Clinical Diagnosis and Management of Breast Cancer

TLDR
The diagnosis and management of breast cancer are undergoing a paradigm shift from a one-size-fits-all approach to an era of personalized medicine, including molecular imaging and genomic expression profiles.
Abstract
The diagnosis and management of breast cancer are undergoing a paradigm shift from a one-size-fits-all approach to an era of personalized medicine. Sophisticated diagnostics, including molecular imaging and genomic expression profiles, enable improved tumor characterization. These diagnostics, combined with newer surgical techniques and radiation therapies, result in a collaborative multidisciplinary approach to minimizing recurrence and reducing treatment-associated morbidity. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, including screening, staging, and multidisciplinary management.

Comparing radical mastectomy with quadrantectomy, axillary dissection, and radiotherapy in patients with small cancers of the breast

TL;DR: From these results, mastectomy appears to involve unnecessary mutilation in patients with breast cancer of less than 2 cm and no palpable axillary nodes.

Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Human Breast, Colorectal, Lung, Ovarian and Prostate Cancers

TL;DR: TAMs are highly heterogeneous cells that originate from resident tissue-specific macrophages and from newly recruited monocytes as mentioned in this paper, which constitute up to 50% of the cell mass of human tumors.

Therapeutic Targeting of CDK12/CDK13 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

TL;DR: SR-4835 is reported, a highly selective dual inhibitor of CDK12 and CDK13, which disables triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and provokes a "BRCAness" phenotype that results in deficiencies in DNA damage repair, promoting synergy with DNA-damaging chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors.

Beyond breast density: a review on the advancing role of parenchymal texture analysis in breast cancer risk assessment

TL;DR: The advancing role of mammographic texture analysis is reviewed as a potential novel approach to characterize the breast parenchymal tissue to augment conventional density assessment in breast cancer risk estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-free DNA and next-generation sequencing in the service of personalized medicine for lung cancer

TL;DR: This review presents an analysis of the role of cfDNA as a liquid biopsy technique and NGS as an analytical tool in studying EGFR and MET, two frequently mutated genes in lung cancer.

Molecular portraits of human breast tumours

TL;DR: Variation in gene expression patterns in a set of 65 surgical specimens of human breast tumours from 42 different individuals were characterized using complementary DNA microarrays representing 8,102 human genes, providing a distinctive molecular portrait of each tumour.

A Multigene Assay to Predict Recurrence of Tamoxifen-Treated, Node-Negative Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The recurrence score has been validated as quantifying the likelihood of distant recurrence in tamoxifen-treated patients with node-negative, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer and could be used as a continuous function to predict distant recurrent in individual patients.

The task force.

TL;DR: The Joint UNECE/Eurostat/OECD Working Group on Statistics for Sustainable Development (WGSSD) was commissioned by the CES in 2005 to develop a broad conceptual framework for measuring sustainable development based on the capital approach, and to identify a small set of indicators that could serve for international comparisons.

Effect of radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery on 10-year recurrence and 15-year breast cancer death: meta-analysis of individual patient data for 10,801 women in 17 randomised trials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a meta-analysis of individual patient data for 10,801 women in 17 randomised trials of radiotherapy versus no radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery, 8337 of whom had pathologically confirmed node-negative (pN0) or node-positive (nN+) disease.
