Article Abstract
In this study, we examined whether axillary web syndrome (AWS) in patients with breast cancer following axil-lary lymph node dissection affects range of motion (ROM), upper extremity function, and quality of life (QOL). The risk factors for AWS were also evaluated in a total of 238 consecutive breast cancer patients follow-ing axillary lymph node dissection. At 1, 2, and 3 months after surgery, there were no significant differences between the AWS group and the non-AWS group in upper-limb function or QOL. At 2 months after surgery, shoulder flexion and abduction ROM were significantly higher in the AWS group than in the non-AWS group (p < 0.05). Self-training time at home was not significantly different between the groups at 1, 2, or 3 months. Only age was a significant predictor of AWS at 1 month after surgery (p < 0.05). The AWS group in the present study did not have worse results for shoulder joint ROM, upper-limb function, and QOL than the non-AWS group. Younger age should be useful for predicting the development of AWS in the early postoperative period.

Comprehensive Overview of Breast Cancer in India.
JCO Glob Oncol
May 2025
Department of Biochemistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Purpose: Breast cancer remains a significant public health challenge globally, as well as in India, where it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in females. Significant disparities in incidence, mortality, and access to health care across India's sociodemographically diverse population highlight the need for increased awareness, policy reform, and research.
Design: This review consolidates data from national cancer registries, global cancer databases, and institutional findings from a tertiary care center to examine the epidemiology, clinical challenges, and management gaps specific to India.
An economic scenario analysis of implementing artificial intelligence in BreastScreen Norway-Impact on radiologist person-years, costs and effects.

ObjectiveTo study the implications of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) as a decision support tool in the Norwegian breast cancer screening program concerning cost-effectiveness and time savings for radiologists.MethodsIn a decision tree model using recent data from AI vendors and the Cancer Registry of Norway, and assuming equal effectiveness of radiologists plus AI compared to standard practice, we simulated costs, effects and radiologist person-years over the next 20 years under different scenarios: 1) Assuming a €1 additional running cost of AI instead of the €3 assumed in the base case, 2) varying the AI-score thresholds for single vs. double readings, 3) varying the consensus and recall rates, and 4) reductions in the interval cancer rate compared to standard practice.

Background: Among childhood cancer survivors, germline rare variants in autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility genes (AD CSGs) could increase subsequent neoplasm (SNs) risks, but risks for rarer SNs and by age at onset are not well understood.
Methods: We pooled the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and St Jude Lifetime Cohort (median follow-up = 29.7 years, range 7.
STmiR: A Novel XGBoost-based framework for spatially resolved miRNA activity prediction in cancer transcriptomics.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression in cancer biology, yet their spatial dynamics within tumor microenvironments (TMEs) remain underexplored due to technical limitations in current spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies. To address this gap, we present STmiR, a novel XGBoost-based framework for spatially resolved miRNA activity prediction. STmiR integrates bulk RNA-seq data (TCGA and CCLE) with spatial transcriptomics profiles to model nonlinear miRNA-mRNA interactions, achieving high predictive accuracy (Spearman's ρ > 0.

Objective: This study employs integrated network toxicology and molecular docking to investigate the molecular basis underlying 4-nonylphenol (4-NP)-mediated enhancement of breast cancer susceptibility.
Methods: We integrated data from multiple databases, including ChEMBL, STITCH, Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards, OMIM and TTD. Core compound-disease-associated target genes were identified through Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis.
