Purpose: The theme of the 15th St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference 2017 in Vienna, Austria was about seeking where appropriate to escalate or de-escalate therapies for early breast cancer based on the up-to-date information of loco-regional and systemic therapies. Along with this line, a group of Egyptian experts decided to arrange for a consensus session to elicit the differences and similarities in therapy recommendations for early breast cancer in Egypt compared to the original Saint Gallen voting and recommendations.
Methods: During the Egyptian National Cancer Institute's Annual Congress held in November 2017, 30 Egyptian scientists and clinicians from different specialties gathered in a special session and voted on the same questions of the original 15th St. Gallen consensus. Therapies were discussed from different aspects including their intensity, duration, and side effects, and were correlated with tumor stage and tumor biology.
Results And Conclusions: This report summarizes the voting questions and resulting percentages of answers of the Egyptian scientists. Interestingly the differences were minimal between the Cairo and original Saint Gallen Consensus denoting a more global view of breast cancer management all over the world.

Background: The online nature of decision aids (DAs) and related e-tools supporting women's decision-making regarding breast cancer screening (BCS) through mammography may facilitate broader access, making them a valuable addition to BCS programs.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the scientific evidence on the impacts of these e-tools and to provide a comprehensive assessment of the factors associated with their increased utility and efficacy.
Methods: We followed the 2020 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and conducted a search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases from August 2010 to April 2023.

Mammography is one of the main methods available for breast cancer screening in Brazil. However, differences in timely access and performance of the exam can be highlighted based on social determinants of health, considered relevant due to their influence on the health situation of a population. Thus, the present study aimed to identify the social determinants of health associated with access to and performance of mammography in Brazilian women.

This article aims to identify the relationship between material deprivation and mortality from breast, cervical, and prostate neoplasms in the Brazilian adult population and the relationship between ethnicity/skin color and material deprivation. This cross-sectional ecological study calculated the mean mortality rate per 100,000 inhabitants, and deaths were standardized by age and gender and redistributed per to ill-defined causes, stratified by age group and ethnicity/skin color. We applied the Negative Binomial model, containing the interaction between ethnicity/skin color and the Brazilian Deprivation Index (IBP).

Pathway analysis plays a critical role in bioinformatics, enabling researchers to identify biological pathways associated with various conditions by analyzing gene expression data. However, the rise of large, multi-center datasets has highlighted limitations in traditional methods like Over-Representation Analysis (ORA) and Functional Class Scoring (FCS), which struggle with low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and large sample sizes. To tackle these challenges, we use a deep learning-based classification method, Gene PointNet, and a novel $P$-value computation approach leveraging the confusion matrix to address pathway analysis tasks.

BRCA1 deficiency is observed in approximately 25% of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). BRCA1, a key player of homologous recombination (HR) repair, is also involved in stalled DNA replication fork protection and repair. Here, we investigated the sensitivity of BRCA1-deficient TNBC models to the frequently used replication chain terminator gemcitabine, which does not directly induce DNA breaks.
