Exposure to psychotropic drugs and breast cancer risk in patients with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder: a nested case-control study
This study aimed to assess such risk among women with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD). A nested case-control study design was used with data obtained from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Logistic regression analysis with adjustments for demographic characteristics, medical and mental comorbidities, and all-cause clinical visits was performed to estimate the risk of breast cancer according to the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) of psychotropic drugs. The study included 1564 women with MDD or BD who had breast cancer, and 15,540 women with MDD or BD who did not have brea...

Transcriptomic characterization of the histopathological growth patterns in breast cancer liver metastases
Clin Exp Metastasis. 2024 Mar 29. doi: 10.1007/s10585-024-10279-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetastatic breast cancer (mBC) remains incurable and liver metastases (LM) are observed in approximately 50% of all patients with mBC. In some cases, surgical resection of breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM) is associated with prolonged survival. However, there are currently no validated marker to identify these patients. The interactions between the metastatic cancer cells and the liver microenvironment result in two main histopathological growth patterns (HGP): replacement (r-HGP), characterized by a direct contact between ...

Combination of radiotherapy and flap reconstruction for cancer treatments (Review)
Mol Clin Oncol. 2024 Mar 7;20(5):34. doi: 10.3892/mco.2024.2732. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTFlaps are commonly used to repair large tissue defects caused by tumor resection and are often combined with radiotherapy. Relevant explanations for the mechanism underlying the effect of radiotherapy on flaps and the selection of the sequence of flaps and radiotherapy plan have emerged. The combination of flap and radiotherapy is most widely used in breast, head and neck cancers, while free flaps are the most widely used. Although, reduction of the incidence of complications of flap reconstruction, prevention of flap reconstructi...

Pure mucinous adenocarcinoma of the breast with the rare lymphoplasmacytic infiltration: A case report with review of literature
We present the case of a 55-year-old female with a 15-year history of a painless, gradually enlarging palpable lump on her left breast. Upon examination, a 5 × 5 cm lump with well-defined margins and a hard consistency was found in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Left Breast. The patient underwent modified radical mastectomy and received adjuvant endocrine therapy with tamoxifen due to hormone receptor-positive status. Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a unique entity with specific histological features including the prese...

Expression and Clinical Significance of NUDCD1, PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway-Related Molecules and Immune Infiltration in Breast Cancer
CONCLUSION: The expression of NUDCD1 was explored to be elevated in breast cancer and was observed to be correlated with a poorer prognosis. p-AKT, PI3K, AKT, mTOR, and p-mTOR expression levels underwent significant elevation in breast cancer. The function of NUDCD1 within breast cancer might be associated with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.PMID:38553373 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2024.02.022 (Source: Clinical Breast Cancer)
