We report two cases of primary advanced breast cancer that was locally controlled by using Mohs'paste. CASE 1: A 70- year-old woman was suffering massive exudates and offensive smell from her right giant breast tumor. Histopathological examination showed an invasive ductal carcinoma. However, she didn't have distant metastases. The patient received chemotherapy and the breast tumor has been fixed using Mohs'paste, and dissected. The giant tumor became flat and dry, so we could perform a radical operation. Then, she had contra-lateral axillary lymph node metastases. We performed a resection of left axillary lymph node and radiation therapy. After two years, we have not found a new lesion. CASE 2: A 54-year- old woman with right local advanced breast cancer discharged massive exudates and oozed blood. Histopathologically, she had an invasive ductal carcinoma. Moreover, she had lung and contra-lateral axillary lymph node metastases. She received chemotherapy and the breast tumor has been fixed using Mohs'paste, and dissected. The bleeding and exudates stopped almost completely, and the breast tumor became flat and dry. Both patients had experienced a mild pain, but their QOL improved remarkably. It is suggested that the patient with local advanced breast cancer may be controlled by using Mohs' paste.

Background: In a world confronted with new and connected challenges, novel strategies are needed to help children and adults achieve their full potential, to predict, prevent and treat disease, and to achieve equity in services and outcomes. Australia's Generation Victoria (GenV) cohorts are designed for multi-pronged discovery (what could improve outcomes?) and intervention research (what actually works, how much and for whom?). Here, we describe the key features of its protocol.

In this study, we identified cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) molecular subtypes and developed a CAF-based prognostic model for breast cancer (BRCA). The heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and their significant involvement in the advancement of BRCA were discovered employing single-cell RNA sequencing. Notably, we discovered that the RUNX1/SDC1 axis enhances BRCA cell invasion and metastasis.

Purpose Of Review: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a critical target in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This review highlights the current treatment landscape, lessons learned from past clinical trials, and prospects for future treatment strategies for HER2-positive AGC.
Recent Findings: Trastuzumab had been the standard treatment for HER2-positive AGC for a decade, and subsequently, trastuzumab deruxtecan, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), emerged with an impressive response.

Genome-wide association studies have identified approximately 200 genetic risk loci for breast cancer, but the causal variants and target genes are mostly unknown. We sought to fine-map all known breast cancer risk loci using genome-wide association study data from 172,737 female breast cancer cases and 242,009 controls of African, Asian and European ancestry. We identified 332 independent association signals for breast cancer risk, including 131 signals not reported previously, and for 50 of them, we narrowed the credible causal variants down to a single variant.

To shed light on the significance of thiazole derivatives in the advancement of cancer medication and to contribute to therapeutic innovation, we have designed the synthesis and antiproliferative activity investigation of 5-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-7-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-thioxo-3,7-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d] thiazole-6-carbonitrile, the structure of thiazole derivative was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques UV, IR and NMR. The cytotoxic activity (in vitro) of the new hybrid synthesized compound on five human cancer cell lines; human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and epithelioid carcinoma (Hela), and a normal human lung fibroblast (WI-38) was studied using MTT assay. The compound exhibited a strong cytotoxicity effect against HepG-2 and MCF-7.
