Data on using the 21-gene Recurrence Score (RS) testing on second breast cancer (BC; second primary or local recurrence) are lacking. This cohort study examined patients with first and second BC, who underwent 21-gene testing both times. It included a 'study-cohort' (60 N0/N1mi/N1 ER + HER2‒ BC patients with ≥2 RS results >1 year apart) and a 'general 21-gene-tested BC-cohort' (2044 previously described N0/N1mi/N1 patients). The median time between the first and second BC was 5.2 (IQR, 3.1-7.1) years; the second BC was ipsilateral in 68%. Patient/tumor characteristics of the first- and second-BC in the 'study-cohort' were similar, except for the RS which was higher in the second BC (median [IQR]: 23 [17-30] vs 17 [14-22], p < 0.001). Overall, 56 patients had follow-up data, of whom 5 experienced distant recurrence (2 RS 11-25 patients and 3 RS 26-100 patients). Studies exploring the prognostic utility of the RS in this setting are warranted.

This study aimed to develop a Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) logistic regression (LR) model using quantitative imaging features from Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) to assess the malignancy risk of BI-RADS 4 breast lesions (BLs). The features predictive of malignancy in the LASSO analysis were used to construct a nomogram. Female patients (n = 111) with BI-RADS 4 BLs detected via routine ultrasound at Ma'anshan People's Hospital underwent SWE, CEUS, and histopathological examinations were enrolled in this study.

Previous studies on the correlation between serum selenium and hypertension have yielded inconsistent results. Our previous analysis of participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 indicated that elevated serum selenium concentrations were associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities in obese individuals, with the primary effect being on blood pressure in males. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the relationship between serum selenium and the risk of hypertension in obese males.

Background: Identification of risk genes and loci associated with the recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer (BC) is of utmost importance. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) represent valuable tools for identifying the disease risk associated with a given single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP); they offer significant insights into the disease progression mechanism by analyzing SNP information of the entire genome. Though GWAS has already identified several genetic susceptibility SNPs for BC, their significance in the recurrence and metastasis of this cancer remains unclear.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, with the worst prognosis among all subtypes. The impact of distinct cell subpopulations within the tumor microenvironment (TME) on TNBC patient prognosis has yet to be clarified.
Methods: Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integrated with bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq), we applied Cox regression models to compute hazard ratios, and cross-validated prognostic scoring using a GLMNET-based Cox model.

Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) shows potential for the differential diagnosis of breast lesions in general, but its effectiveness remains unclear for the differential diagnosis of lesions highly suspicious for breast cancers.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of CEUS in differentiating pathological subtypes of suspicious breast lesions defined as category 4 of US-BI-RADS.
Methods: The dataset of 150 breast lesions was prospectively collected from 150 patients who underwent routine ultrasound and CEUS examination and were highly suspected of having breast cancers.
