Outcomes From Real-World Data on Intraoperative Electronic Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Long-Term Recurrence and Survival Outcomes From a Single Center.

This study is aimed at investigating the 10-year outcomes of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in Mexican women with early breast cancer (EBC) treated at the Centro Medico ABC, Mexico City. A cohort study included women with early-stage invasive ductal carcinoma aged ≥ 45 years without prior oncologic treatment, tumor size ≤ 3.5 cm, cN0M0, positive hormone receptors, margins ≥ 2 mm, negative sentinel lymph nodes, and no extensive lymphovascular invasion.

Clinical characteristics of male patients with breast cancer in the Latino population.

Purpose: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer type in Mexico, with male breast cancer accounting for only 1% of all breast cancer cases. A limited number of studies have described the clinical-pathological profiles of males with breast cancer in low- and middle-income countries. This study presents an analysis of patients with breast cancer seen at three different institutions in México.

Establishment of triple-negative breast cancer cells based on BMI: A novel model in the correlation between obesity and breast cancer.

Introduction: Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of biologically aggressive variants in breast cancer. Women with obesity often have tumors diagnosed at later stages of the disease, associated with a poorer prognosis and a different response to treatment. Human cell lines have been derived from specific subtypes of breast cancer and have served to define the cell physiology of corresponding breast cancer subtypes.
