Published: May 2002

The Authors we report the case of a 50 year old woman with accessory breast cancer in the thoracic region. The examination revealed a mass of 1 cm diameter and a tumorectomy showed a ectopic breast with an intraductal carcinoma. Nodal dissection, chemo-, radio- and hormonal therapy there performed. The follow up didn't show a relapse of breast carcinoma after 5 years.

Importance: Approximately one-third of patients with ERBB2 (formerly HER2 or HER2/neu)-positive (ERBB2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) develop brain metastasis. It is unclear whether patients with disease limited to the central nervous system (CNS) have different outcomes and causes of death compared with those with concomitant extracranial metastasis.

Objective: To assess overall survival (OS) and CNS-related mortality among patients with ERBB2+ breast cancer and a diagnosis of CNS disease by disease distribution (CNS only vs CNS plus extracranial metastasis).

Aims: Subareolar sclerosing ductal hyperplasia (SSDH) is a distinct type of complex sclerosing hyperplastic lesion first described by Rosen in 1987. There have been rare studies investigating SSDH; however, no genetic study has been performed to date.

Methods And Results: Seven SSDH cases, diagnosed between 2013 and 2024, were identified.

Background: The risk of recurrence in patients with small, lymph node-negative, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancers untreated with adjuvant chemotherapy/HER2-directed therapy is uncertain. To investigate this, the authors conducted a retrospective, population-based study of chemotherapy use and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) among patients with stage IA HER2-positive breast cancer.

Methods: The authors analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data from patients diagnosed with stage IA HER2-positive breast cancer from 2010 to 2019.

Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a significant role in human breast cancer as a major stromal component. While their role in promoting cancer proliferation and malignancy through interaction with cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment is known, the exact mechanisms behind this interaction are not fully understood.

Results: Our study reveals that lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1), a central transcription factor for Wnt/β-catenin signaling, is expressed in experimentally generated tumor-promoting CAFs (exp-CAFs) as well as in CAFs from breast cancer patients, particularly those with a poor prognosis.

Circular RNA (CircRNA)s, a newly discovered type of noncoding RNAs, have been found to play a role in controlling the development and aggressiveness of tumors. Abnormal control of circRNA has been observed in various types of human cancers, including bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer, and gastric cancer (GC). CircRNAs possess binding sites for microRNAs (miRNAs) and function as miRNA sponges in posttranscriptional regulation.
