Purpose

To determine the accuracy of radioisotope, blue dye and implanted fiducial marker for identification of the histopathologically positive percutaneous/previously biopsied lymph node (PBLN) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Detection of the PBLN is critical for monitoring disease response and guiding subsequent treatment decisions. However, conventional sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) techniques have shown unacceptable false negative rates. Recommendations for improvement suggest using dual tracers, removing more lymph nodes and implantable markers in the PBLN. This study evaluated the accuracy of PBLN identification using each of the 3 most common localization techniques: blue dye (lymphazurin), radioisotope (Technetium-99m sulfur colloid), and implanted fiducial marker (SAVI SCOUT).

Methods

Patients with PBLN marked with a SAVI SCOUT, with or without a metallic clip, and who received NAC were identified from our breast cancer surgery database. The accuracy of the 3 localizing techniques was evaluated. Secondary outcomes included total number of lymph nodes retrieved and number of sampling events per patient for each technique.

Results

We identified 65 patients who underwent percutaneous lymph node biopsy prior to NAC. The clip marking the PBLN was identified in 64 patients (98%). The PBLN was identified by the SAVI SCOUT in 61 (95%) of 64 patients, radioisotope in 44 (71%) of 62 patients and blue dye in 28 (64%) of 44 patients. A SAVI SCOUT was placed at the time of biopsy instead of a clip in 13 patients and identification of the PBLN was 100% for those patients. The mean number of lymph nodes removed with the SAVI SCOUT was 2.7, with radioisotope was 4.3 and with blue dye was 3.6 (P = .004). The mean number of SLN sampling events with the SAVI SCOUT was 1, with radioisotope was 2.0 (range: 0-6) and with blue dye was 1.8 (range: 0-5) (P < .005). When radioisotope was used, the clip was found in the hottest lymph node 40% of the time, in the second and third hottest lymph node 5% and 11% of the time, respectively. The clipped node was not hot in 29% of cases.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that the most accurate method for identifying the PBLN is with placement of a fiducial marker. Furthermore, the addition of radioisotope and blue dye may result in an excessive number of lymph nodes removed and more retrieval events during SLNB following NAC. Placement of the SAVI SCOUT marker at the time of percutaneous lymph node biopsy may subsequently obviate the need for additional mapping techniques of blue dye and radioisotope during sentinel lymph node surgery.
目的探讨放射性同位素、蓝色染料和植入式基准标志物在新辅助化疗(NAC)后经皮/活检组织阳性淋巴结(PBLN)鉴别中的准确性。PBLN的检测对于监测疾病反应和指导后续治疗决策至关重要。然而,传统的前哨淋巴结活检(SLNB)技术显示出不可接受的假阴性率。改善的建议是使用双示踪剂,切除更多淋巴结和植入PBLN标记物。本研究使用3种最常见的定位技术:蓝色染料(淋巴管蛋白)、放射性同位素(锝-99m硫胶体)和植入式基准标记(SAVI SCOUT)来评估PBLN鉴定的准确性。方法从我们的乳腺癌手术数据库中识别带有SAVI SCOUT标记的PBLN,有或没有金属夹,并接受NAC的患者。对3种定位技术的精度进行了评价。次要结果包括每项技术中每个患者的淋巴结总数和采样事件数。结果我们确定了65例在NAC前接受经皮淋巴结活检的患者。64例(98%)患者发现PBLN标记夹。64例患者中61例(95%)经SAVI SCOUT鉴定为PBLN, 62例患者中44例(71%)为放射性同位素,44例患者中28例(64%)为蓝色染料。在13例患者中,在活检时放置SAVI SCOUT而不是夹子,这些患者的PBLN识别率为100%。SAVI SCOUT平均切除淋巴结数为2.7个,放射性同位素组为4.3个,蓝色染料组为3.6个(P = 0.004)。使用SAVI SCOUT进行SLN采样的平均次数为1次,放射性同位素为2.0次(范围:0-6),蓝色染料为1.8次(范围:0-5)(P < 0.005)。当使用放射性同位素时,在最热的淋巴结中发现夹子的几率为40%,在第二和第三最热的淋巴结中发现夹子的几率分别为5%和11%。在29%的病例中,被夹的淋巴结不热。结论本研究表明,确定PBLN最准确的方法是放置基准标记。此外,放射性同位素和蓝色染料的加入可能导致NAC后SLNB切除的淋巴结数量过多和更多的恢复事件。在经皮淋巴结活检时放置SAVI SCOUT标记物,可能随后在前哨淋巴结手术中不需要额外的蓝色染料和放射性同位素作图技术。

