- - The high mortality rate in breast cancer patients is often linked to metastases that resist systemic therapies, with circulating miRNAs-221 and miR-222 identified as key factors in this resistance by promoting cancer cell growth and survival.
- - A study involving luminal subtype breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen found that miR-221 levels significantly differed between patients with local recurrence and those without, indicating its potential role in predicting tamoxifen resistance.
- - The findings suggest that measuring circulating miR-221/222 could help identify breast cancer patients at risk for treatment failure with tamoxifen, enabling earlier intervention and more effective treatment strategies.
Chronic granulomatous mastitis is known as a benign and relatively rare disorder that is often difficult to differentiate from breast carcinoma. We highlight the case of a 34-year-old woman who had recurrent episodes of right breast swelling and abscess for 8 years. These were proven to be chronic granulomatous mastitis by tissue biopsies on 3 different occasions.
