Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumors and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. The early diagnosis and treatment of BC are effective measures that can increase survival rates and reduce mortality. Carbohydrate antigens 15-3 (CA15-3) and carcinoma embryonic antigens (CEA) have been regarded as the most two valuable tumor markers of BC. The combined detection of CA15-3 and CEA could improve the sensitivity and accuracy of early diagnosis for BC.

Methods: The multi-channel double-gate silicon nanowire field effect transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensors were fabricated by using the top-down semiconductor manufacturing technology. By surface modification of the different SiNW surfaces with monoclonal CA15-3 and CEA antibodies separately, the prepared SiNW-FET was processed into biosensor for dual-channel detection of CA15-3 and CEA.

Results: The prepared SiNW-FET biosensors were proved to have high sensitivity and specificity for the dual-channel detection of CA15-3 and CEA, and the detection limit is as low as 0.1U/mL CA15-3 and 0.01 ng/mL CEA. Moreover, the SiNW-FET biosensors were able to detect CA15-3 and CEA in serum by connecting a miniature hemodialyzer.

Conclusion: The present study reported a SiNW-FET biosensor for dual-channel detection of breast cancer biomarkers CA15-3 and CEA in serum, which has potential clinical application value for the early diagnosis and curative effect observation of BC.

Assessment of lipid peroxidation and total antioxidant capacity in patients with breast cancer.

Explor Target Antitumor Ther

January 2025

Department of Medical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah 21955, Saudi Arabia.

Aim: Breast cancer (BC), a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumors, is a prevalent life-threatening disease worldwide. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development and progression of various cancers, including BC. Assessing lipid peroxidation and overall antioxidant status in BC offers valuable information on disease progression, patient prognosis, and the effectiveness of therapeutic options.

This study aimed to define the antitumor effect of ethanolic extract of Pistacia vera leaves (PEE) toward breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo using dimethyl-benz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast tumor in adult female rats. PEE showed a potent antioxidant effect toward both DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radicals with IC values of 72.6 and 107.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates how F-FDG-PET/CT imaging combined with clinicopathological factors can help differentiate between primary lung cancer (PLC) and breast cancer metastasis (BCM) in patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) following breast cancer treatment.* -
  • It involved 120 breast cancer patients, comparing clinicopathological characteristics and imaging features to identify significant differences, particularly in tumor markers and metabolic activities related to SPNs.* -
  • Key findings suggest that certain imaging features and serum markers, like SUV and specific signs on CT scans, are predictive factors that can aid in accurately diagnosing SPNs in this patient population.*

Article Synopsis
  • - The proposed strategy for detecting HER2, a key marker in breast cancer, involves a three-dimensional structure called COF that efficiently immobilizes the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and uses a new redox mediator, 4-acetamidophenol (APAP), for enhanced electrochemical detection.
  • - The combination of COF's structure and HRP results in better catalytic activity and stability compared to free HRP, allowing for improved target recognition and signal amplification in the detection process.
  • - This advanced electrochemical aptasensor shows exceptional specificity and sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.418 pg/mL for HER2, outperforming conventional methods and with the ability to differentiate between

Predicting ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node pathological complete response: nomogram based on the inflammatory markers.

Front Oncol

November 2024

Division of Breast Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Background: The prediction of ISLN pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) based on inflammatory markers and its prognostic value have rarely been investigated.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with ISLN-involved breast cancer who received NAC in West China Hospital between September 2009 and December 2020 were enrolled in the derivation cohort for model construction and survival analysis, and patients with the same criteria between January 2021 and July 2024 were involved in validation cohort for external validation. After randomly dividing patients into training and testing groups at 7:3 ratio, a nomogram predicting ISLN pCR was constructed based on logistic regression in training group.
