Management of cancer treatment-induced bone loss in patients with breast and hormone sensitive prostate cancer: AIOM survey
CONCLUSION: A heterogeneous approach on the management of cancer treatment-induced bone loss in Italy arises from this survey. This scenario highlights the need for a major consensus of the Italian scientific community on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of cancer treatment-induced bone loss and for a greater awareness of this topic among Italian oncologists.PMID:38462772 | DOI:10.1177/03008916241236279 (Source: Tumori)

Effect of menopausal hormonal therapy on cardiovascular risks in Korean postmenopausal women: A nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: This nationwide cohort study demonstrated an increased risk of CVD, driven mainly by an increased risk of stroke, among tibolone and oral or transdermal estrogen users, compared with that of non-MHT users.PMID:38465460 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17803 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Unilateral tongue atrophy as the initial clinical manifestation in a patient with prostate cancer
Clin Case Rep. 2024 Mar 7;12(3):e8615. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8615. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTKEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Unilateral tongue atrophy can be a rare and crucial early indicator of metastatic prostate cancer, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring in clinical assessments. This case underscores the importance of considering cranial nerve involvement, especially the twelfth, for timely intervention and comprehensive patient care.ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer, ranking among the most prevalent cancers, often manifests with skeletal metastases. Cranial nerve involvement, particularly the twelfth cranial nerve (XII), as a...

Menopausal hormone therapy: A review of metabolic and thermogenic effects
Around 85 % of women experience menopausal symptoms, and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is recognised as the most effective treatment, achieving reductions of over 75 % in the frequency and severity of these symptoms. Despite this, women are reluctant to start or continue MHT, often because of concerns about an increased risk of breast cancer and a belief that it can lead to weight gain. (Source: Maturitas)

Infertility and risk of postmenopausal breast cancer in the women ’s health initiative
ConclusionThese findings suggest that infertility may be modestly associated with future risk of postmenopausal breast cancer due to age at first pregnancy and highlight the importance of incorporating reproductive history across the life course into breast cancer analyses.

Hormone Therapy During Infancy or Early Childhood for Patients with Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism, Klinefelter or Turner Syndrome
Managing patients unable to produce sex steroids using gonadotropins to mimic minipuberty in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, or sex steroids in patients with Klinefelter or Turner syndrome, is promising. There is a need to pursue research in this area, with large prospective cohorts and long-term data before these treatments can be routinely considered.

Mammographic surveillance after breast cancer
Br J Radiol. 2024 Mar 6:tqae043. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqae043. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEarly detection of local recurrence has been shown to improve survival. What is unclear is how frequently mammography should be performed, how long surveillance should continue and how the answers to these questions vary with tumour pathology, patients age and surgery type. Many of these questions are not directly answerable from the current literature. While some of these questions will be answered by the Mammo50 study, evidence from local recurrence rates, tumour biology and the lead time of mammography can be used to guide policy. Y...

Effects of extended aromatase inhibitors in women with hormone-dependent breast cancer who have already received five years of adjuvant hormone therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
DISCUSSION: Prolonged AI therapy has significant benefits in terms of disease-free survival in women with hormone-dependent breast cancer. However, adverse effects and a lack of evidence for a benefit on overall survival must be considered in the decision-making process regarding adjuvant hormone therapy extension.PMID:38453587 | DOI:10.1016/j.bulcan.2023.12.016 (Source: Bulletin du Cancer)

Catamenial pneumothorax with persistent air leak
An Sist Sanit Navar. 2024 Mar 7;47(1):e1069. doi: 10.23938/ASSN.1069.ABSTRACTCatamenial pneumothorax is a spontaneous recurrent pneumothorax that occurs in women of reproductive age and in temporal relationship with the menses. It usually occurs within 24 hours before or 72 hours after the start of the menstrual cycle; however, multiple variations have been described in terms of the temporal relationship. To date, it is considered a rare condition; this may be justified by the limited available knowledge on this disease leading to misdiagnosis. Often, making a diagnosis of catamenial pneumothorax is complicated; it mainly ...
