Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), a histone demethylating enzyme, plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis. Studies show LSD1 knockout promotes breast cancer lung metastasis, but it's unknown if it alters the lung microenvironment for metastasis. In this study, we investigated the effects of exosomes from LSD1-knockdown (LSD1 KD) breast cancer cells on pre-metastatic niche formation. Injecting exosomes from LSD1 KD cells in mice resulted in a substantial increase in lung colonization by breast cancer cells, while treatment with exosomes derived from LSD1 KD cells decreased the expression of the ZO-1 and occludin, leading to increased vascular permeability. The LSD1 KD reduced the expression of circDOCK1, which augmented the levels of miR-1270 in exosomes. And miR-1270 inhibited ZO-1 expression in human endothelial cells, which enhanced their permeability. Our study uncovered a novel mechanism in which the LSD1 promotes the formation of pre-metastatic niches via the regulation of exosomal miRNA.

Importance: The 2009 US Preventive Services Task Force breast cancer screening guideline changes led to decreases in screening mammography, raising concern about potential increases in late-stage disease and more invasive surgical treatments.
Objective: To investigate the incidence of breast cancer by stage at diagnosis and surgical treatment before and after the 2009 guideline changes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based, epidemiologic cohort study of women aged 40 years or older used 2004 to 2019 data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a serious disease with limited treatment options. We explored the significance of androgen receptor (AR) expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in predicting neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) resistance in TNBC, hypothesizing that AR/TIL classification using pretreatment biopsies can identify NAC-resistant subgroups and improve the understanding of apocrine differentiation.
Methods: This retrospective study included 156 consecutive patients with TNBC treated with NAC.

Background: In patients with breast cancer staged ypN1 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), there is limited evidence-based guidance regarding exemption from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND).
Methods: This study analyzed ypN1 breast cancer patients post-NAC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results databases. Patients were categorized into the breast-conserving surgery (BCS) group and the total mastectomy (TM) group, and further divided by the number of positive lymph nodes (LNs).

Purpose: The objective of the current research was to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and long-term prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low status following breast surgery.
Methods: A total of 202 TNBC patients treated at Qingdao Central Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were included, comprising 71 HER2-low and 131 HER2-zero patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize differences between the cohorts.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a novel class of targeted anti-tumor medications that utilize the covalent linkage between monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic agents. This unique mechanism combines the cytotoxic potency of drugs with the targeting specificity conferred by antigen recognition. However, it is essential to recognize that many ADCs still face challenges related to off-target toxicity akin to cytotoxic payloads, as well as targeted toxicity and other potential life-threatening adverse effects, such as treatment-induced interstitial lung injury.
