AI Article Synopsis
- Lifestyle, including things like diet and exercise, affects how our body stores fat and can lead to problems like obesity and breast cancer.
- Inflammation and having too much fat can hurt our bodies and make health issues worse.
- Scientists are looking at a measurement called phase angle (PhA) to help understand nutrition and health in cancer patients, as it could improve their treatment and quality of life.
Article Abstract
The interaction between lifestyle--defined more specifically in health care as the personal exposome--and its implications on obesity and breast cancer development highlights the critical role of body composition and inflammation in these patients. There is clear evidence that the personal and internal exposome triggers biochemical, inflammatory, and metabolic reprogramming, which might favor ectopic lipid accumulation within the body, such as muscles. Additionally, the presence of excessive adipose tissue exacerbates these alterations in the internal exposome, resulting in cell damage and modifying body composition. Understanding the nexus between these lifestyle-induced exposome modifications, such as inflammation, and the resultant changes in body composition is crucial to assess the association with breast cancer progression and treatment responses. Various techniques can be used to evaluate body composition; one of those most used currently is bioelectrical impedance analysis. This analysis provides parameters, including phase angle (PhA), by which cellular health and metabolic activity can be assessed. In addition, PhA is a potential indicator of nutritional status and disease prognosis, as it has been linked to survival and quality of life in patients with cancer. Therefore, PhA might be used in daily oncology practice to implement an accurate nutritional intervention, reducing side effects and complications of oncology management, and improving quality of life during treatment and survival, even in patients with breast cancer with obesity or overweight. The aim of this review is to analyze the existing information on the current application of PhA in patients with breast cancer and its potential use as a tool to assess inflammatory response, identify malnutrition, and predict the deterioration of quality of life so that it could be proposed as an early indicator for nutritional interventions in this group of patients.

Unlabelled: Patients with breast cancer (BC) are at high risk of cardiotoxicity (CT) due to combination of anticancer treatment.Cardio-vascular (СV) complications lead to the delay or discontinuation of anticancer therapy, which significantlyworsens the prognosis. Anthracyclines (AC) are the main drugs included in most anticancer treatment regimens.

Unlabelled: Problem of the causal relationship of disease that became the reason of death with the effect of ionizing radiation and due to harmful influence of the Chornobyl Catastrophe during performance of professional, military or official duties and / or living on radiation-contaminated areas, additional exposure not through their own fault but due to a radiation accident, caused the development of a special form of medical expertise as part of the of medical social protection system for suffered contingents in the remote postaccidental period.
Objective: To study and characterize the structure of the survivor categories (clean-up workers and victims) of the Chernobyl Catastrophe in the remote post-accident period (2013-2024) regarding the causal relationship of disease that became the reason of death with the effect of ionizing radiation and due to harmful influence of the Chornobyl Catastrophe based on the materials of expert cases of the Central Interdepartmental Expert Commission of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (CIEC).
Material And Methods: The work was performed in the design of a retrospective study that based on analysis of the structure of all categories of Chornobyl NPP accident (ChNPP) survivors during 2008-2024 years and studying of 58,137 medical expert cases, including 19,524 postmortem cases, which were considered by CIEC during 2013-2023 to establish a causal relationship between the disease and influence of radiation exposure and other harmful factors and conditions during ChNPP accident.

Objective: To develop a model for accurate prediction of axillary lymph node (LN) status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients with nodal involvement.
Methods: Between October 2018 and February 2024, 671 breast cancer patients with biopsy-proven LN metastasis who received NAC followed by axillary LN dissection were enrolled in this prospective, multicenter study. Preoperative ultrasound (US) images, including B-mode ultrasound (BUS) and shear wave elastography (SWE), were obtained.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a complex and diverse group of malignancies. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the predominant pathological subtype and is closely linked to the ominous potential for distant metastasis, a pivotal factor that significantly influences patient outcomes. In light of these considerations, the present study was conceived with the objective of developing a nomogram model.
