Real-world data of HER2-negative early breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline and/or taxane regimens in Japan
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately half the patients in both the luminal-type and triple-negative groups were prescribed anthracycline and/or taxane for perioperative chemotherapy. The choice was associated with patient age, cancer stage, and the scale and specialization of the treatment facilities. This study sheds light on the current state of breast cancer treatment practices in Japan.PMID:38679657 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-024-01572-8 (Source: Breast Cancer)

Adverse effects of tamoxifen treatment on bone mineral density in premenopausal patients with breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis demonstrated that adjuvant tamoxifen therapy in premenopausal patients caused bone loss after 3 years of follow-up, especially at the lumbar spines. For a definite evaluation of the adverse effects of tamoxifen on bone, it is necessary to accumulate more relevant studies.PMID:38671211 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-024-01586-2 (Source: Breast Cancer)

Perspectives for the clinical application of ctDNA analysis to breast cancer drug therapy
Breast Cancer. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1007/s12282-024-01571-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCirculating tumor DNA (ctDNA) consists of DNA fragments released from cancer cells into the blood circulation with quick clearance. Analysis of ctDNA can enable real-time assessment of the presence of cancer cells and their genomic characteristics. Therefore, ctDNA is expected to be one of the most useful biomarkers for cancer. In recent years, several ultra-sensitive assays for ctDNA analysis have been developed, and many clinical trials are using these assays to investigate the efficacy of ctDNA-based therapeutic strategies. In the...

Concordance of HER2 status between core needle biopsy and surgical resection specimens of breast cancer: an analysis focusing on the HER2-low status
CONCLUSIONS: Incorporation of HER2-low category in HER2 status interpretation reduces the concordance rate between CNB and surgical resection specimens. Tumor multiplicity and ER positivity are predictive factors for conversion from HER2-zero to HER2-low status. Therefore, HER2 status should be re-evaluated in resection specimens when considering ADCs in tumors exhibiting multiplicity and ER positivity.PMID:38643429 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-024-01585-3 (Source: Breast Cancer)

French national survey on breast cancer care: caregiver and patient views
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides an updated analysis of breast cancer care pathways in France. Overall, the initial processes of diagnosis, announcement, and treatment were swift and were in agreement with the best care standards. No barriers to accessing care were identified. Based on the study findings, we proposed several strategies to improve the quality of care for patients in supportive care, coordination with primary care physicians, reconstructive surgery, and fertility preservation access.PMID:38635135 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-024-01576-4 (Source: Breast Cancer)
