Identifying novel breast cancer biomarkers will improve patient stratification, enhance therapeutic outcomes, and help develop non-invasive diagnostics. We compared the proteomic profiles of whole-cell and exosomal samples of representative breast cancer cell subtypes to evaluate the potential of extracellular vesicles as non-invasive disease biomarkers in liquid biopsies. Overall, differentially-expressed proteins in whole-cell and exosome samples (which included markers for invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and drug resistance) effectively discriminated subtypes; furthermore, our results confirmed that the proteomic profile of exosomes reflects breast cancer cell-of-origin, which underscores their potential as disease biomarkers. Our study will contribute to identifying biomarkers that support breast cancer patient stratification and developing novel therapeutic strategies. We include an open, interactive web tool to explore the data as a molecular resource that can explain the role of these protein signatures in breast cancer classification.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) due to the overexpression of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump remains a significant challenge in cancer therapy, also in breast cancer. Traditional pharmacological approaches have focused on using inhibitors to modulate P-gp expression and function. Curcumin, a polyphenol derived from Curcuma longa L.

Chemotherapy is still one of the major approaches in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment. The development of new formulations for classic chemotherapeutic drugs remains interests in studies. Camptothecin (CPT) is powerful antitumor agents in TNBC treatment though its clinic applications are limited by its low water solubility and systemic toxicity.

Purpose: This register-based study investigates the probability of a livebirth after cancer during the female reproductive age.
Methods: The study population, derived from the DANAC II cohort, included women aged 18-39 diagnosed with cancer between 1978 and 2016, matched with 60 undiagnosed women each from the general population. Primary outcome was a livebirth after cancer with follow-up until death, emigration, or end of follow-up.

Purpose: The optimal method for axillary staging in patients with initially node-positive breast cancer after NACT remains unclear.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-center trial to investigate the diagnostic performance of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) combined with wire localized lymph node biopsy (WLNB) of the clip-marked node as an axillary staging technique in patients with node-positive breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
Results: A total of 233 patients were enrolled, 208 of whom were included in the analysis.

Breast cancer (BCa) is a highly prevalent pathological condition (̴30% in women) with limited and subtype-dependent prognosis and therapeutic options. Therefore, BCa management might benefit from the identification of novel molecular elements with clinical potential. Since splicing process is gaining a great relevance in cancer, this work analysed the expression of multiple Spliceosome Components (SCs = 17) and Splicing Factors (SFs = 26) and found a drastic dysregulation in BCa (n = 69) vs.
