Background And Objective: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) significantly enhance progression-free survival and overall survival in patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, they are highly expensive, and their economic impact has not been fully evaluated. This is a retrospective secondary analysis evaluating the cost effectiveness of these drugs, differentiating between medication-related and non-medication costs from a healthcare perspective.

In hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancers, a growing number of revolutionary personalized therapies are in clinical use or trials, such as CDK4/6 inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and PIK3CA inhibitors. Those treatment options are largely driven by the presence or absence of genomic alterations in the tumor. Therefore, molecular profiling is often performed during disease progression.

Neutropenia is a common chemotherapy-induced symptom that can lead to febrile neutropenia (FN) and infection. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of neutropenia, FN, documented infection with neutropenia and fever associated with early-stage breast cancer (BC) in a real-life setting. This retrospective study includes 88 women with early-stage BC who received a first dose of epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide with or without 5-fluorouracil.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, comprising various cells like neurons and glial cells, such as schwann and satellite cells. The PNS is increasingly recognized for its bidirectional interactions with tumors, exhibiting both pro- and anti-tumor effects. Our review delves into the complex mechanisms underlying these interactions, highlighting recent findings that challenge the conventional understanding of PNS's role in tumorigenesis.

Background: Globally, Breast Cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer in women and has a major negative impact on the physical and emotional well-being of its patients as well as one of the most common cancers to be diagnosed. Numerous studies have been published to identify various molecular pathways, including PI3K/AKT/PTEN. Moreover, growing evidence suggests that miRNAs have been found to play a vital role in the growth and carcinogenesis of tumors.
