From a historical perspective, histological grading was the earliest cell-based method for assessing tumor biology and the prognosis of breast cancer. This review article provides detailed and practical instructions for grading of breast cancer in routine diagnostics. Furthermore, the increasing relevance of precise histological grading in the era of molecular pathology is discussed.

Historical redlining and clustering of present-day breast cancer factors.
Cancer Causes Control
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, School of Public Health and Health Professions, State University of New York at Buffalo, 265 Farber Hall, Buffalo, NY, 14214, USA.
Purpose: Historical redlining, a 1930s-era form of residential segregation and proxy of structural racism, has been associated with breast cancer risk, stage, and survival, but research is lacking on how known present-day breast cancer risk factors are related to historical redlining. We aimed to describe the clustering of present-day neighborhood-level breast cancer risk factors with historical redlining and evaluate geographic patterning across the US.
Methods: This ecologic study included US neighborhoods (census tracts) with Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) grades, defined as having a score in the Historic Redlining Score dataset; 2019 Population Level Analysis and Community EStimates (PLACES) data; and 2014-2016 Environmental Justice Index (EJI) data.
Drug-drug interactions between palbociclib and proton pump inhibitors in early breast cancer: an exploratory analysis of PALLAS (ABCSG-42/AFT-05/BIG-14-13/PrE0109).
ESMO Open
January 2025
Abramson Cancer Center, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA.
Background: Concomitant intake of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may create drug-drug interactions, potentially impacting efficacy of anticancer agents. In the phase III PALLAS trial, the addition of palbociclib capsules to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer did not improve invasive disease-free survival (iDFS). We explored whether concomitant use of PPIs affected survival outcomes in patients treated with palbociclib in PALLAS.

ESMO Open

Uro-Gynecologic Oncology Unit, Istituto Nazionale Tumori IRCCS Fondazione G. Pascale, Naples, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: Ovarian cancer (OvC) constitutes significant management challenges primarily due to its late-stage diagnosis and the development of resistance to chemotherapy. The standard treatment regimen typically includes carboplatin and paclitaxel, with the addition of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors for patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. However, the variability in treatment responses suggests the need to investigate factors beyond BRCA1/2 mutations, such as DNA repair mechanisms and epigenetic alterations.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Xiamen Cancer Quality Control Center, Xiamen Cancer Center, Xiamen Key Laboratory of Radiation Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China. Electronic address:
Purpose: To investigate the clinical value of Clinical Treatment Score Post-5 Years (CTS5) to predict the survival benefits of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) of patients with T1-2N1 luminal breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with T1-2N1 luminal BC between 2010 and 2015 were included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The chi-square test, binomial logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model were used for statistical analyses.
A prospective, phase II, neoadjuvant study based on chemotherapy sensitivity in HR+/HER2- breast cancer-FINEST study.

Department of Breast Surgery, Key Laboratory of Breast Cancer in Shanghai, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre, Shanghai, P. R. China.
Background: Hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/humaal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, the most common breast cancer type, has variable prognosis and high recurrence risk. Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended for median-high risk HR+/HER2- patients. This phase II, single-arm, prospective study aimed to explore appropriate neoadjuvant treatment strategies for HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients.
