new approach to studying the Kupffer cell saturation threshold and thus a new scheme for improving the curative effect of ABP. (Source: Molecules)

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy using nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab followed by epirubicin and cyclophosphamide for operable HER2-positive primary breast cancer: a multicenter phase II clinical trial (PerSeUS-BC04)
CONCLUSION: Nab-PTX plus T-mab and P-mab induced a high pCR rate in HER2-positive BC, particularly in the HER2-subtype. Given that AEs are acceptable, this regimen is safe and acceptable as NAC for HER2-positive BC.PMID:36609911 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-022-01425-2 (Source: Breast Cancer)
