Evaluating Alterations in Breast Cancer Patients after Recovery Via A PET/CT-Assisted Metabolomics Approach
CONCLUSION: Untargeted metabolomics studies can be used to understand the etiopathogenesis of breast cancer, finding new biomarkers and alterations of metabolic pathways. After the tumor burden was removed, homeostasis was restored and the concentration of several metabolites began to normalize. This study elucidated the effects of breast cancer at the molecular level.PMID:38104283 (Source: Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal)

Investigation of the IL7R α Gene Polymorphism rs6897932 and the Expression Levels of the CDH1, TTPAL, and FHIT Genes in Patients with Breast Cancer
CONCLUSION: Our results are compatible with those reported in the literature. It can be suggested that the upregulation observed in the TTPAL gene might be a marker for breast cancer. The downregulation of CDH1 and FHIT gene expression has been validated in our study. An increase in the copy numbers of FHIT mRNA in blood samples and a decrease in the tumor samples can also be considered an abnormal condition.PMID:38104284 (Source: Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal)

Knowledge of Obesity's Health Related Outcomes among Hispanic Women living in Puerto Rico
CONCLUSION: Counseling about preventable cancer risk factors through primary care to all women must be encouraged especially in young healthy females. Further studies should address qualitative aspects of the odds differences in the obesity-cancer link knowledge observed between income categories for women with/without previous cancer diagnoses.PMID:38104285 (Source: Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal)
