New insights into HER2-low breast cancer brain metastasis: A retrospective analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients diagnosed with HER2-low BCBM exhibited a more favorable prognosis than those with HER2-zero BCBM, particularly within the HR-negative subgroup. The low expression of HER2 is supposed to be linked to the prolonged survival of BCBM patients.PMID:38176304 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2023.103669 (Source: Breast)

Ten-year clinical outcome, toxicity and compliance of dose-dense sequential adjuvant administration of cyclophosphamide & amp; epirubicin followed by docetaxel in patients with early breast cancer: A hellenic cooperative oncology group observational study (HE 10/10) with concurrent investigation of significance of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this study confirms the significance of dds adjuvant chemotherapeutic regimen in terms of long-term survival outcome, safety and toxicity as well as the prognostic significance of TILs and infiltrating CD8+ lymphocytes in BC patients with early-stage disease.PMID:38176305 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2023.103668 (Source: Breast)

Efficacy of antiandrogens in androgen receptor-positive triple-negative metastatic breast cancer: Real-life data
Breast. 2023 Dec 22;73:103667. doi: 10.1016/j.breast.2023.103667. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntiandrogens (AA) have been tested in clinical trials in androgen receptor (AR) + triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We aim to assess the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of AA in real life. The primary end-point was CBR at 6 months. Twenty-four patients were assessable and received: abiraterone acetate (62 %), enzalutamide (8 %) and bicalutamide (30 %). CBR at 6 months was 29 % (7/24) with 2 CR, 3 PR and 2 SD. Four patients had a clinical benefit >12 months. Real-life efficacy of AA use in metastatic AR + TNBC are in line wit...

Male breast cancer: No evidence for mosaic BRCA1 promoter methylation involvement
Breast. 2023 Dec 10;73:103620. doi: 10.1016/j.breast.2023.103620. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast cancers (BC) are rare in men and are often caused by constitutional predisposing factors. In women, mosaic BRCA1 promoter methylations (MBPM) are frequent events, detected in 4-8% of healthy subjects. This constitutional epimutation increases risk of early-onset and triple-negative BC. However, the role of MBPM in male BC predisposition has never been assessed. We screened 40 blood samples from men affected by BC, and performed extensive tumour analysis on MBPM-positive patients. We detected two patients carrying MBPM. Su...
