AI Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the most prevalent tumor among women in Italy, with around 40,000 new cases annually.
- The impact of breast cancer treatment, including psychological effects and social/economic challenges, is gaining more attention, especially since 30% of women still need radical surgeries despite screening efforts.
- The focus is shifting towards balancing effective cancer treatment with preserving the aesthetics of the breast to address femininity and emotional well-being.
Article Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common tumour in Italy in the female population, counting for about 40000 new cases every year. The psychological aspects of breast mutilation and the social and economic implications are receiving increasing attention. Despite of the diffusion of screening programs to detect pre-clinical breast cancers, 30% of patients still undergo radical interventions. Therefore, many women present serious limitations of their social-life that can lead to severe depression since, in occidental countries, the biological function of the breast is less considered than its primary role of femininity and sexuality. The gold-standard is to conceal oncological radicality and aesthetic preservation. The Authors present their experience analysing the techniques employed.

Surrogate End Points for Overall Survival in Neoadjuvant Randomized Clinical Trials for Early Breast Cancer.
J Clin Oncol
January 2025
German Breast Group, Neu-Isenburg, Germany.
Purpose: To assess trial-level surrogacy value for overall survival (OS) of the pathologic complete response (pCR) and invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for early breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Individual patient data of neoadjuvant RCTs with available data on pCR, iDFS, and OS were included in the analysis. We used the coefficient of determination from weighted linear regression models to quantify the association between treatment effects on OS and on the surrogate end points.
An untargeted metabolomic analysis of acute AFB1 treatment in liver, breast, and lung cells.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a class 1 carcinogen and mycotoxin known to contribute to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), growth impairment, altered immune system modulation, and malnutrition. AFB1 is synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and is known to widely contaminate foodstuffs, particularly maize, wheat, and groundnuts. The mechanism in which AFB1 causes genetic mutations has been well studied, however its metabolomic effects remained largely unknown.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA, United States.
Background: Cancer patients have up to a 3-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. Traditional CVD risk scores may be less accurate for them. We aimed to develop cancer-specific CVD risk scores and compare them with conventional scores in predicting 10-year CVD risk for patients with breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), or lung cancer (LC).

Herein, fluorescent calcium carbonate nanoclusters encapsulated with methotrexate (Mtx) and surface functionalized with chitosan (25 nm) (@Calmat) have been developed for the imaging and treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). These biocompatible, pH-sensitive nanoparticles demonstrate significant potential for targeted therapy and diagnostic applications. The efficacy of nanoparticles (NPs) was evaluated in MDA-MB-231 TNBC cell lines.
