Selective CDK7 inhibition suppresses cell cycle progression and MYC signaling while enhancing apoptosis in therapy-resistant estrogen receptor positive breast cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, these findings support the clinical investigation of selective CDK7 inhibition combined with ET to overcome treatment resistance in ER+ BC. In addition, our study highlights the potential of increased MYC activity and intact P53 as predictors for sensitivity to CDK7 inhibitor-based treatments.PMID:38381406 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2975 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Breast Cancer Index and Prediction of Extended Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy Benefit in Hormone Receptor-positive Breast Cancer from the NRG Oncology/NSABP B-42 Trial
CONCLUSIONS: BCI(H/I)-High vs -Low did not show a statistically significant difference in ELT benefit for the primary endpoint (RFI). However, in time-dependent DR analysis, BCI (H/I)-High patients experienced statistically significant benefit from ELT after 4y, whereas (H/I)-Low patients did not. Because BCI (H/I) has been validated as a predictive marker of EET benefit in other trials, additional follow-up may enable further characterization of BCI's predictive ability.PMID:38376912 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-1977 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Single-agent metronomic versus weekly oral vinorelbine as first-line chemotherapy in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer: The randomized Tempo Breast study
CONCLUSIONS: In this randomized phase II trial, single-agent metronomic oral vinorelbine was effective and well tolerated as first-line chemotherapy for patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative ABC. Formal comparisons are not done in this phase II study and one can simply observe that confidence intervals of all endpoints overlap. When deciding for a chemotherapy after failure of endocrine therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitors, oral vinorelbine might be an option to be given with either schedule.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: EudraCT 2014-003860-19.PMID:38377732 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2024.103681 (Source: Breast)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 845: TRIM33 Is a Co-Regulator of Estrogen Receptor Alpha
Todd W. Miller Estrogen receptor alpha (ER)-positive breast cancer is responsible for over 60% of breast cancer cases in the U.S. Among patients diagnosed with early-stage ER+ disease, 1/3 will experience recurrence despite treatment with adjuvant endocrine therapy. ER is a nuclear hormone receptor responsible for estrogen-driven tumor growth. ER transcriptional activity is modulated by interactions with coregulators. Dysregulation of the levels of these coregulators is involved in the development of endocrine resistance. To identify ER interactors that modulate transcriptional activity in breast cancer, we utilized...

Changes in systemic cancer therapy in Australia during the Delta and Omicron waves of the COVID-19 pandemic (2021-2022): a controlled interrupted time series analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The 2021 lockdowns and 2021/2022 Omicron outbreaks in NSW and Victoria had significant impacts on the dispensing, initiation and discontinuation of systemic cancer therapies, however, the overall effects were minimal. The impacts of lockdowns were less significant than the Omicron outbreaks, suggesting COVID-19 infection, health system capacity, and patient and community concerns were important factors for treatment changes.PMID:38369711 | DOI:10.17061/phrp34012402 (Source: Cancer Control)

Should surgeons reconsider the role of intraoperative sentinel lymph node evaluation for premenopausal breast cancer patients in the era of RxPONDER?
Tremendous improvements in the role of personalized breast cancer care have resulted in paradigms shifts to treatment algorithms, particularly regarding the role of systemic chemotherapy in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. The landmark TAILORx data demonstrated the utility and efficacy of the 21-gene recurrence score assay (Oncotype DX, Genomic Health) in women with HR-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative breast cancer as it demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant benefit to the receipt of adjuvant chemoendocrine therapy ...

Is circulating tumor cell count-driven cost-effective for first-line therapy choice in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer in the United States?
