A Novel CDK4/6 and PARP Dual Inhibitor ZC-22 Effectively Suppresses Tumor Growth and Improves the Response to Cisplatin Treatment in Breast and Ovarian Cancer - PubMed

A Novel CDK4/6 and PARP Dual Inhibitor ZC-22 Effectively Suppresses Tumor Growth and Improves the Response to Cisplatin Treatment in Breast and Ovarian Cancer - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35270034/

In recent years, three PARP inhibitors and three CDK4/6 inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer and advanced ER-positive breast cancer, respectively. However,...


Conclusion/Relevance: Altogether, our study has demonstrated the potency of a novel CDK4/6 and PARP dual inhibitor, which can potentially be developed into a monotherapy or combinatorial therapy with cisplatin for breast and ovarian cancer patients with HR proficiency.

    Interesting pre-clinical findings! [~Albert--Dekker--aldekker@ ] this is certainly something being examined (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7473501 for a somewhat recent overview of pre-clinical and emerging data). Will be interesting to see how this Show More

Clinical factors and association with treatment modalities in patients with breast cancer and brain metastases who develop leptomeningeal metastases - Breast Cancer Research and Treatment

Clinical factors and association with treatment modalities in patients with breast cancer and brain metastases who develop leptomeningeal metastases - Breast Cancer Research and Treatment

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10549-022-06595-3

Purpose Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are an aggressive complication of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with brain metastases (BM), with a short survival of weeks to months. Studies suggest that surgical resection...


Conclusion: Among MBC patients with BM, infratentorial BM and visceral liver lesions increase the risk of LM, whereas local treatment modalities such as surgery and radiation do not. These data imply that local treatment strategy should not differ based on potential risk for LM.

Thromboembolic Events in Patients with HER2-Negative, Hormone Receptor-Positive, Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated with Ribociclib Combined with Letrozole or Fulvestrant: A Real-World Data - PubMed

Thromboembolic Events in Patients with HER2-Negative, Hormone Receptor-Positive, Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated with Ribociclib Combined with Letrozole or Fulvestrant: A Real-World Data - PubMed

1 Department of Internal Medicine, King Hussein Cancer Center, Amman, Jordan. 2 Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. 3 Department of Internal Medicine,...


Conclusion: In real-world settings, breast cancer patients treated with ribociclib, combined with aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant, may not be at higher risk for thromboembolic events. However, unusual sites of thrombosis, like CVST, may raise some concerns.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensors for detection of oncomiRs in breast cancer

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensors for detection of oncomiRs in breast cancer

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359644622001635?via=ihub

Available online 20 April 2022 * SERS-biosensors offer sensitive detection of circulating cancer biomarkers. * They encompass benefits of specificity, stability, and easy-to-use methods. * Various SERS strategies for BC...



Conclusion/Relevance: In this review, we provide a comprehensive understanding of different SERS-based biosensors and their application to identify BC-specific oncomiRs. We also discuss different SERS-based sensing strategies, nano-analytical frameworks, and challenges to be addressed for effective clinical translation.
