Article Abstract

Endocrine therapy (ET) is essential for managing ER+ HER2- breast cancer; however, resistance remains a significant clinical challenge. This study investigated whether CD44-SLC1A2 gene fusions, reported in gastrointestinal malignancies, contribute to ET resistance mechanisms in breast cancer. Although no CD44-SLC1A2 fusions were detected, high expression of CD44 and SLC1A2 was associated with poor survival outcomes and identified a therapy-resistant subpopulation sustained by aspartate and glutamate metabolism, highlighting potential metabolic vulnerabilities for future therapeutic intervention.

Background: With the availability of more advanced and effective treatments, life expectancy has improved among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but this makes communication with their medical oncologist more complex. Some patients struggle to learn about their therapeutic options and to understand and articulate their preferences. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can enhance patient-provider communication, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes for patients living with MBC.

Background: Iron metabolism may influence breast cancer development; however, links between iron-related biomarkers and breast cancer remain inconclusive. Given differences in iron status by menopausal status, we examined associations of ferritin and other iron biomarkers, with breast cancer incidence, stratified by menopausal status, in a Korean screening cohort.

Methods: This cohort study included 140,747 Korean women screened for breast cancer from 2011-2020.

Background: Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for certain cancers and is increasing in the United States. We estimated the impact of alcohol consumption on cancer incidence trends in the United States from 2008-2019 across six alcohol-related cancers among men and women.

Methods: Average daily alcohol consumption (ADC) was calculated from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS, 1998-2009) and adjusted to per capita sales data to account for underreporting alcohol use.

Hormonal status and lymphatic invasion are two important prognostic factors among cases of breast cancer. This study aims to assess and evaluate the hormonal receptor status and lymph node involvement among female breast cancer patients in Duhok city, Kurdistan region, Iraq. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 156 diagnosed cases of breast cancer who had undergone surgical treatment and laboratory investigations at Azadi Teaching Hospital and Duhok Private Hospital for 30 months.
