Journal ArticleDOI

Aromatase and aromatase inhibitors.

TL;DR: Preliminary studies con ducted in neoadjuvant setting indicated that aromatase inhibitors showed an extremely high response rate, which predicts a future paradigm, that neoadedjuvant therapy using aromat enzyme inhibitors singly or in combination may become standard for hormone-responsive and post-menopausal breast cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoadjuvant use of 5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (FEC) followed by docetaxel (T) with concurrent COX-2 inhibitor in women with stage II/III breast cancer: A subanalysis of cardiac function.

TL;DR: This substudy is to evaluate the change in cardiac function of patients during treatment with preoperative FEC-T with concurrent celecoxib until and after surgery to evaluate changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) across time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of Photoacoustic Mammography for Detection of Breast Cancer

TL;DR: PAM was used to evaluate 39 patients with 41 previously confirmed breast lesions before their surgical operations between August 2010 and March 2012 and it was suggested that PAM is a feasible technique for clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the recurrence score by the 21-gene signature assay as a predictor of clinical response to neoadjuvant exemestane for 24 weeks in estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer.

TL;DR: This is the first report that the 21-gene signature has value in predicting a response to neo-EXE therapy in postmenopausal pts with ER-positive breast cancer, and provides preliminary evidence for the clinical usefulness of the neoadjuvant treatment selection.