HR +/HER2 + breast cancer (BC) represents a unique clinical entity distinct from HR−/HER2 + BC, with specific molecular characteristics and resistance mechanisms. The interaction between estrogen receptor (ER) and HER2 signaling pathways promotes tumor growth and therapeutic resistance, highlighting the need for tailored approaches. This review focuses on the clinical and molecular features of HR + /HER2 + metastatic BC, with an emphasis on recent data exploring the integration of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) into anti-HER2 therapeutic strategies. Key findings from metastatic trials are summarized. HR + /HER2 + metastatic BC is characterized by a predominance of luminal molecular subtypes, associated with distinct patterns of metastatic spread and prolonged progression-free survival compared to nonluminal subtypes. Despite the efficacy of dual HER2 blockade, resistance remains a challenge, driven by crosstalk between ER and HER2 pathways. CDK4/6i disrupt the cell cycle at the G1/S checkpoint and have shown promise in overcoming resistance, inducing sustained senescence, and improving outcomes in luminal subtypes. Recent trials suggest that CDK4/6i may play a key role in maintenance therapy and chemotherapy-free regimens for selected patients with HR + /HER2 + metastatic BC. The integration of CDK4/6 inhibitors into anti-HER2 treatment strategies represents a promising approach to address the unique biology of HR + /HER2 + BC. Molecular profiling and personalized treatment strategies are essential to optimize patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary toxicity.
HR +/HER2 +乳腺癌(BC)是一种不同于HR - /HER2 +乳腺癌的独特临床实体,具有特定的分子特征和耐药机制。雌激素受体(ER)和HER2信号通路之间的相互作用促进肿瘤生长和治疗耐药性,强调需要量身定制的方法。本文综述了HR + /HER2 +转移性BC的临床和分子特征,重点介绍了CDK4/6抑制剂(CDK4/6i)整合到抗HER2治疗策略中的最新数据。总结了转移性试验的主要发现。HR + /HER2 +转移性BC以腔内分子亚型为主,与非腔内亚型相比,具有明显的转移扩散模式和延长的无进展生存期。尽管双重HER2阻断有效,但由于ER和HER2通路之间的串扰,耐药性仍然是一个挑战。CDK4/6i在G1/S检查点破坏细胞周期,并在克服耐药、诱导持续衰老和改善管腔亚型预后方面显示出希望。最近的试验表明,CDK4/6i可能在HR + /HER2 +转移性BC患者的维持治疗和无化疗方案中发挥关键作用。将CDK4/6抑制剂整合到抗HER2治疗策略中代表了一种解决HR + /HER2 + BC独特生物学问题的有希望的方法。分子谱分析和个性化治疗策略对于优化患者预后和减少不必要的毒性至关重要。

