AI Article Synopsis

  • Breast augmentation with implants is a common aesthetic surgery, but it requires general anesthesia and has a lengthy recovery period.
  • Since 2018, a less invasive filler called Los Deline has been used for breast augmentation, but it has led to complications.
  • Surgeons in Stockholm have reported issues such as breast deformities and infections from Los Deline, deeming it unsafe for breast augmentation.

Article Abstract

Breast augmentation using implants is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic surgical procedures worldwide. It is considered to be a safe procedure, but requires general anesthesia and recovery can take time. The global aesthetic industry has been searching for a less invasive procedure to increase breast volume. Since 2018 a filler, Los Deline, is being used for breast augmentation. Surgeons at breast units in Stockholm have encountered and treated patients with complications after injections with this filler. The filler can cause breast deformities, infections and also has the ability to migrate. These complications can be severe and require several surgical treatments. We do not consider Los Deline to be a safe product for breast augmentation.

Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC), a distinct subtype of breast cancer is hallmarked by E-Cadherin loss, slow proliferation, and strong hormone receptor positivity. ILC faces significant challenges in clinical management due to advanced stage at diagnosis, late recurrence, and development of resistance to endocrine therapy - a cornerstone of ILC treatment. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying endocrine resistance in ILC, ILC cell lines (MDA-MB-134-VI, SUM44PE) were generated to be resistant to tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator.

Preclinical studies have shown that the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) improves the anti-cancer effects of various therapeutic agents by impairing autophagy. These findings are difficult to translate in vivo as reaching an effective HCQ concentration at the tumor site for extended times is challenging. Previously, we found that free HCQ in combination with gefitinib (Iressa, ZD1839) significantly reduced tumor volume in immunocompromised mice bearing gefitinib-resistant JIMT-1 breast cancer xenografts.
