Mammography breast cancer screening programs and continuing improvements in early diagnosis of the disease have led to more frequent detection of nonpalpable breast lesions. The commonly used technique in guiding the surgical removal of these lesions is hook wire-guided localization (WGL). However, the WGL procedure has been criticized for the last years. Key disadvantages of WGL are possible wire transection, wire migration before or during surgery, patient discomfort and pneumothorax. Over the last decade, alternatives to wire localization have emerged. In this study the authors present their initial experience with a wireless, nonradioactive, wave reflection implant system that enables surgeons to safely and accurately remove breast lesions (Tab. 2, Fig. 4, Ref. 20). Keywords: breast cancer, breast surgery, nonpalpable lesions, preoperative localization.

Background: Up to 23% of breast cancer patients recurred within a decade after trastuzumab treatment. Conversely, one trial found that patients with low HER2 expression and metastatic breast cancer had a positive response to trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-Dxd). This indicates that relying solely on HER2 as a single diagnostic marker to predict the efficacy of anti-HER2 drugs is insufficient.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a crucial component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), with hypoxic conditions promoting their migration to tumors. Exosomes play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication within the TME. Hypoxic TME have a great impact on the release, uptake and biofunctions of exosomes.

Purpose: To determine whether body awareness and upper extremity functionality are affected in patients with or without lymphedema development after breast cancer surgery (BCS) in comparison with individuals without a history of cancer.
Methods: The study included a total of 102 individuals, including 34 who developed lymphedema after BCS (mean age: 43.88 ± 12.

Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC) represents a common malignant neoplasm in women, with its prognosis being intricately associated with available therapeutic interventions. In the past few decades, there has been a burgeoning interest in the role of mitochondria within the context of UCEC. Nevertheless, the development and application of prognostic models predicated on mitochondrial-related genes (MRGs) in UCEC remains in the exploratory stages.

The current mortality rates for breast cancer underscore the need for better prognostic tools; moreover, LIM and calponin homology domain 1 (LIMCH1), which is a protein with dual roles in cancer, is a promising candidate for investigation. This study employed an integrative approach combining bioinformatics analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort and clinical immunohistochemistry (IHC) cohort data. We analysed LIMCH1 expression patterns, its associations with clinicopathological features and prognosis, and its impact on the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME).
