Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diabetes status and the risk of breast cancer among adult Americans, exploring the impact of BMI, age, and race on this relationship.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 8,249 individuals from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was conducted. Diabetes was categorized as type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, with both conditions diagnosed according to the ADA 2014 guidelines. The association between diabetes status and breast cancer risk was explored using multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results: Patients with diabetes had higher odds of breast cancer (OR: 1.51; 95% CI 1.00 to 2.28), Using the two-piecewise linear regression model, it was observed that there is a threshold effect in the risk of breast cancer occurrence at the age of 52 years. Specifically, the risk of breast cancer is relatively low before the age of 52 but increases significantly after this age.
Conclusions: This study identified a significant association between diabetes status and breast cancer risk among adult Americans. We also found a threshold effect in breast cancer occurrence at the age of 52. Age was significantly associated with breast cancer risk in both Non-Hispanic White and Non-Hispanic Black individuals. These findings underscore the importance of diabetes management, maintaining a healthy BMI, and age-related risk considerations in reducing breast cancer risk.

Objectives: Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a steroid progesterone, is widely used to treat endometriosis, menstrual disorders, and uterine bleeding in clinical practice. However, the safety profile of MPA requires comprehensive evaluation.
Methods: This study performed a retrospective analysis using real-world data extracted from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.

Importance: Approximately one-third of patients with ERBB2 (formerly HER2 or HER2/neu)-positive (ERBB2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) develop brain metastasis. It is unclear whether patients with disease limited to the central nervous system (CNS) have different outcomes and causes of death compared with those with concomitant extracranial metastasis.
Objective: To assess overall survival (OS) and CNS-related mortality among patients with ERBB2+ breast cancer and a diagnosis of CNS disease by disease distribution (CNS only vs CNS plus extracranial metastasis).

Aims: We develop and evaluate copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) incorporating cromolyn as a linker to enhance structural stability, drug delivery efficiency, and therapeutic potential, particularly for breast cancer treatment.
Materials & Methods: Two Cu-MOF formulations were synthesized: Cu-MOFs-BDC-DOX (using terephthalic acid) and Cu-MOFs-CROMO-DOX (using cromolyn as a linker). Characterization was performed using SEM/TEM for morphology, and FTIR, XRD, and TGA to confirm structural integrity.

Aims And Objectives: Appropriately timed cessation of systemic anticancer treatments is an important part of a patient's quality of life (QoL). We aimed to determine the right time to discontinue systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) and switch to the best supportive care for patients with advanced breast cancer (BC) who are nearing the end of life.
Methods: We identified 200 BC patients who died within 30 days after palliative SACT.
