Background: Patient SE translation (SET) belongs to histone chaperone nucleosome assembly protein family and has been confirmed that it is associated with carcinogenesis, tumor progression and patient outcome. In this study, we aim at assessing the prognostic value of SET mRNA, the function and pathway of SET and its related genes in breast cancer.
Methods: The clinicopathological and prognostic significance of SET was assessed by the molecular taxonomy of breast cancer international consortium (METABRIC) database (n=1,904). Additionally, based on the data and network of SET and its related genes from cBioPortal website, their function in the progression of breast cancer was also explored.
Results: SET mRNA overexpression was a significant predictor of a poor prognosis (P=0.0006). The two signaling pathways associated with SET were the facilitating function of condensin II on mitosis and the accelerated transportation of tumor cell mRNA towards the extranuclear position, and SET acted to suppress condensin II and stabilize mRNA.
Conclusions: Owing to the regulation of chromosome condensation and stabilization of tumor cell mRNA, overexpression of SET is correlated with aggressive phenotypes and facilitates tumor proliferation and deterioration. SET may act as a valuable prognosis biomarker in breast cancer.

Background: Germline heterozygous pathogenic variants (PVs) in TP53 cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a condition associated with increased risk of multiple tumor types. As the associated cancer risks were refined over time, clinical criteria also evolved to optimize diagnostic yield. The implementation of multi-gene panel germline testing in different clinical settings has led to the identification of TP53 PV carriers outside the classic LFS-associated cancer phenotypes, leading to a broader cancer phenotypic redefinition and to the renaming of the condition as "heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome" (hTP53rc).

Background: The beneficial role of physical activity for people living with cancer is well established. However, the importance of physical activity to women living with metastatic breast cancer is not known. As motivations and perceptions around physical activity influence behavioural uptake, a qualitative study was undertaken to explore the motivations and perceptions towards physical activity of this group.

Patients with metastatic breast cancer face reduced quality of life and increased mortality rates, necessitating more effective anti-cancer strategies. Building on previous research that identified metastatic-niche-specific metabolic vulnerabilities, we investigated how a ketogenic diet enhances estrogen receptor (ER)-positive liver metastatic breast cancer's response to Fulvestrant (Fulv) treatment. Using in vitro cell lines and in vivo xenograft metastasis mouse models, we examined the molecular mechanisms of combining ER targeting with a ketogenic diet.

Objectives: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with increased risks of breast, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian and rectal cancers. However, the number of cancer cases attributable to SB in Germany and the associated costs are unknown.
Setting: Numbers and proportions (population-attributable fractions, PAF) of new cancer cases attributable to SB with published risk estimates for Germany for the years 2024, 2030 and 2040.
