Utilize breast cancer samples in the same patient to indicate breast cancer development. We performed whole-exome analysis of spatially independent ductal carcinoma (DCIS) and invasive ductal carcinoma samples from the same breast. In VEGF pathway, we observed two genes disrupted in DCIS, while another four (including ) mutated in invasive ductal carcinoma. When looked up TCGA database, we identified seven breast cancer patients with  somatic mutations and observed a dramatic decrease in the overall survival time in  mutant patients (p = 0.0182). A further finding in the TCGA database shows that breast cancer patients with ≥2 mutated genes in VEGF pathways showed worse prognosis (p = 0.0013). TCGA database and special case could inform each other to reveal DCIS developmental rules.

Efficient synthesis of coumarin based triazole linked O-glycoconjugates as new bio-active glycohybrids.

Carbohydr Res

Glycochemistry Laboratory, School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, 110067, India. Electronic address:

Glycohybrids are biologically significant molecules with variety of biological functions and are found as structural motifs in numerous natural products. Here, we report the synthesis of various new coumarin-based O-glycoconjugates as glycohybrids that are chirally enriched and bridged by 1,2,3-triazoles ring system. The1,2,3-triazoles bridging was done via CuAAC click-chemistry.

A Japanese woman with Li-Fraumeni syndrome in her 40s underwent comprehensive genetic profiling accompanied by germline data using the Oncoguide NCC Oncopanel, but no germline pathogenic variants in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 were detected. However, careful examination of additional data in the report suggested the presence of a large TP53 deletion. Custom targeting next-generation sequencing and nanopore sequencing revealed a 3.

Purpose: Standard therapy for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery is radiation therapy (RT) plus hormone therapy (HT). For patients with a low-risk of recurrence, there is an interest in deescalating therapy.

Methods And Materials: A retrospective study was carried out for patients treated at the Swedish Cancer Institute from 2000 to 2015, aged 70 years or older, with pT1N0 or pT1NX estrogen receptor-positive and ERBB2-negative unifocal breast cancer without positive surgical margins, high nuclear grade, or lymphovascular invasion.

Introduction: To target psychological support to cancer patients most in need of support, screening for psychological distress has been advocated and, in some settings, also implemented. Still, no prior studies have examined the appropriate 'dosage' and whether screening for distress before cancer treatment may be sufficient or if further screenings during treatment are necessary. We examined the development in symptom trajectories for breast cancer patients with low distress before surgery and explored potential risk factors for developing burdensome symptoms at a later point in time.

Omega-3 fatty acids: molecular weapons against chemoresistance in breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Highly targeted therapies have been developed for different subtypes of breast cancer, including hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metastatic breast cancer disease are primarily treated with chemotherapy, which improves disease-free and overall survival, but does not offer a curative solution for these aggressive forms of breast cancer.
