PURPOSE: In Tanzania, high breast cancer mortality can be attributed to delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation. We adapted the cascade analysis method to depict sequential steps along the breast cancer care pathway in a tertiary hospital in Mwanza, to identify where correction of loss to attrition would have the biggest impact on improving outcomes. METHODS: This prospective cohort included adult women presenting with breast concerns between February 2020 and January 2022...

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of a BRCA gene mutation presents a dilemma because life-changing medical decisions must be made to prevent breast and ovarian cancer. There is minimal evidence regarding how psychosexual functioning, psychological well-being with regard to body image and sexuality, affects the decision to have prophylactic treatment in women of childbearing age (WCBA; 18-49 years) with a BRCA gene mutation. PURPOSE: To explore, describe, and interpret the experience of women with a BRCA mutation during the treatment and decision-making process...

Purpose: As a part of breast-conserving therapy (BCT), postoperative radiotherapy is one of the main means to improve the clinical efficacy of breast cancer (BCa). However, ionizing radiation (IR) may induce BCa cells to develop radioresistance, which causes tumor recurrence and metastasis after treatment. Recently, DOC-2/DAB2 interactive protein (DAB2IP) has been reported often down-regulated in a variety of cancers and is related to tumor tolerance to radiotherapy. In this study, BCa cell lines were introduced to study how DAB2IP deficient influenced BCa cell radiosensitivity in vitro and in vivo and discuss the possible mechanism...

Endothelial cells (ECs) grant access of disseminated cancer cells to distant organs. However, the molecular players regulating the activation of quiescent ECs at the premetastatic niche (PMN) remain elusive. Here, we find that ECs at the PMN coexpress tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its cognate death receptor 5 (DR5). Unexpectedly, endothelial TRAIL interacts intracellularly with DR5 to prevent its signaling and preserve a quiescent vascular phenotype. In absence of endothelial TRAIL, DR5 activation induces EC death and nuclear factor κB/p38-dependent EC stickiness, compromising vascular integrity and promoting myeloid cell infiltration, breast cancer cell adhesion, and metastasis...

The progression of breast cancer involves cancer-cell invasions of extracellular matrices. To investigate the progression, 3D cell cultures are widely used along with different types of matrices. Currently, the matrices are often characterized using parallel-plate rheometry for matrix viscoelasticity, or liquid-like viscous and stiffness-related elastic characteristics. The characterization reveals averaged information and sample-to-sample variation, yet, it neglects internal heterogeneity within matrices, experienced by cancer cells in 3D culture...

BACKGROUND: The boost to the tumor bed improves local control in breast cancer and it is an important part of the breast conserving therapy. However, information about the use of a hypofractionated boost is sparse, thus further studies are needed. We conducted a retrospective study with the aim of comparing hypofractionated boost (HB) and normofractionated boost (NB) on skin toxicity and local control. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 96 women with early breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery and hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (WBI) were retrospectively analyzed divided into hypofractionated boost group and conventional fractionation boost group...

INTRODUCTION: Ceramide synthases (CERSes) are also known longevity assurance (LASS) genes. CERSes play important roles in the regulation of cancer progression. The CERS family is expressed in a variety of human tumours and is involved in tumorigenesis. They are closely associated with the progression of liver, breast, cervical, ovarian, colorectal, head and neck squamous cell, gastric, lung, prostate, oesophageal, pancreatic and blood cancers. CERSes play diverse and important roles in the regulation of cell survival, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and drug resistance...

BACKGROUND: Cosmetic surgery is a large portion of practice revenue for many plastic surgeons, and therefore understanding the economic principles of pricing is critical. While national averages provide a starting point for price determination, they may not reflect specific economic factors. Over the last decade, publicly reported pricing for cosmetic surgery has increased in prevalence, improving price transparency for patients and surgeons alike. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to compare publicly reported prices to national cosmetic surgery averages and identify variables that have the greatest impact on price determination...

Stochasticity is an inherent feature of biological neural activities. We propose a noise-injection scheme to implement a GHz-rate stochastic photonic spiking neuron (S-PSN). The firing-probability encoding is experimentally demonstrated and exploited for Bayesian inference with unsupervised learning. In a breast diagnosis task, the stochastic photonic spiking neural network (S-PSNN) can not only achieve a classification accuracy of 96.6%, but can also evaluate the diagnosis uncertainty with prediction entropies...
