Anastrozole plus fulvestrant vs. anastrozole alone for hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
For patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive advanced breast cancer, whether the combination of anastrozole and fulvestrant is more effective than anastrozole alone is controversial. Our...
Diagnostic yield of a custom-designed multi-gene cancer panel in Irish patients with breast cancer.
Breast cancer is genetically heterogeneous, and parellel multi-gene sequencing is the most cost- and time-efficient manner to investigate breast cancer predisposition. Numerous multi-gene pa...
Fertility Preservation in Breast Cancer with Case-Based Examples
With more young breast cancer survivors, a trend toward having children later in life, and improvements in assisted reproductive technology (ART), fertility preserving techniques are of grow...
Cytoplasmic ERα and NFκB Promote Cell Survival in Mouse Mammary Cancer Cell Lines.
There is a desperate need in the field for mouse mammary tumors and cell lines that faithfully mimic estrogen receptor (ER) expression and activity found in human breast cancers. We found th...
Electrochemical Cytosensors for Detection of Breast Cancer Cells
Breast cancer is one of lethal cancers among women with its metastasis leading to cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) derived from a primary tumor can be d...
[Spatial autocorrelation of breast cancer mortality in the Metropolitan Region, Chile: an ecological study].
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and Chile, being the leading cause of female cancer death. A wide variation in mortality has been reported, with geographic clu...

Estrogen receptors (ER) are members of the nuclear intracellular receptors family. ER once activated by estrogen, it binds to DNA via translocating into the nucleus and regulates the activit...
Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity prevention with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril in low-risk breast cancer women: results of a prospective randomized study.
Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) remains the main long-term and irreversible side effect in malignancy survivors. Cardiotoxicity prevention is one of most reasonable attitudes.To v...
Sequential delivery of synergistic drugs by silica nanocarriers for enhanced tumour treatment.
Herein hybrid silica nanoparticles have been engineered to direct the sequential delivery of multiple chemotherapeutic drugs in response to external stimuli such as variations in pH. The nan...
Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of 2-(2-Bromo-3-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole Derivatives as Possible Anti-Breast Cancer Agents.
Breast Cancer (BCa) is the most often diagnosed cancer among women who were in the late 1940's. Breast cancer growth is largely dependent on the expression of estrogen and progesterone recep...
An alternative to standard lumpectomy: a 5-year case series review of oncoplastic breast surgery outcomes in a Canadian setting
Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) is becoming the new standard of care for breast-conserving surgery (BCS). It has become increasingly popular in Europe; however, it has not yet been widely accepted...
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of betulin-3-yl 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-glycopyranosides.
Betulin is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, possessing a lupane-structure, with a wide range of pharmacological activities. Its weak hydrosolubility hinders the biological activity of the...
Improving mammography through effective screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment at a rural health center.
Screening mammography rates at a rural health center were below state rates, while the countywide rate of breast cancer was above the state and national rates.Only 25% of patients at the pra...