目的:低进行性晚期乳腺癌(aBC)正成为一种越来越常见的情况,通过有针对性的局部干预可以显著改善预后。然而,证据仍然缺乏。在这项研究中,我们旨在评估进展导向放射治疗(PDRT)在治疗少进展性aBC中的作用。材料和方法:我们对2018年1月至2024年12月期间连续接受进展导向放射治疗(PDRT)的少进展性aBC患者进行了单机构回顾性分析。少进展被定义为在至少一种全身治疗后,出现多达5个进展性病变,最多3个不同的器官。主要终点是无事件生存期(EFS),定义为从PDRT完成到以下其中一项的时间间隔:全身治疗的改变[也称为下一次治疗的时间(TNT)],进展< 6个月,或≥3个新发或进展性病变,死亡或最后一次随访。次要终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)。结果:我们分析了56例患者,中位随访时间为17个月[四分位间距(IQR): 8-27]。PDRT的中位年龄为58岁(IQR: 49-68)。在PDRT之前,28例患者(50%)只接受了1线治疗,12例(21.4%)接受了2线治疗,16例(28.6%)接受了3线或更多治疗。在发生少进展之前,在对全身治疗的反应中,31例患者(55.4%)在所有疾病部位达到稳定,9例患者(16.0%)达到部分缓解,16例患者(28.6%)达到完全缓解。39例(69.6%)患者在PDRT后发生事件,中位无事件生存期(EFS)为7个月(IQR: 3-15)。1年和2年精算EFS发生率分别为39% (95% CI, 33.1%-45.9%)和24% (95% CI, 17.2%-30.8%)。在这39例患者中,33例(84.6%)在PDRT后开始了新的全身治疗,中位TNT为8个月(IQR 4-17), 1年精算率为46.6%。在多因素分析中,HER2阳性和Luminal A亚型被证实为EFS升高的显著预测因素(调整HR = 0.31, P = 0.01; aHR = 0.27, P = 0.01)。此外,在单变量分析中,淋巴结PDRT似乎与保护作用有关(P = 0.04);然而,这种关联在多变量分析中没有保留。中位PFS为7个月(IQR: 3-12), 41例(73.2%)患者出现疾病进展,中位OS为17个月(IQR: 8-27)。多因素分析证实小叶组织学是一个独立的不良预后因素(HR = 9.05, P = 0.006)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,PDRT可能会延迟事件的发生,并需要在选定的患者中改变全身治疗。这种益处在HER2阳性或管腔aBC以及淋巴结进展的病例中更为突出。未来的研究应侧重于完善选择标准,以确定从PDRT中获益更高的患者。

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) for breast cancer surveillance in patients with dense breast tissue and a personal history of breast cancer.

Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, we reviewed consecutive CEM surveillance examinations performed between April 2022 and April 2025 in asymptomatic patients with a personal history of breast cancer and dense breasts. BI-RADS classifications, lesion characteristics, follow-up imaging, and histopathology were reviewed. Sensitivity, specificity, cancer detection rate (CDR), positive predictive values (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV) were calculated using biopsy or at least 12 months imaging follow-up as reference standards.

Results: A total of 176 patients underwent 376 CEM studies. Of the initial exams, 29.5% of patients (52 of 176) were classified as positive (BI-RADS 3 or 4; no BI-RADS 5 cases), with a CDR of 34 per 1000 exams. Sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 72.9%, respectively, with a PPV 1 of 11.5% and NPV of 100%. Over the study period, 39 biopsies yielded 8 malignancies in 7 patients, corresponding to a PPV3 of 20.5%. Three of the eight CEM-detected cancers (37.5%) were visible only on recombined images. Palpable axillary recurrences in two patients were outside the CEM field of view. One mild contrast reaction was recorded.

Conclusion: Although recall rates were higher than in prior studies, CEM demonstrated high sensitivity and NPV and substantial CDR; all of which were early-stage, node-negative cancers. These findings support broader consideration of CEM in intermediate- to high-risk surveillance settings, particularly where access to MRI is limited.

目的:评价对比增强乳房x线摄影(CEM)对乳腺组织致密且有乳腺癌个人病史的患者的诊断价值。方法:在这项单中心回顾性研究中,我们回顾了2022年4月至2025年4月期间,有乳腺癌和致密乳房病史的无症状患者的连续CEM监测检查。我们回顾了BI-RADS的分类、病变特征、随访影像和组织病理学。以活检或至少12个月的影像学随访为参考标准,计算敏感性、特异性、肿瘤检出率(CDR)、阳性预测值(PPV)和阴性预测值(NPV)。结果:共176例患者接受了376项CEM研究。在最初的检查中,29.5%的患者(176例中的52例)被分类为阳性(BI-RADS 3或4例;没有BI-RADS 5例),CDR为每1000次检查34例。敏感性和特异性分别为100%和72.9%,PPV 1为11.5%,NPV为100%。在研究期间,7例患者的39次活检发现8个恶性肿瘤,PPV3为20.5%。8例cem检测到的癌症中有3例(37.5%)仅在重组图像上可见。两名患者的腋窝复发在CEM视野之外。记录了一次轻度对比反应。结论:虽然召回率高于以往的研究,但CEM具有较高的灵敏度、NPV和可观的CDR;都是早期淋巴结阴性的癌症。这些发现支持在中高风险监测环境中更广泛地考虑CEM,特别是在MRI受限的情况下。

Background: Whether axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) can be safely omitted clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer with limited sentinel lymph (SLN) metastasis remains uncertain, particularly after mastectomy.

