Predicting breast cancer prognosis using PR and PIK3CA biomarkers: a comparative analysis of diagnostic groups.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Department of Pathology, Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital/Shanxi Hospital Affiliated to Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences/Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, 030013, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic significance of progesterone receptor (PR) expression and the PIK3CA mutation status in HR+/HER2 - breast cancer patients, with the goal of screening patients who may derive the greatest benefit from PI3K-targeted therapy.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 152 HR+/HER2 - breast cancer patients stratified by PR expression levels and PIK3CA mutation status. The study population was divided into groups on the basis of a median PR threshold of 50% and further subdivided by PIK3CA mutation status.

Menstrual cycle effects on thermoregulation while exercising in the heat.

J Therm Biol

January 2025

School of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training, University of Montana, 32 Campus Drive, Missoula, MT, 59812, USA. Electronic address:

Women may be challenged to maintain thermoregulation due to hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the menstrual cycle phase on core temperature, hydration status, and perceived exertion while exercising under uncompensable heat gain. Eleven eumenorrheic women (24.

Objective: The effects of sex hormones remain largely unexplored in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs).

Methods: We evaluated the effects of estradiol, progesterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and testosterone on human patient-derived PPGL/GEP-NET primary culture cell viability (n = 38/n = 12), performed next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemical hormone receptor analysis in patient-derived PPGL tumor tissues (n = 36).

Results: In PPGLs, estradiol and progesterone (1 µm) demonstrated overall significant antitumor effects with the strongest efficacy in PPGLs with NF1 (cluster 2) pathogenic variants.

XGBoost-based nomogram for predicting lymph node metastasis in endometrial carcinoma.

Am J Cancer Res

December 2024

Department of Reproductive Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University Guangzhou 510000, Guangdong, China.

This study aims to construct and optimize risk prediction models for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, thus improving the identification of patients at high risk of LNM and further providing accurate support for clinical decision-making. This retrospective analysis included 541 cases of EC treated at The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University between January 2017 and January 2022. Various clinical and pathological variables were incorporated, including age, body mass index (BMI), pathological grading, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels, and tumor size.

Menstrual variations of sleep-wake rhythms in healthy women.

Sleep Biol Rhythms

January 2025

Laboratory of Animal Physiology, School of Agriculture, Meiji University, 1-1-1 Higashimita, Tama-Ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 214-8571 Japan.

The ovarian steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, the levels of which fluctuate dynamically with the estrous cycle, alter circadian behavioral rhythms in mammals. However, it remains unclear whether the sleep-wake rhythm fluctuates with the menstrual cycle in humans. To ascertain the relationship between the menstrual cycle and sleep-wake rhythms, we evaluated the objective and long-term sleep-wake rhythms of ten healthy women using a recently developed wearable device.
