Purpose: Breast cancer and its treatments may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between breast cancer and the incidence of T2D overall, and according to breast cancer treatments.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and references of relevant papers for studies on breast cancer, breast cancer treatment, and subsequent T2D risk. Using random-effects models, we calculated effect estimates and associated 95% confidence intervals of the association between breast cancer, adjuvant breast cancer treatments (i.e., endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, and combined) and chemotherapy), and subsequent T2D. We used funnel plots to assess publication bias.

Results: Among 15 eligible studies, 10 reported on T2D risk after breast cancer, chemotherapy, or endocrine therapy; five studies investigated more than one association. Compared with patients without breast cancer, those with breast cancer and those who received any endocrine therapy had elevated risk of incident T2D (EE = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.13-1.33 and EE = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.16-1.32, respectively). Among breast cancer patients only, the risk of T2D was higher for those who received tamoxifen compared with those who did not receive tamoxifen (EE = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.18-1.38). Due to few studies, analyses investigating T2D risk after treatment with aromatase inhibitors or chemotherapy were inconclusive.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest an elevated risk of T2D in breast cancer survivors, particularly after tamoxifen therapy. Further research is needed to determine the impact of aromatase inhibitors, and chemotherapy on the incidence of T2D after breast cancer.

Ferroptosis combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a powerful approach to induce cancer cell death by producing and accumulating lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite its efficacy and safety, challenges persist in delivering multiple drugs to the tumor site for enhanced antitumor efficacy and improved tissue targeting. Hence, we designed a method of inducing ferroptosis through laser-mediated and human homologation-specific efficient activation, which is also a ferroptosis therapy with higher safety through ROS-mediated.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).

In the past few years, three protein molecules-USP53, NPY2R, and DCTN1-AS1-have garnered significant attention in scientific research due to their potential implications in tumor development. Mass spectrometry and proteomics techniques were used to analyze the three-dimensional structure of these protein molecules and predict their active sites and functional domains. The effects of USP53, NPY2R and DCTN1-AS1 on biological behavior of tumor cells were studied by constructing gene knockout and overexpression cell models.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals were overwhelmed with infected patients, leading to a disruption in the delivery of services. Patients with cancer, including breast cancer, rely on timely treatment, as delays can reduce survival rates. In this study, we investigated delays in treatment and the factors contributing to delays in chemotherapy and radiotherapy for these patients.
