Investigating the level of vitamin D receptor gene expression in two tumoral and healthy breast tissues in breast cancer patients and its association with prognostic factors
CONCLUSIONS: The expression level of VDR in healthy tissue was significantly higher than tumoral tissue. However, there was no significant relationship between VDR and tumor grade, HER2, ER, PR, LVI, LN, disease stage, age, and tumor size.PMID:38616231 | DOI:10.1186/s43046-024-00215-5 (Source: J Egypt Natl Canc In...)

Distinct ER and PR expression patterns significantly affect the clinical outcomes of early HER2-positive breast cancer: A real-world analysis of 871 patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy
CONCLUSIONS: HER2-positive breast cancer exhibited three distinct HR-specific subtypes with varying clinical manifestations and treatment responses. These findings suggest personalized treatment strategies considering ER and PR expression patterns, emphasizing the need for further investigations to unravel molecular traits underlying HER2-positive breast cancer with distinct HR expression patterns.PMID:38615482 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2024.103733 (Source: Breast)

Hormone Receptor-Positive/HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Hormone Therapy and Anti-HER2 Treatment: An Update on Treatment Strategies
J Clin Med. 2024 Mar 24;13(7):1873. doi: 10.3390/jcm13071873.ABSTRACTHormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer represents a distinct subtype expressing estrogen and progesterone receptors with an overexpression of HER2. Approximately 14% of female breast cancer cases are HER2-positive, with the majority being HR-positive. These tumors show a cross-talk between the hormonal and HER2 pathways; the interaction has implications for the treatment options for the disease. In this review, we analyze the biology of HR-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer and summarize the evidence concerning the standard of care o...

Targeted therapeutic options in early and metastatic NSCLC-overview
Pathol Oncol Res. 2024 Mar 28;30:1611715. doi: 10.3389/pore.2024.1611715. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe complex therapeutic strategy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has changed significantly in recent years. Disease-free survival increased significantly with immunotherapy and chemotherapy registered in perioperative treatments, as well as adjuvant registered immunotherapy and targeted therapy (osimertinib) in case of EGFR mutation. In oncogenic-addictive metastatic NSCLC, primarily in adenocarcinoma, the range of targeted therapies is expanding, with which the expected overall survival increases significantly, measure...

Bruceantinol works as a CDK2/4/6 inhibitor to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells
Chem Biol Interact. 2024 Apr 10:110999. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110999. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBruceantinol (BOL), isolated from the dried fruit of the Brucea javanica (L.) Merr., exhibits cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be fully addressed. In this paper, the MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines were used as experimental models to uncover how BOL inhibits breast cancer cell growth. The effects of BOL on cell growth, proliferation, the cell cycle, and apoptosis were investigated using the MTT assays, EdU incorporation assays, and flow cytometry, re...
