Case Report: Bilateral targeted intraoperative radiotherapy: a safe and effective alternative for synchronous bilateral breast cancer
ConclusionOur findings demonstrate the successful use of IORT for BCS in patients with BBC. Furthermore, none of the patients in our study experienced any complications, suggesting the feasibility of the use of IORT in BBC. Considering the benefits of improved patient compliance and a reduced number of multiple visits, IORT may serve as an excellent patient-centered alternative for BBC. Future studies are recommended to reinforce the applicability of IORT in patients with BBC. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

Feasibility of accelerated partial breast irradiation with strut-adjusted volume implant brachytherapy in Japan focusing on dosimetry and acute toxicity: a Japanese multi-institutional prospective study
CONCLUSION: APBI with SAVI brachytherapy is feasible in Japan from the aspects of compliance with dose constraints and frequency of acute toxicities.PMID:37865624 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-023-01513-x (Source: Breast Cancer)

FGFR2 genetic variants in women with breast cancer
Mol Med Rep. 2023 Dec;28(6):226. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2023.13113. Epub 2023 Oct 13.ABSTRACTBlack African populations are more genetically diverse than others, but genetic variants have been studied primarily in European populations. The present study examined the association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, associated with breast cancer in non‑African populations, with breast cancer in Black, southern African women. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples of 1,001 patients with breast cancer and 1,006 controls (without breast cancer), and the rs2981582, rs3...
