Background: Cardiac metastatic tumors (CMTs) are rare yet pose significant medical concerns. Clinical studies on CMT are limited, particularly those involving multicenter data analysis.

Aim: To systematically analyze the etiology, sources, classification, treatment, and prognosis of CMT.

Microsurgery influences breast reconstruction and its timing in patients with breast cancer: A population-based multilevel analysis.

JPRAS Open

March 2025

Catalan Cancer Plan, Health Department, Hospital Duran i Reynals Hospital, Av. Gran Via de l'Hospitalet, 199-203- 1ª planta, 08908 L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.

Background: The number of post-mastectomy breast reconstructions performed in patients with breast cancer varies widely. This study aimed to assess geographic and temporal variability and associated factors from 2018 to 2020, including the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This population-based cohort study was conducted in women who underwent mastectomy for invasive breast cancer from 2018 to 2020 in the Catalan public healthcare system, with follow-up until November 2022.

To enhance the therapeutic efficacy and safety of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment, we developed a hypoxia-responsive drug delivery system utilizing digoxin (DIG) to inhibit HIF-1α and sensitize TNBC to doxorubicin (DOX). DIG, a cardiac steroid with a well-characterized pharmacological mechanism, was encapsulated in micelles composed of methoxy-polyethylene glycol (mPEG) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) copolymers, incorporating an azobenzene (AZO) trigger for hypoxia-sensitive drug release. The loading ratio of DOX to DIG was optimized based on DIG's minimum effective dose.

Purpose: Thoracic radiotherapy (RT) is now widely used in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as palliative, consolidative or radical therapy. However, RT adversely impacts the immune system, which can be evaluated by calculating the estimated dose of radiation to immune cells (EDRIC). We evaluated the prognostic impact of the EDRIC in patients with advanced NSCLC who received immunotherapy and thoracic RT.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant clinical challenge because of drug resistance, which can adversely impact patient outcomes. Recent research has shown that abnormalities within the tumor microenvironment, especially hyperglycemia, play a crucial role in promoting metastasis and chemoresistance, and thereby determine the overall prognosis of patients with advanced CRC.

Methods: This study employs data mining and consensus molecular subtype (CMS) techniques to identify pitavastatin and atorvastatin as potential agents for targeting high glucose-induced drug resistance in advanced CRC cells.
