Breast cancer and gynecological tumors seriously endanger women's physical and mental health, fertility, and quality of life. Due to standardized surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the prognosis and overall survival of cancer patients have improved compared to earlier, but the management of advanced disease still faces great challenges. Recently, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPis) have been clinically approved for breast and gynecological cancer patients, significantly improving their quality of life, especially of patients with BRCA1/2 mutations. However, drug resistance faced by PARPi therapy has hindered its clinical promotion. Therefore, developing new drug strategies to resensitize cancers affecting women to PARPi therapy is the direction of our future research. Currently, the effects of PARPi in combination with other drugs to overcome drug resistance are being studied. In this article, we review the mechanisms of PARPi resistance and summarize the current combination of clinical trials that can improve its resistance, with a view to identify the best clinical treatment to save the lives of patients.

Oral Maintenance Therapy in Early Breast Cancer-How Many Patients Are Potential Candidates?
Cancers (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Lübeck, 23538 Lübeck, Germany.
Background/objectives: This single-center analysis evaluated the number of potential candidates for endocrine-based oral maintenance therapy in a real-world setting, focusing on three therapeutic agents, namely, olaparib, abemaciclib, and ribociclib, for patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative early breast cancer.
Methods: All breast cancer cases from the past 10 years ( = 3230) that underwent treatment at the certified Breast Cancer Center of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Lübeck Campus, were analyzed.
Results: Of a total of 2038 patients with HR+ HER2- eBC, 685 patients (33.
An Overview of the Current State of Cell Viability Assessment Methods Using OECD Classification.
Int J Mol Sci
December 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Translational and Clinical Research, University of Maribor, Taborska ulica 8, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia.
Over the past century, numerous methods for assessing cell viability have been developed, and there are many different ways to categorize these methods accordingly. We have chosen to use the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) classification due to its regulatory importance. The OECD categorizes these methods into four groups: non-invasive cell structure damage, invasive cell structure damage, cell growth, and cellular metabolism.

Background: Female-specific cancers, particularly breast, cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers, account for nearly 40% of all cancers in women. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of these cancers from 1990 to 2021, offering insights into their evolving patterns and providing valuable information for health policymakers to allocate healthcare resources more effectively.
Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) were used to comprehensively assess the global incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of female-specific cancers.
A pan-tumor review of the role of poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase inhibitors.
CA Cancer J Clin

Division of Medical Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, such as olaparib, talazoparib, rucaparib, and niraparib, comprise a therapeutic class that targets PARP proteins involved in DNA repair. Cancer cells with homologous recombination repair defects, particularly BRCA alterations, display enhanced sensitivity to these agents because of synthetic lethality induced by PARP inhibitors. These agents have significantly improved survival outcomes across various malignancies, initially gaining regulatory approval in ovarian cancer and subsequently in breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers in different indications.

Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC) represents a common malignant neoplasm in women, with its prognosis being intricately associated with available therapeutic interventions. In the past few decades, there has been a burgeoning interest in the role of mitochondria within the context of UCEC. Nevertheless, the development and application of prognostic models predicated on mitochondrial-related genes (MRGs) in UCEC remains in the exploratory stages.
