Objective: To investigate the effect of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor AG490 on invasion and metastasis of the human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231, and to explore the regulating role of JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway when the breast cancer occurs to the invasiveness and metastasis.

Methods: The human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 was used as the research object, and AG490 was as Janus kinase inhibitor. The adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cell attaching to matrigel was measured with MTT assay. The invasion and metastasis potential were evaluated with transwell chamber. The P-STAT3 protein in cell was detected by Western-blot.

Results: Janus kinase inhibitor AG490 could make that the expression of P-STAT3 in human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 became weak, and that the abilities of adhesion, invasion and metastasis were also dropping down as compared with the control group (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway participates in regulating the invasion and metastasis of human breast cancer. Inhibiting the activation of JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway can suppress the invasion and metastasis of human breast cancer.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of compression therapy combined with exercise for cancer patients (EXCAP) in patients with peripheral neuropathy caused by breast cancer chemotherapy.

Methods: Overall, 108 patients with peripheral neuropathy after chemotherapy for breast cancer were randomly divided into the control group (routine nursing), experimental group 1 (compression therapy), and experimental group 2 (compression therapy and EXCAP). The National Institute of Cancer Drug Toxicity Rating Scale and the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool were assessed and compared between groups.

Purpose: Over 50% of households in the United States have at least one musician-many musicians are also breast cancer survivors. This group has not been well studied, and given the level of fine sensory-motor skill required for musicianship, we hypothesized that musicians experience unique manifestations of breast cancer treatment toxicities.

Methods: A nine-item Musical Toxicity Questionnaire (MTQ) was distributed to patients who had consented to participate in the Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Registry.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a water-soluble green substance that is detectable through infrared cameras and emits greenish light. Approved for medical use in the 1950s, ICG has gained prominence as a real-time visualization tool. Widely recognized as a generally safe substance, ICG is applied in diverse fields.
