Background: Inflammation could be related to cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and might be used as a predictive marker of long-term CRCI. We evaluated associations between inflammatory markers assessed at diagnosis of breast cancer and CRCI two years afterwards.
Methods: Newly diagnosed stage I-III patients with breast cancer from the French CANTO-Cog (Cognitive sub-study of CANTO, NCT01993498) were included at diagnosis (baseline).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety of using taxane-based chemotherapy for breast cancer during pregnancy, focusing on the risks for both mothers and newborns.
- It involved 103 patients, primarily treated with paclitaxel and anthracyclines, with a median taxane initiation at 28 weeks of gestation.
- Results showed a low incidence of severe adverse events, with a high live birth rate and generally favorable obstetric outcomes, supporting the use of taxanes during pregnancy when necessary.
