[Effect of electroacupuncture at different acupoints on follicle development and related factors in serum and ovary tissues of PCOS rats].

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at different acupoints on follicle development, expression of gonadotropins and their receptors and anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH), inhibin B(INHB) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of PCOS. METHODS: Sixty female SD rats were randomized into six groups: control, model, Zusanli(ST36), Sanyinjiao(SP6), Guanyuan(CV4) and combination (ST36+SP6+CV4, n=10 rats/group). The PCOS model was established by gavage of Letrozole solution (1.0 mg/kg) once daily for 21 consecutive days. R…

Dalpiciclib combined with pyrotinib and endocrine therapy in women with ER-positive, HER2-positive advanced breast cancer: A prospective, multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 trial.

Hormonal Maintenance Therapy for Women With Low-Grade Serous Cancer of the Ovary or Peritoneum.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine outcomes associated with hormonal maintenance therapy (HMT) compared with routine observation (OBS) after primary cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy in women with stage II to IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum. Patients and Methods Eligibility criteria for patients from our database were: treatment with primary surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy, stage II to IV disease, at least 2 years of follow-up for patients who had not experienced recurrence, and adequate clinical information. The two gr

Acute effects of tamoxifen and third-generation aromatase inhibitors on menopausal symptoms of breast cancer patients.

Endocrine treatments of breast cancer patients antagonize estrogen and may lead to consequences of estrogen deprivation including menopausal symptoms. We analyzed the changes in frequency and severity of menopausal symptoms in patients receiving tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors and identified factors influencing these symptoms. One hundred and eighty-one consecutive postmenopausal breast cancer patients scheduled to start endocrine treatment were included in this prospective study. A menopause symptom questionnaire covering vasomotor, atrophic, psychological, cognitive and somatic symptoms wa

Oral anti-oestrogens and medical adjuncts for subfertility associated with anovulation.

BACKGROUND: Infertility due to anovulation is a common problem in women. The first line oral treatment is with anti-oestrogens, such as clom … en compared to clomiphene alone (fixed OR 3.3, 95% CI 0.1 to 91.6). The comparison between two AIs (letrozole and anastrozole) did not find any evidence of a difference in effect on pregnancy rate (fixed OR 1.9, 95% CI 0.4 to 8.9). For the intervention of clomiphene plus ketoconazole vs clomiphene no evidence of a difference in effect for pregnancy rate was …

Unusual long-lasting cutaneous complete response to lapatinib and capecitabine in a heavily pretreated HER2-positive plurimetastatic breast cancer patient.

Lapatinib, in combination with capecitabine, has shown clinical activity in both first-line and refractory disease in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer. Herein we describe the case of a plurimetastatic, heavily pretreated, HER2-positive breast cancer patient who experienced multiple cutaneous metastases successfully treated with lapatinib and capecitabine. An early complete response was obtained on all skin lesions, and no evidence of disease progression at other metastatic sites was observed for 22 months. The treatment was well tolerated, without dose-reductions or delays. I

18F-FDG PET/CT in the Staging and Management of Breast Cancer: Value in Disease Outcome and Planning Therapy.

In hormone receptor-positive locally advanced breast cancer, endocrine therapy becomes an integral part of the therapeutic strategy. There are now significant numbers of available hormonal directed compounds, including selective aromatase and mTOR inhibitors, which allow an important therapeutic advance in these patients. Sequential F-FDG PET/CT studies provided essential information regarding response to different treatments, including targeted therapies, and adverse therapeutic effects that helped to better define the right moment to implement each therapeutic approach.

Endometriosis: in search of optimal treatment.

Endometriosis is an enigmatic, debilitating disease which affects as many as 15% of all women of reproductive age and is characterized by pelvic pain and infertility. Current treatment regimes used to manage the disease do so by inducing a hypoestrogenic state. While the absence of circulating estrogen levels lead to a regression of the disease, this hypoestrogenism also induces many unpleasant and unwanted side-effects. As such, these and other shortcomings of current drug therapies emphasize their limitations and the necessity for the development of novel endometriosis treatments. In this re

Switch to fulvestrant and palbociclib versus no switch in advanced breast cancer with rising ESR1 mutation during aromatase inhibitor and palbociclib therapy (PADA-1): a randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase 3 trial.

Optimized personalized management approach for moderate/severe OHSS: development and prospective validation of an OHSS risk assessment index.

STUDY QUESTION: Can a simplified ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) risk assessment index be developed and validated with sufficient d … Another weakness of the study is that several preventive treatments, for instance oral aspirin and letrozole, were not recorded and evaluated in the model. Despite the robust reliability of OHSS assessment index, this tool cannot be used directly for clinical decision-making or as a diagnostic tool. Its value lies in its capacity to evaluate the prognosis …

Palbociclib use with grade 3 neutropenia in hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Neutropenia is the most common toxicity of CDK4/6 inhibitors, causing frequent dose interruptions. However, CDK4/6 inhibitor-induced neutropenia shows a benign clinical course in contrast to that caused by chemotherapy. Here, we investigated the safety of a new dose scheme for palbociclib, which avoids dose delays or reductions due to afebrile grade 3 neutropenia. METHODS: A consecutive cohort of ER( +)/HER2( -) advanced breast cancer patients who received palbociclib between 2017 and 2018 was analyzed. The patients were classified into Group 1 (patients who maintained palbociclib do

A Real-World Evidence Primer for Advanced Practice Providers: Integrating P-Reality X Into Shared Decision-Making for People With HR+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer.

Advanced practice providers in oncology are now likely to encounter real-world data (RWD) studies in addition to data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in their practice. Real-world evidence derived from RWD can provide important information about a therapeutic agent's effectiveness outside of the confines of RCTs. It is important to understand how these studies are conducted and how data from these two types of studies can be interpreted and integrated for practical clinical use and shared decision-making. The goal of this manuscript is to provide an overview of the fundamental aspects

Monitoring concentration and lipid signature of plasma extracellular vesicles from HR+ metastatic breast cancer patients under CDK4/6 inhibitors treatment.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived small membrane structures that transport various molecules. They have emerged as potential circulating biomarkers for monitoring responses to cancer therapies. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize plasma-carried EVs in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients treated with first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors (iCDK4/6) combined with endocrine therapy. MBC patients were classified into three groups based on their response to therapy: resistant, intermediate or sensitive. In a prospective cohort, we monitored the con
