Real-world clinical evaluation of natural and induced vasomotor symptoms in the USA and Europe
CONCLUSION: Significant burden from the triad of natural or induced menopausal symptoms, sleep disturbances and mood changes affected women's daily activities, work and quality of life more than vasomotor symptoms alone.PMID:38695491 | DOI:10.1080/13697137.2024.2340472 (Source: Climacteric)

Sesamolin serves as an MYH14 inhibitor to sensitize endometrial cancer to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy via suppressing MYH9/GSK3 β/β-catenin signaling
CONCLUSIONS: Herein, we identified that EC prognosis-associated MYH14 was independently responsible for poor overall survival time of patients, and it augmented EC progression by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Targeting MYH14 by sesamolin, a cytotoxicity-based approach, can be applied synergistically with chemotherapy and endocrine therapy to eventually mitigate EC development. This study emphasizes MYH14 as a potential target and sesamolin as a valuable natural drug for EC therapy.PMID:38698330 | PMC:PMC11067147 | DOI:10.1186/s11658-024-00583-9 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters)

H3K27ac-induced RHOXF2 activates Wnt2/ β-catenin pathway by binding to HOXC13 to aggravate the malignant progression of triple negative breast cancer
In conclusion, RHOXF2 activated by H3K27ac functioned as a tumor promoter in TNBC via mediating Wnt2/β-catenin pathway by binding to HOXC13, which provided promising insight into exploration on TNBC therapy.PMID:38697448 | DOI:10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111196 (Source: Cellular Signalling)

GSE266407 ESR1 fusions invoke breast cancer subtype-dependent enrichment of ligand independent oncogenic signatures and phenotypes [ChIP-seq]
Contributors : Megan E Yates ; Zheqi Li ; Yiting Li ; Hannah Guzolik ; Xiaosong Wang ; Tiantong Liu ; Jagmohan Hooda ; Jennifer M Atkinson ; Adrian V Lee ; Steffi OesterreichSeries Type : Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensBreast cancer is a leading cause of female mortality and despite advancements in personalized therapeutics, metastatic disease largely remains incurable due to drug resistance. The estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1) is expressed in two-thirds of all breast cancer, and under endocrine stress, somatic ESR1 mutations arise in ~30% of cases that result in ...

Fertility Preservation in Patients with Breast Cancer
AbstractPurpose of ReviewMany breast cancer treatments are gonadotoxic, which can result in infertility in survivors. Patients should be counseled on the impact of cancer treatment on future fertility and their options regarding fertility preservation. The main purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the implications of breast cancer treatment on future fertility and review various strategies for fertility preservation and their safety in this population.Recent FindingsThere is no demonstrated effect of ovarian stimulation, GnRH agonist therapy, or ovarian tissue cryopreservation/transplantation on breast cancer out...

Optimal [18F]FDG PET/CT Cutoff for Pathologic Complete Response in HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Neoadjuvant Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab in the PHERGain Trial
Conclusion: In the PHERGain trial, an increased SUVmax cutoff (≥77%) after 2 cycles of exclusive HP (with or without endocrine therapy) achieves a pCR in the range of the control arm with chemotherapy plus HP (59.5% vs. 57.7%, respectively), further identifying a subgroup of patients with HER2-addicted tumors. However, the original cutoff (≥40%) maximizes the number of patients who could avoid chemotherapy. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1749: Real-World Experience among Elderly Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Treated with CDK4/6 Inhibitor-Based Therapy
Witkiewicz The largest portion of breast cancer patients diagnosed after 70 years of age present with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer subtypes. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor treatment, in conjunction with endocrine therapy, has become standard-of-care for metastatic HR+ breast cancer. In total, 320 patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving CDK4/6 inhibitor combined with fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor were enrolled in an ongoing observational study or were included in an IRB-approved retrospective study. All patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitor-based therapy that were &g...
