PURPOSE: Eribulin is a unique anti-cancer drug which can improve overall survival (OS) of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), probably by modulating the tumor immune microenvironment. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of serum levels of immune-related and inflammatory cytokines in patients treated with eribulin. Furthermore, we investigated the association between cytokines and immune cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and cytotoxic and regulatory T cells, to explore how these cytokines might affect the immune microenvironment...

PURPOSE: The incidence of breast cancer in young women (BCYW) has increased in recent decades. Malignant disease in this subset is characterized by its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Ovarian function suppression (OFS) in these patients improves survival especially in hormone receptor-positive (HR +) cases. The Regan Composite Risk (RCR) is a prognostic tool to identify high-risk HR + BC candidates for OFS. Our study sought to characterize a Chilean cohort of early HR + BCYW assessing the use of OFS and its related prognosis and the utility of RCR in our patients...

PURPOSE: Chemotherapeutic agents exert immunomodulatory effects on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and immune cells. Eribulin favorably affects the immunological status of patients with breast cancer. However, the effects of eribulin on the immune cells remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eribulin on immune cells. METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donors and mouse splenocytes were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies...

PURPOSE: Breast cancer often metastasizes to the central nervous system. Although the prognosis of brain metastases from breast cancer has been considered poor, and systemic therapy has not contributed to an improved prognosis, newer agents are expected to be more effective. BRCAness is defined as the status of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in tumor tissue, regardless of the presence of pathogenic germline BRCA1/2 variants. A study employing next-generation sequencing analysis showed that HRD was found relatively frequently in brain metastases of breast cancer patients...

PURPOSE: BRCA-deficient breast cancers (BC) are highly sensitive to platinum-based chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors due to their deficiency in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. However, HR deficiency (HRD) extends beyond BRCA-associated BC, highlighting the need for a sensitive method to enrich for HRD tumors in an alternative way. A promising approach is the use of functional HRD tests which evaluate the HR capability of tumor cells by measuring RAD51 protein accumulation at DNA damage sites...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in females in South America. This study aims to examine the BC burden in 12 South American countries between 1990 and 2019. DATA AND METHODS: The estimates of BC burden and risk factors were procured from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study for the period 1990-2019. Development levels of countries were gauged using socio-demographic index (SDI). Decomposition analysis was employed to categorize the change in incidence between 1990 and 2019 into three factors: population growth, population aging and age-specific incidence rate...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Locoregional control in breast cancer is a fundamental part of treatment and determinant for survival outcomes. It has been reported that most locoregional recurrence (LRR) events occur in the first 5 years after treatment. However, LRR continue to occur after this timeline, with unclear risk factors and unknown survival impact. METHODS: Retrospective singe-centered cohort of patients treated for primary breast cancer, between January 2002 and December 2004...

PURPOSE: Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a distinct histological subtype of breast cancer that can make early detection with mammography challenging. We compared imaging performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to digital mammography (DM) for diagnoses of ILC, invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and invasive mixed carcinoma (IMC) in a screening population. METHODS: We included screening exams (DM; n = 1,715,249 or DBT; n = 414,793) from 2011 to 2018 among 839,801 women in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium...

PURPOSE: The overexpression of mitotic kinase monopolar spindle 1 (Mps1) has been identified in many tumor types, and targeting Mps1 for tumor therapy has shown great promise in multiple preclinical cancer models. However, the role played by Mps1 in tamoxifen (TAM) resistance in breast cancer has never been reported. METHODS: The sensitivity of breast cancer cells to tamoxifen was analysed in colony formation assays and wound healing assays. Enhanced transactivational activity of estrogen receptor α (ERα) led by Mps1 overexpression was determined by luciferase assays...

PURPOSE: Although axillary dissection is no longer indicated for many breast cancer patients with 1-2 positive axillary sentinel lymph nodes (ASLN), intraoperative ASLN assessment is still performed in many institutions for patients undergoing mastectomy or neoadjuvant therapy. With recent advancements in digital pathology, pathologists increasingly evaluate ASLN via remote telepathology. We aimed to compare the performance characteristics of remote telepathology and conventional on-site intraoperative ASLN assessment...
