Article Abstract
Introduction: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and radiological imaging are increasingly recognized as crucial elements in breast cancer management. While radiology remains the cornerstone for screening and monitoring, ctDNA holds distinctive advantages in anticipating diagnosis, recurrence, or progression, providing concurrent biological insights complementary to imaging results.
Areas Covered: This review delves into the current evidence on the synergistic relationship between ctDNA and imaging in breast cancer. It presents data on the clinical validity and utility of ctDNA in both early and advanced settings, providing insights into emerging liquid biopsy techniques like epigenetics and fragmentomics. Simultaneously, it explores the present and future landscape of imaging methodologies, particularly focusing on radiomics.
Expert Opinion: Numerous are the current technical, strategic, and economic challenges preventing the clinical integration of ctDNA analysis in the breast cancer monitoring. Understanding these complexities and devising targeted strategies is pivotal to effectively embedding this methodology into personalized patient care.

Chemotherapeutic resistance is a significant issue in the treatment of breast cancer, which is related to pyroptosis inhibition. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In this study we investigated the role of the lncRNA STMN1P2 in doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer, as well as its correlation with pyroptosis inhibition.

Purpose: Recent advancements in medical technologies have made trans-arterial treatment of breast cancer feasible. Consequently, understanding the vascular anatomies of breast cancers and axillary lymph node metastases has become indispensable for sophisticated treatments. The aim of this study was to determine the vascular anatomy of the breast, which is crucial for trans-arterial chemoembolization in patients with breast cancer.
