Unlabelled: We performed a nationwide, population-based cohort study to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture in patients with breast cancer using the data from Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) and concluded that Korean women with breast cancer had a higher risk of osteoporosis than healthy women, regardless of age.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the association between breast cancer and the occurrence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture using data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES).
Methods: Using the national KoGES health examinee (HEXA) data consisting of data from urban resident participants ≥ 40 years old, we extracted data for patients with breast cancer (n = 1080) and for control participants (n = 106,993); we then analyzed the occurrence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture at baseline from 2004 to 2013 and during follow-up from 2012 to 2016. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the odds ratios (ORs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analysis was performed based on age (younger group aged ≤ 51 years old; older group aged ≥ 52 years old).
Results: The ORs (95% CIs) for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture were 1.54 (95% CI = 1.28-1.84, P < 0.001) and 1.01 (95% CI = 0.82-1.23, P = 0.949), respectively, in the breast cancer group. In the subgroup analysis based on age, the ORs (95% CIs) for osteoporosis were 2.41 (95% CI = 1.70-3.43, P < 0.001) in the younger group and 1.33 (95% CI = 1.08-1.64, P = 0.007) in the older group of breast cancer patients. The ORs (95% CIs) for osteoporotic fracture were 1.15 (95% CI = 0.81-1.63, P = 0.441) in the younger group and 0.95 (95% CI = 0.74-1.21, P = 0.661) in the older group of breast cancer patients.
Conclusion: We concluded that Korean women with breast cancer had a higher risk of osteoporosis than healthy women, but the same finding was not observed for osteoporotic fracture, regardless of age.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a significant global health challenge, emphasizing the need for precise identification of patients with specific therapeutic targets and those at high risk of metastasis. This study aimed to identify novel therapeutic targets for personalized treatment of TNBC patients by elucidating their roles in cell cycle regulation. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we identified 83 hub genes by integrating gene expression profiles with clinical pathological grades.

Background: Breast cancer screening (BCS) inequities are evident at national and local levels, and many health systems want to address these inequities, but may lack data about contributing factors. The objective of this study was to inform health system interventions through an exploratory analysis of potential multilevel contributors to BCS inequities using health system data.
Methods: The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis within a large academic health system including 19,774 individuals who identified as Black (n = 1445) or White (n = 18,329) race and were eligible for BCS.

Background: To date, 11 DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) pathogenic variants have been declared "hotspot" mutations. Patients with endometrial cancer (EC) characterized by POLE hotspot mutations (POLEmut) have exceptional survival outcomes. Whereas international guidelines encourage deescalation of adjuvant treatment in early-stage POLEmut EC, data regarding safety in POLEmut patients with unfavorable characteristics are still under investigation.

Multi-gene panel testing allows efficient detection of pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes including moderate-risk genes such as ATM and PALB2. A growing number of studies examine the risk of breast cancer (BC) conferred by pathogenic variants of these genes. A meta-analysis combining the reported risk estimates can provide an overall estimate of age-specific risk of developing BC, that is, penetrance for a gene.
