Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy in Patients with Germline BRCA Mutations: Is it Safe?Current Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 90-94 - 2016
Richard Gilmore, David M. Euhus
Through most of recorded medical history, there has been debate about how much healthy tissue should be removed in order to effectively treat breast cancer. The prevailing opinion at the start of the twentieth century was “a lot.” The trend has been reversed in recent decades as advances in systemic treatments and radiation therapy have pushed local recurrence rates down even as breast surgery has...... hiện toàn bộ
Update on the Role of Epothilones in Metastatic Breast CancerCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 51-56 - 2012
Bradford R. Hirsch, Shelby D. Reed, Gary H. Lyman
The role of epothilones in the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer remains unclear. While the pivotal studies for ixabepilone were published between 2005 and 2010, and the agent received approval in 2007 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, its uptake in routine treatment of breast cancer that is resistant to anthracyclines and taxanes remains inconsistent. The other ...... hiện toàn bộ
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy After ChemotherapyCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 97-103 - 2011
James W. Jakub, Judy C. Boughey
The timing of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains a debated topic, despite increasing literature supporting use of SLN biopsy after chemotherapy. This article outlines the arguments for SLN biopsy prior to initiation of systemic therapy versus after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the literature surrounding this debate. Additionally, special patient...... hiện toàn bộ
Biomarkers in Breast Cancer and the Implications of Their DiscordanceCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 266-274 - 2013
Ashish Singh, Bhawna Sirohi, Sudeep Gupta
The analysis of biomarkers in breast cancer has made a large impact in treatment decisions and determining prognosis. Information gained from the phenotypic and molecular profile helps both in prognostic stratification as well as treatment selection. With the advent of newer more efficacious chemotherapeutic and biological agents in the management of metastatic breast cancer, most women with this ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cognition After Breast CancerCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 205-210 - 2014
Haryana M. Dhillon
Diagnosis and adjuvant treatment of women with breast cancer has been associated with cognitive impairments assessed by neuropsychological tests and in self-reported cognitive changes. The mechanisms by which cognitive impairments occur are not well understood, but studies assessing neuropsychological performance, self-report, biomarkers, and imaging are increasing our knowledge of causative mecha...... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast CancerCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 10-21 - 2012
Jennifer Glendenning, Sheeba Irshad, Andrew Tutt
The triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) phenotype, defined as the lack of estrogen and progesterone hormone receptors and the HER2 receptor, represents approximately 15% to 20% of all breast cancer cases. Challenges faced in management of these patients arise from the heterogeneity of TNBC and the absence of well-defined molecular targets. Subgroups derive significant benefit from cytotoxics howe...... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Capecitabine in Early Stage Breast CancerCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 22-29 - 2012
Carlos H. Barrios
Adjuvant systemic therapy is partly responsible for the decrease in breast cancer mortality we have seen over the past two decades. Hormonal therapy and combination chemotherapy based on anthracyclines and taxanes represent the best current approach for early breast cancer patients. Primary as well as secondary development of resistance represents the major challenges to improve our results. Major...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of Systemic Therapy on Fertility in Women with Early-Stage Breast CancerCurrent Breast Cancer Reports - Tập 16 - Trang 61-68 - 2024
Kelsey H. Natsuhara, A. Jo Chien
Fertility concerns are common among young women diagnosed with breast cancer, as systemic therapy increases the risk of premature ovarian insufficiency and delays family planning. Here, we review the impact of systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, HER-2 directed therapy, PARP inhibitors, and immunotherapy, on ovarian reserve. With an improved understanding of disease biolo...... hiện toàn bộ