Methods: This retrospective cohort included women with T1-T2 cN0 breast cancer and positive SLN between 2015 and 2020. Patents underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone or ALND. Propensity score matching (1:1, nearest neighbor, caliper 0.02 on logit) balanced age, T stage, tumor grade, vascular invasion, number of positive SLNs, ER/PR/HER2, Ki-67, surgery type, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression estimated overall survival (OS) recurrence-free survival (RFS).

Results: Of 1244 patients screened, 1038 were analyzed (577 ALND, 461 SLNB alone; median follow-up 68 months), After matching (283 pairs), 5-year OS was 97.1% (95% CI, 95.0-99.3) for ALND and 96.1% (93.8-98.5) for SLNB alone. Five-year RFS was 96.8% (94.7-99.0) versus 97.0% (94.9-99.0). No statistically significant difference was found in OS (HR, 1.14, 95% CI, 0.51-2.54, P = .75) and RFS (HR, 0.86, 95% CI, 0.36-2.05, P = .74) between the ALND and SLNB alone. Findings were consistent among patients with 1 to 3 positive SLNs, regardless of surgery type. All 22 patients with 4 to 6 positive SLNs underwent ALND, precluding comparison.

Conclusion: In cN0 breast cancer patients with 1 to 3 positive SLNs, omitting ALND did not compromise OS or RFS after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery. These results support broader application of de-escalated axillary surgery while prospective validation for higher nodal burden remains necessary.

背景:临床上淋巴结阴性(cN0)伴有有限前哨淋巴结(SLN)转移的乳腺癌是否可以安全地省略腋窝淋巴结清扫(ALND)仍不确定,特别是在乳房切除术后。方法:该回顾性队列包括2015年至2020年间患有T1-T2 cN0乳腺癌和SLN阳性的女性。患者接受单独前哨淋巴结活检(SLNB)或ALND。倾向评分匹配(1:1,最近邻,卡尺在logit上为0.02)平衡年龄,T分期,肿瘤分级,血管侵犯,阳性sln数量,ER/PR/HER2, Ki-67,手术类型,化疗和放疗。Kaplan-Meier和Cox回归估计总生存期(OS)和无复发生存期(RFS)。结果:在筛选的1244例患者中,分析了1038例(577例ALND, 461例单用SLNB,中位随访68个月),匹配后(283对),ALND的5年OS为97.1% (95% CI, 95.0-99.3),单用SLNB的5年OS为96.1%(93.8-98.5)。5年RFS分别为96.8%(94.7-99.0)和97.0%(94.9-99.0)。在OS (HR, 1.14, 95% CI, 0.51-2.54, P = 0.75)和RFS (HR, 0.86, 95% CI, 0.36-2.05, P = 0.74)方面,ALND与SLNB两组比较无统计学差异。无论手术类型如何,1 - 3例sln阳性患者的结果是一致的。所有22例4 - 6例sln阳性患者均行ALND,排除了比较。结论:在1 ~ 3例sln阳性的cN0乳腺癌患者中,省略ALND并不影响乳房切除术或保乳手术后的OS或RFS。这些结果支持腋窝降压手术的广泛应用,但对于更高淋巴结负担的前瞻性验证仍然是必要的。

Background

Extensive research has explored racial differences in breast cancer survival, particularly between Black and White patients. However, few studies have included comparisons with Asian American and White populations.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the SEER database (2010-2021) for Asian American and White patients with breast cancer. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics including age, stage, molecular subtype, and treatment. Survival analyses included Kaplan–Meier (KM) curves, Cox proportional hazards models, and subgroup analyses. Outcomes were overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS).

