Article Synopsis
- Residual microcalcifications on mammograms after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) complicate surgical decisions in breast cancer treatment.
- A study assessed the link between these microcalcifications and pathological complete response (pCR), finding no significant relationship (p = 0.763).
- Additionally, the impact of residual microcalcifications on recurrence and overall survival was determined to be non-significant, suggesting their predictive and prognostic value is still uncertain and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Human cytochrome P450 2C8 is a highly polymorphic gene and shows variation according to ethnicity. The CYP2C8*2 is a slow drug metabolism allele and shows 10-24% frequency in Black populations. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of CYP2C8*2 allele in Botswana among the San (or Bushmen) and the Bantu ethnic groups.
