A Multiparametric MRI-based Radiomics Model for Stratifying Postoperative Recurrence in Luminal B Breast Cancer
This study aims to develop an MRI-based radiomics model to assess the likelihood of recurrence in luminal B breast cancer.  The study analyzed medical images and clinical data from 244 patients with luminal B breast cancer. Of 244 patients, 35 had experienced recurrence and 209 had not. The patients were randomly divided into the training set (51.5 ± 12.5 years old;n = 171) and the test set (51.7 ± 11.3 years old;n = 73) in a ratio of 7:3. The study employed univariate and multivariate Cox regression along with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression methods to select rad...

Concurrent neoadjuvant endocrine therapy with chemotherapy in HR+HER2- breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The role of simultaneous neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in chemotherapy in HR+HER2- breast cancer continues to be controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to further evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this strategy for HR+HER2- breast cancer patients. Trials in which HR+HER2- breast cancer patients were randomly assigned to either single or simultaneous endocrine-assisted neoadjuvant chemotherapy were eligible for inclusion. The prime endpoint was the pathological complete response (pCR) rate. The clinical response (complete clinical response: CR, partial response: PR) and safety were seco...

Thyroid Metastases from Breast Cancer Case Report and Literature Review
CONCLUSION: Given the unusual clinical indicators, identifying heterochronic thyroid metastases in patients with tumors poses a distinct challenge, requiring clinicians to navigate the follow-up process with heightened sensitivity. The key lies in timely detection and early intervention, factors that can significantly enhance the overall quality of life for patients.PMID:38409692 | DOI:10.2174/0115680096274465240129055950 (Source: Current Cancer Drug Targets)

Pharmacological insights on novel oral selective estrogen receptor degraders in breast cancer
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Feb 23:176424. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176424. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe therapeutic landscape of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer includes endocrine treatments with aromatase inhibitors (AIs), selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs). Fulvestrant is the first approved SERD with proven efficacy and good tolerability in clinical practice. However, secondary drug resistance, low receptor affinity, and parental administration stimulated the search for new oral SERDs opening a new therapeutic era in ER + breast cancer. Elaces...

Machine learning predicts the risk of osteoporosis in patients with breast cancer and healthy women
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with breast cancer may have changed body composition and BMD. Compared with the healthy population, the main indicators of osteoporosis in patients with breast cancer were reduced nonadipose tissue, increased risk of edema, altered fat distribution, and reduced BMD. In addition to age, duration of treatment, and duration of menopause, body composition-related indicators such as BMI and basal metabolism may be considerably associated with BMD of patients with breast cancer, suggesting that BMD status can be monitored in clinical practice by focusing on changes in the aforementioned indexes, which may p...
