Aim: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy worldwide, necessitating continued research into its molecular mechanisms. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are increasingly recognized for their role in various cancers, including BC. This study explores the role of circRNA kinesin family member 4A (circKIF4A) in BC progression and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

A pan-tumor review of the role of poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase inhibitors.

Division of Medical Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, such as olaparib, talazoparib, rucaparib, and niraparib, comprise a therapeutic class that targets PARP proteins involved in DNA repair. Cancer cells with homologous recombination repair defects, particularly BRCA alterations, display enhanced sensitivity to these agents because of synthetic lethality induced by PARP inhibitors. These agents have significantly improved survival outcomes across various malignancies, initially gaining regulatory approval in ovarian cancer and subsequently in breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers in different indications.

Background: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer, with an etiology and progression that are not fully understood. Research suggests a link between cathepsins and PTC, but the causal nature of this link is unclear. This study uses Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate if cathepsins causally influence PTC risk.

Breast cancer remains the second most prevalent cancer among women in the United States. Despite advancements in surgical, radiological, and chemotherapeutic techniques, multidrug resistance continues to pose significant challenges in effective treatment. Combination chemotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to address these limitations, allowing multiple drugs to target malignancies via distinct mechanisms of action.
