AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Rationale: Male adenomyoepithelioma of the breast with malignant features is a rare tumor with only one previous case reported in the literature over 25 years ago.
Patient Concerns: We report the case of a 63-year-old man admitted to our Oncology Institute with a painless tumor mass of 6 cm in the left breast with no additional regional lymph nodes. Ultrasound revealed a complex cystic tumor mass of 60 mm in the left breast, with both anechoic (cystic) and echogenic (solid) components, with ill-defined margin.
Diagnoses: Extemporaneous assessment showed a solid (invasive) papillary intracystic carcinoma. Definitive pathology examination revealed the presence of a breast malignant adenomyoepithelioma.
Interventions: Based on the extemporaneous assessment, wide tumor excision was performed. The tumor board decided to continue treatment with adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
Outcomes: After 6 years of follow-up, the patient is cancer-free. No chronic side effects were noted.
Lessons: Because this pathology is extremely rare, no guidelines are available for its therapeutic approach. All decisions regarding patient management should be made by a multi-disciplinary team and can only be based on clinical experience and the few cases reported in female patients.

Effects of postoperative physical exercise rehabilitation on cardiorespiratory fitness, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and functional capacity following surgical procedures and during cancer treatments is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality among patients with cancer. We aimed to assess the impact of endurance and combined resistance exercise interventions during the postoperative rehabilitation period for patients with colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE Pubmed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library until October 2023 for randomized controlled trials that assessed exercise interventions (aerobic/endurance; resistance or combined training) on postoperative patients with cancer.

Background: Fungating breast wounds cause significant complications and morbidity to patients. Wound care is of paramount importance in optimising care and alleviating suffering for patients with malignant breast wounds. Currently, routinely implemented objective assessment tools for fungating breast wound treatment outcomes are non-existent, and institutional practice varies.

Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid derived from various medicinal plants, emerges as a potential therapeutic agent against diverse human diseases. It has particularly shown notable anticancer efficacy against breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, and liver cancer. Berberine results in inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and suppressing angiogenesis, positioning it as a versatile, multitargeted therapeutic tool against cancer.

CD8+ T cells are crucial cytotoxic components of the tumor immune system. In chronic inflammation, they become low-responsive, a state known as T cell exhaustion (TEX). The aim of immune checkpoint blockade is to counteract TEX, yet its dynamics in breast cancer remain poorly understood.
