- Breast cancer survivors experience unique challenges when making decisions about breastfeeding, with limited research on their experiences.
- The study revealed that young women often prioritize other aspects of their cancer journey over breastfeeding, influenced by factors like the effects of treatment and support gaps from healthcare providers.
- To improve care, it's crucial for healthcare professionals to address breastfeeding in oncological discussions, involve lactation consultants familiar with oncology, and create peer support programs that empower survivors.

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis. It is known that the activation of STAT3 signaling pathways promotes the development and progression of this neoplasia and it has been described the role of PTPRT as a negative regulator of STAT3. Then, we have evaluated the impact of them as biomarkers of outcome in a series of patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN treated with weekly paclitaxel-plus-cetuximab (ERBITAX) regimen.
