Article Synopsis
- A study examined the link between perioperative β-blockade (use of beta-blockers) and the recurrence/metastasis of breast cancer in over 1,000 surgical patients.
- Research found that stage II patients using β-blockers had a lower risk of cancer recurrence, with a significant hazard ratio indicating a protective effect.
- The study also revealed that triple-negative brain-metastatic breast cancer cells have heightened β2-adrenergic receptors which, when activated, lead to increased cell growth and movement, effects that were countered by β-blockers like propranolol, suggesting they may help prevent metastasis.
