Article Synopsis
- Distant recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a rare and challenging condition to detect during follow-up.
- A 73-year-old woman with a history of bladder cancer developed tumors in her axilla, lungs, lymph nodes, and adrenal glands, initially misdiagnosed as metastatic breast cancer.
- The diagnosis was corrected to metastatic urothelial carcinoma after a biopsy, emphasizing the need to consider bladder cancer as a potential source of distant metastases even when there's no sign of recurrence in the urinary tract.
This rapid communication highlights the correlation between protein kinase B alpha (AKT1)-phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA)- phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) alterations and clinicopathological factors in Japanese patients with metastatic recurrent breast cancer (mBC). This study analyzed 1967 patients with luminal-type breast cancer who underwent cancer gene panel testing. The results demonstrated that AKT pathway alterations, including PI3K/AKT/PTEN, occurred in 1038 (52.

- A multicenter phase III trial is being conducted to evaluate a dexamethasone-based mouthwash for preventing chemotherapy-induced stomatitis in early breast cancer patients.
- The study will involve 230 patients, randomly assigned to either the dexamethasone mouthwash group or a control group using tap water as mouthwash.
- The main goal is to measure the effectiveness of the mouthwash in reducing the incidence of stomatitis, tracked through electronic patient-reported outcomes.
Background: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare inherited connective tissue disease characterized by hyperextensibility of the skin and joints and tissue fragility of the skin and blood vessels, Vascular EDS is the most severe form of EDS, with abnormal arterial fragility. There have been no reports of breast cancer occurring in patients with vascular EDS. Here, we report here a very rare case of breast cancer in a patient with vascular EDS.