Results

This study included 374,930 patients with breast cancer, with 44,092 Asian American patients with breast cancer and 330,838 White patients with breast cancer. After PSM balanced baseline characteristics, Asian American patients with breast cancer showed significantly better OS (HR = 0.78, 95% CI, 0.75-0.81) and BCSS (HR = 0.88, 95% CI, 0.84-0.93) than White patients with breast cancer. Consistent survival advantages were observed across all clinical and demographic subgroups. After adjustment for key prognostic factors including stage, age, and treatment, Asian American patients with breast cancer remained independently associated with significantly improved survival (OS, HR = 0.77; BCSS, HR = 0.86).

Conclusions

Asian American patients with breast cancer demonstrated significantly better survival than White patients with breast cancer after adjusting for multiple factors, with a consistent advantage across subgroups. This suggests intrinsic biological or lifestyle protective factors, warranting further investigation.
广泛的研究探讨了乳腺癌生存的种族差异,特别是黑人和白人患者之间的差异。然而,很少有研究将亚裔美国人和白人进行比较。方法:我们使用来自SEER数据库(2010-2021)的数据,对亚裔美国人和白人乳腺癌患者进行回顾性队列研究。倾向评分匹配(PSM)用于平衡基线特征,包括年龄、分期、分子亚型和治疗。生存分析包括Kaplan-Meier (KM)曲线、Cox比例风险模型和亚组分析。结果是总生存(OS)和乳腺癌特异性生存(BCSS)。结果本研究纳入374,930例乳腺癌患者,其中44,092例亚裔乳腺癌患者和330,838例白人乳腺癌患者。在PSM平衡基线特征后,亚裔美国乳腺癌患者的OS (HR = 0.78, 95% CI, 0.75-0.81)和BCSS (HR = 0.88, 95% CI, 0.84-0.93)明显优于白人乳腺癌患者。在所有临床和人口统计学亚组中观察到一致的生存优势。在调整了包括分期、年龄和治疗在内的关键预后因素后,亚裔美国人乳腺癌患者仍然与显著改善的生存率独立相关(OS, HR = 0.77; BCSS, HR = 0.86)。结论经多种因素调整后,亚裔美国乳腺癌患者的生存率明显高于白人乳腺癌患者,且在亚组间具有一致的优势。这表明内在的生物或生活方式保护因素,值得进一步研究。

Purpose: To assess whether lobular histology independently predicts sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) positivity in early-stage clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer (BC), to identify other predictive factors of SLNB positivity, and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of preoperative axillary imaging. The cumulative incidence of local and distant recurrences were also evaluated.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 661 patients with early-stage, cN0 BC undergoing surgery with SLNB. Clinical, pathological, and radiological data were assessed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of SLNB positivity. The cumulative incidence of axillary and distant recurrences were calculated including only patients with at least 2 years follow up, for a total of 495 patients.

Results: ILC was present in 16.9% of cases. SLNB positivity occurred in 16.1% of invasive lobular cancers (ILC) and 20% of nonspecial type tumors (NST) (P = .3). No significant differences in axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) rates or nodal upstaging were found between histologies. Tumor size > 20 mm and vascular invasion were independent predictors of SLNB positivity. Axillary ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MRI) showed high specificity (95% and 79%) and negative predictive value (80% and 98%) in identifying node-negative patients. No axillary recurrences occurred after a median follow-up of 49.3 months.

Conclusions: ILC does not independently predict SLNB positivity or nodal upstaging. Tumor size and vascular invasion remain the strongest predictors. Axillary ultrasound and MRI are reliable tools to guide de-escalation. SLNB omission in well-selected cN0 patients, including those with ILC, may be considered in tailored and selected patients.

