The article presents results of comparative investigation of blood serum in 2682 breast cancer (BC) patients and 3323 healthy persons. At the onset of the study, all the specimens were tested for serum antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV). At the later stage, the serum specimens containing the antibodies were examined for detecting RNA GCV. Based on the obtained study results the authors concluded that BC patients can be considered as a high risk group for parenteral contamination with HCV. In addition, the authors have determined that HCV-infection course among BC patients is characterized by a low rate of recovery accompanied with spontaneous virus elimination and a high level of «viral load».

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals were overwhelmed with infected patients, leading to a disruption in the delivery of services. Patients with cancer, including breast cancer, rely on timely treatment, as delays can reduce survival rates. In this study, we investigated delays in treatment and the factors contributing to delays in chemotherapy and radiotherapy for these patients.

Purpose: After the diagnosis of breast cancer, women's sexuality becomes complex, and the sexual lives of couples are strongly affected by the treatment process of the disease. The aim of this study is to determine the perceptions, experiences, expectations, and needs related to sexuality from the perspective of women diagnosed with breast cancer and their partners.
Method: In this study, a descriptive qualitative design based on a thematic analysis approach was used.

In the past few years, three protein molecules-USP53, NPY2R, and DCTN1-AS1-have garnered significant attention in scientific research due to their potential implications in tumor development. Mass spectrometry and proteomics techniques were used to analyze the three-dimensional structure of these protein molecules and predict their active sites and functional domains. The effects of USP53, NPY2R and DCTN1-AS1 on biological behavior of tumor cells were studied by constructing gene knockout and overexpression cell models.
