Atypical memory B cells increase in the peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer regardless of lymph node involvement
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females. The immune system has a crucial role in the fight against cancer. B and T cells, the two main components of the adaptive immunity, are critical players that ... (Source: BMC Immunology)

Machine-learning and mechanistic modeling of metastatic breast cancer after neoadjuvant treatment
by Sebastien Benzekry, Michalis Mastri, Chiara Nicol ò, John M. L. Ebos Clinical trials involving systemic neoadjuvant treatments in breast cancer aim to shrink tumors before surgery while simultaneously allowing for controlled evaluation of biomarkers, toxicity, and suppression of distant (occult) metastatic disease. Yet neoadjuvant clinical trials are rarely preceded by preclinical testing involving neoadjuvant treatment, surgery, and post-surgery monitoring of the disease. Here we used a mouse model of spontaneous metastasis occurring after surgical removal of orthotopically implanted primary tumors to develop a predi...

Young Patients Without Genetic Risk Have Low Chance of Second Breast Cancer
Previous research has suggested that young people with breast cancer had 2 to 3 times the risk of being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. But a new study in JAMA Oncology suggests that may not be true for those who do not have a genetic change linked with higher risk of the disease, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.

Role of Gut Microbe Composition in Psychosocial Symptom Response to Exercise Training in Breast Cancer Survivors (ROME) study: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
The objective of this study is to determine if fitness-related modifications to gut microbiota occur and, if so, mediate the effects of aerobic exercise on fatigue response. Methods and analysis The research is a randomised controlled trial among breast cancer survivors aged 18–74 with fatigue. The primary aim is to determine the effects of aerobic exercise training compared with an attention control on gut microbiota composition. The secondary study aims are to test if exercise training (1) affects the gut microbiota composition directly and/or indirectly through inflammation (serum cytokines), autonomic nervous sy...

Targeted photodynamic therapy technique of Janus nanoparticles on breast cancer

Epub 2024 May 2.ABSTRACTSpherical gold/polyacrylic acid (Au/PAA) polymer-inorganic Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) with simultaneous therapeutic and targeting functions were fabricated. The obtained Au/PAA JNPs were further selectively functionalized with folic acid (FA) and thiol PEG amine (SH-PEG-NH2) on Au sides to provide superior biocompatibility and active targeting, while the other PAA sides were loaded with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to serve as a photosensitizer (PS) for photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) effects on MCF-7 cancer ...

Prediction of breast cancer and axillary positive-node response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging radiomics models
CONCLUSIONS: Our study established non-invasive combining models to predict the therapeutic response of primary breast cancer and axillary positive-node prior to NAC, which may help to modify preoperative treatment and determine post-NAC surgery strategy.PMID:38696854 | PMC:PMC11070644 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2024.103737 (Source: Breast)

Clinicopathological Significance and Prognostic Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1), Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 in Breast Cancer

Epub 2024 Apr 17.ABSTRACTHigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) functions as damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMPs), released into extracellular space during cellular stress. Extracellular HMGB1 act as signal molecules through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 or TLR4, exerting diverse functions in both normal cells and malignant cells including breast cancer. However, their comprehensive examination in breast cancer tissues is lacking. Thus, we immunolocalized them in 112 breast cancer tissues, correlating their immunoreactivity with clinicopathological...