目的:评估小叶组织学是否能独立预测早期临床淋巴结阴性(cN0)乳腺癌前哨淋巴结活检(SLNB)阳性,确定SLNB阳性的其他预测因素,并评价术前腋窝影像学的诊断价值。局部和远处复发的累积发生率也进行了评估。方法:我们回顾性分析了661例接受SLNB手术的早期cN0 BC患者。评估临床、病理和放射学资料。进行单因素和多因素分析以确定SLNB阳性的预测因素。计算腋窝和远处复发的累积发生率,仅包括随访至少2年的患者,共495例患者。结果:16.9%的病例存在ILC。浸润性小叶癌(ILC)和非特殊型肿瘤(NST)的SLNB阳性率分别为16.1%和20% (P = 0.3)。腋窝淋巴结清扫(ALND)率和淋巴结分期差异无统计学意义。肿瘤大小bbb20 mm和血管浸润是SLNB阳性的独立预测因子。腋窝超声和磁共振(MRI)在识别淋巴结阴性患者方面具有高特异性(95%和79%)和阴性预测值(80%和98%)。中位随访49.3个月,无腋窝复发。结论:ILC不能独立预测SLNB阳性或淋巴结抢先。肿瘤大小和血管浸润仍然是最强的预测因子。腋窝超声和MRI是指导降级的可靠工具。在精心挑选的cN0患者中,包括那些患有ILC的患者,可以考虑在精心挑选的患者中遗漏SLNB。

Background: Breast cancer remains a significant health issue, with a persistent annual increase in incidence rates and high mortality. MYC, a critical transcription factor, is often dysregulated in breast cancer, driving tumor progression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in cancer, influencing gene expression through various mechanisms. This study investigates the role of lncRNAs in mediating MYC function and their impact on breast cancer progression.

Methods: We analyzed 1212 breast cancer samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to identify lncRNAs related to MYC targets. The expression levels of lncRNAs were correlated with MYC-TARGET scores to develop a prognostic model. Functional studies were performed on LINC00511, a key lncRNA identified in the model, to elucidate its role in breast cancer progression. RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP), Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Dual-Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay assays were used to validate interactions between LINC00511, MYC, and the target gene VASP (vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein).

Results: MYC-TARGET scores were significantly correlated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. We identified 38 lncRNAs associated with MYC targets, and LINC00511 was selected for further analysis due to its high expression and correlation with poor prognosis. A prognostic model composed of 5 lncRNAs (including LINC00511) was developed, with a risk score that independently predicted patient outcomes . Functional experiments showed that LINC00511 promoted breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Mechanistically, LINC00511 interacted with MYC to upregulate VASP expression. VASP knockdown significantly reduced breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. Overexpression of MYC rescued the inhibitory effects of LINC00511 knockdown on VASP expression and cell invasion/migration.

Conclusions: LINC00511 promotes breast cancer progression by mediating MYC to regulate VASP expression. This study highlights the importance of lncRNAs in cancer transcriptional networks and identifies LINC00511 as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

背景:乳腺癌仍然是一个重大的健康问题,其发病率和死亡率每年都在持续增加。MYC是一种关键的转录因子,在乳腺癌中经常失调,驱动肿瘤进展。长链非编码rna (lncRNAs)已成为癌症的关键调控因子,通过多种机制影响基因表达。本研究探讨了lncrna在介导MYC功能中的作用及其对乳腺癌进展的影响。方法:我们分析了来自癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库的1212例乳腺癌样本,以鉴定与MYC靶点相关的lncrna。lncrna的表达水平与MYC-TARGET评分相关,以建立预后模型。我们对该模型中发现的关键lncRNA LINC00511进行了功能研究,以阐明其在乳腺癌进展中的作用。采用RNA免疫沉淀(RIP)、染色质免疫沉淀(ChIP)和双荧光素酶报告基因测定(Dual-Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay)验证LINC00511、MYC和靶基因VASP(血管扩张剂刺激磷酸化蛋白)之间的相互作用。结果:乳腺癌患者MYC-TARGET评分与预后不良有显著相关性。我们确定了38个与MYC靶点相关的lncrna,由于其高表达和与不良预后相关,我们选择了LINC00511进行进一步分析。建立了一个由5个lncrna(包括LINC00511)组成的预后模型,其风险评分可独立预测患者预后。功能实验表明,LINC00511促进乳腺癌细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭。机制上,LINC00511与MYC相互作用上调VASP的表达。VASP敲低可显著降低乳腺癌细胞的增殖和迁移。MYC过表达恢复了LINC00511敲低对VASP表达和细胞侵袭/迁移的抑制作用。结论:LINC00511通过介导MYC调控VASP表达促进乳腺癌进展。本研究强调了lncrna在癌症转录网络中的重要性,并确定了LINC00511作为乳腺癌的潜在治疗靶点。

