Aim: This study analyzes our single-center, retrospective experience on 63 premenopausal breast cancer patients treated with monthly triptorelin and concomitant chemotherapy.

Patients & Methods: Concomitant chemotherapy and triptorelin were adopted as part of premature ovarian failure prevention strategy.

Results: Age at diagnosis was the main factor influencing fertility preservation (p = 0.002). Compared with patients aged 41-45 years, the probability of menses resumption was almost threefold than for women aged 35-40 years, and significantly higher for women aged <35 years (hazard ratio: 9.0; p = 0.0001). The cumulative proportion among patients who resumed menses was 33.3% at 6 months, 75% at 12 months and 87.5% at 24 months. Seven patients attempted pregnancy, and five (71%) obtained healthy deliveries.

Conclusion: We observed an acceptable rate of fertility preservation. Age at diagnosis influences fertility preservation.

Dual-double stem cell therapy, which integrates mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), represents a cutting-edge approach in regenerative medicine, particularly for conditions such as ovarian decline, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and induced ovarian failure. This therapy leverages the unique properties of MSCs and HSCs, enhancing tissue repair, immune modulation, and overall regenerative outcomes. MSCs, known for their ability to differentiate into various cell types, provide a supportive microenvironment and secrete bioactive molecules that promote angiogenesis and reduce inflammation.

Anti-Adhesive Podocalyxin Expression Is Disrupted in Recurrent Implantation Failure.

Diagnostics (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, IVF-Unit, Acibadem Kayseri Hospital, 38140 Kayseri, Türkiye.

The downregulation of anti-adhesive regulatory proteins and upregulation of adhesive genes are critical for the receptive endometrium. This study was designed to determine whether switching between the anti-adhesive podocalyxin (PDX) and adhesive HOXA10 receptivity modulator occurs in the endometrium of women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Twenty-four patients with RIF who could not conceive for three or more cycles despite good-quality embryo transfer constituted the study group.

Purpose: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor that is essential for the survival and immune sequestration of cancer cells. We conducted a phase 1 study of TTI‑101, a first-in-class, selective small-molecule inhibitor of STAT3, in patients with advanced metastatic cancer.

Patients And Methods: Patients were treated with TTI-101 orally twice daily in 28-day cycles at 4 dose levels (DLs): 3.

Background: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) are commonly used in assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles to prevent a luteinising hormone (LH) surge during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) prior to planned oocyte retrieval, thus optimising the chances of live birth. We compared the benefits and risks of the different GnRHa protocols used.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different GnRHa protocols used as adjuncts to COH in women undergoing ART.
