First clinical experience with CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer therapy
Exp Ther Med. 2021 May;21(5):522. doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.9954. Epub 2021 Mar 22.ABSTRACTFor hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients with metastatic or advanced disease, therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors in addition to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) or to the estrogen receptor (ER) downregulator fulvestrant has resulted in an additional therapy option and a longer progression-free survival. In the Gynecologic-Oncology Clinic, Diakonie-Klinikum Schwäbisch Hall, we followed and registered our initial clinical experience with CDK4/6 inhibitors, following the side effects and tumor response over two years since...

Preventing Breast Cancer Through Identification and Pharmacologic Management of High-Risk Patients
Mayo Clin Proc. 2021 Apr;96(4):1033-1040. doi: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2021.01.028.ABSTRACTBreast cancer remains the most common cancer in women in the United States. For certain women at high risk for breast cancer, endocrine therapy (ET) can greatly decrease the risk. Tools such as the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (or Gail Model) and the International Breast Cancer Intervention Study risk calculator are available to help identify women at increased risk for breast cancer. Physician awareness of family history, reproductive and lifestyle factors, dense breast tissue, and history of benign proliferative breast disease are i...

Breast Angiosarcoma with a Preoperative Diagnosis of Late Recurrence of Breast Cancer: A Case Report
We report a case of breast angiosarcoma with a preoperative diagnosis of late recurrence of breast cancer. A 78-year-old woman noticed a tumor in her right breast and visited our hospital. The patient had undergone breast-conserving surgery and axillary lymph node dissection from the right breast 12 years before the visit. The tumor was diagnosed as T4bN0M0, stage IIIB. Anastrozole was administered as postoperative adjuvant therapy for 5 years; the patient also received 50-Gy whole-breast radiation therapy after surgery. Physical examination during her visit revealed an elevated lesion with blue purpura around the nipple i...

The impact of body mass index on breast cancer incidence among women at increased risk: an observational study from the International Breast Intervention Studies
ConclusionsHigher BMI is associated with greater breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women at increased risk of the disease, but no effect was observed in premenopausal women. The lack of interaction between BMI and treatment group on breast cancer risk suggests women are likely to experience benefit from preventive therapy regardless of their BMI.Trial registration Both trials were registered [IBIS-I: ISRCTN91879928 on 24/02/2006, retrospectively registered (http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN91879928); IBIS-II: ISRCTN31488319 on 07/01/2005, retrospectively registered (http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN31488319)] (Source: Breast Canc...