Early breast cancer treatment commonly includes highly emetogenic chemotherapy and immunotherapy regimens. Both pregnancy and chemotherapy treatment are associated with nausea and vomiting, and many agents used to treat pregnancy-associated nausea have limited data for CINV. Guidelines recommend a 4-drug antiemetic regimen for highly emetogenic chemotherapy regimens. Designing antiemetic regimens for pregnant women undergoing treatment for early breast cancer remains a challenge because of a lack of safety data for commonly used antiemetics as well as physiologic changes that occur throughout pregnancy This review aims to discuss current literature and guideline recommendations and provide practical considerations for agents used in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting prevention in pregnant patients with breast cancer. A literature search on nausea pathophysiology, treatment of pregnant breast cancer patients, antiemetic use in pregnancy and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting was conducted. Primary and tertiary literature sources were reviewed and cited. An overview of nausea pathophysiology and general treatment principles of treatment and supportive care in pregnant breast cancer patients is outlined. Five major antiemetic drug classes are reviewed in this article. When designing antiemetic regimens for pregnant patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, clinicians must consider the current evidence, including safety, side effects, and pharmacokinetics of various agents, as well as pregnancy trimester and associated physiologic changes.

Background

The present study aims to evaluate the volume of residual axillary nodal disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in breast cancer.

Methods

Predictive factors for low-volume residual axillary nodal disease were analyzed in patients with histologically proven breast cancer (cT1-3 cN0-2) who were treated with NACT and surgery between 2015 and 2019.

Results

A total of 734 patients were analyzed. Breast pathological complete response (pCR) was achieved in 35.1%, with 31.5% showing no residual tumor in the breast or axillary lymph nodes (LNs). Breast and axillary pCR rates varied according to receptor subtype, with the highest rates found in HER2+ and hormone receptor (HR) negative tumors. Among 385 patients presenting with axillary metastases at diagnosis, 41.0% achieved axillary pCR, and 38.4% had 1–3 metastatic LNs. Predictive factors for axillary pCR included cN stage, HR status, ycN status, and breast pCR. For breast pCR patients with cN+ at presentation, the rate of axillary pCR was 81.1%. After NACT, 68.7% of patients with >2 metastatic LNs at diagnosis had 0-3 residual LNs.

Conclusion

We conclude that breast pCR, HER2+, HR negative breast cancer, <3 metastatic axillary LNs at diagnosis, and complete axillary imaging response after NACT were associated with axillary pCR rates and low probability of >3 positive LNs. Similarly, our study showed that axillary pCR in patients with more than 2 metastatic LNs was comparable to that of patients with 1-2 metastatic LNs highlighting an opportunity to tailor axillary surgery in this subgroup.
背景:本研究旨在评估乳腺癌新辅助化疗(NACT)后残留腋窝淋巴结的体积。方法:分析2015年至2019年期间经组织学证实的乳腺癌(cT1-3 cN0-2)接受NACT和手术治疗的小体积残留腋窝淋巴结病的预测因素。结果:共分析734例患者。35.1%的患者达到乳腺病理完全缓解(pCR), 31.5%的患者乳腺或腋窝淋巴结(LNs)无残留肿瘤。乳腺和腋窝的pCR率因受体亚型而异,HER2+和激素受体(HR)阴性肿瘤的pCR率最高。在诊断时出现腋窝转移的385例患者中,41.0%的患者实现了腋窝pCR, 38.4%的患者有1-3个转移灶。腋窝pCR的预测因素包括cN分期、HR状态、ycN状态和乳腺pCR。在出现cN+的乳腺pCR患者中,腋窝pCR的检出率为81.1%。经NACT治疗后,68.7%诊断为bbbb2转移性LNs的患者有0-3个残留LNs。结论:乳腺癌pCR, HER2+, HR阴性乳腺癌,3个阳性LNs。同样,我们的研究表明,2个以上转移性LNs患者的腋窝pCR与1-2个转移性LNs患者的腋窝pCR相当,这表明该亚组有机会进行量身定制的腋窝手术。
