    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 123-131, 2023, DOI:10.32604/po.2023.044806

    Abstract Approximately 50% of breast cancer patients under hormone therapy experience osteoarticular pain, which increases the risk of treatment discontinuation and relapse. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of yoga practice associated with patient education (PE) for at-home practice in breast cancer patients under hormone therapy. We also evaluated osteoarticular pain, flexibility and patients’ satisfaction. In this study, intervention was split into two 6-week periods (P): P1 consisting of a supervised yoga-PE session of 90 minutes/week and 15-minutes of daily at-home yoga, and P2, involving daily autonomous athome yoga sessions. Feasibility was evaluated by patient adherence defined… More >

    Abstract Aims: Return to work (RTW) after breast cancer is a complex process that questions the individual trajectories of patients and stakeholders. Program planning in this context requires relying on appropriate methods like Intervention Mapping (IM) which encompasses such complexity. The aim of the methodological study is to describe an application of IM for both the design and production of a patient guide supporting RTW after breast cancer. Procedure: According to IM, the guide was co-constructed with a Community Advisory Board (CAB) of stakeholders (patients/associations, health professionals, companies, institutions) after considering other options (interactive website, mobile application). The design was done… More >

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 159-166, 2023, DOI:10.32604/po.2023.044727

    Abstract The development of digital platforms is transforming caregiver-patient interactions and the dissemination of knowledge. Obtaining information from the Internet has become a habit for many patients and must be considered by caregivers. Thus, understanding the use of digital tools by patients is a public health issue. The Sav-AQ study aims to understand patterns of use by women with breast cancer and the role of health professionals. Sav-AQ is an exploratory feasibility study with a mixed design, exploring patient and healthcare experience before and after the integration of a specific website into their care pathways. The research is based on the… More >

    Abstract Background: The development and prognosis of breast cancer are intricately linked to psychological stress. In addition, depression is the most common psychological comorbidity among breast cancer survivors, and reportedly, Fang-Xia-Dihuang decoction (FXDH) can effectively manage depression in such patients. However, its pharmacological and molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Methods: Public databases were used for obtaining active components and related targets. Main active components were further verified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS). Protein–protein interaction and enrichment analyses were taken to predict potential hub targets and related pathways. Molecule docking was used to understand the interactions between main compounds and hub… More >

    A novel isoxazole compound CM2-II-173 inhibits the invasive phenotype of triple-negative breast cancer cells

    EUN SOOK KIM1, SANGHEE KIM2, AREE MOON1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.6, pp. 867-875, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.030411

    Abstract Invasion and metastasis are important hallmarks of breast cancer and are the leading cause of patient mortality. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of breast cancer characterized by a poor prognosis and a lack of effective targeted therapies. The present study investigated the inhibitory effect of a novel FTY720 derivative on the invasive phenotype of TNBC cells. Here, we showed that a novel compound with an isoxazole ring, 4-(3-Decylisoxazol-5-yl)-1-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)butan-2-aminium chloride (CM2-II-173), significantly inhibited invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells. Expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and invasiveness of MCF10A normal breast cells induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) were reduced by CM2-II-173… More >

    ScRNA-seq reveals the correlation between M2 phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages and lymph node metastasis of breast cancer

    JUN SHEN1,#, HONGFANG MA2,#, YONGXIA CHEN3, JIANGUO SHEN1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.6, pp. 955-966, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.029638

    Abstract The process of lymphatic metastasis was proved to be associated with podoplanin-expressing macrophages in breast cancer (BC). This study aimed to investigate the role of the M2 phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages and mine the key M2 macrophages-related genes for lymph node metastasis in BC. We downloaded the GSE158399 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which includes transcriptomic profiles of individual cells from primary tumors, negative lymph nodes (NLNs), and positive lymph nodes (PLNs) of breast cancer patients. The cell subsets were identified by clustering analysis after quality control of the scRNA-seq using Seurat. The activation and migration capability… More >

    SNSVM: SqueezeNet-Guided SVM for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    Jiaji Wang1, Muhammad Attique Khan2, Shuihua Wang1,3, Yudong Zhang1,3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 2201-2216, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.041191

    Abstract Breast cancer is a major public health concern that affects women worldwide. It is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Unfortunately, breast cancer can often go undetected until it has reached advanced stages, making it more difficult to treat. Therefore, there is a pressing need for accurate and efficient diagnostic tools to detect breast cancer at an early stage. The proposed approach utilizes SqueezeNet with fire modules and complex bypass to extract informative features from mammography images. The extracted features are then utilized to train a support vector machine (SVM)… More >

    Mehdi Hassan1,2, Safdar Ali3, Jin Young Kim2,*, Muhammad Sanaullah4, Hani Alquhayz5, Khushbakht Safdar6

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 1643-1663, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.038578

    Abstract Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is an important resistance protein that significantly impacts anticancer drug discovery, treatment, and rehabilitation. Early identification of BCRP substrates is quite a challenging task. This study aims to predict early substrate structure, which can help to optimize anticancer drug development and clinical diagnosis. For this study, a novel intelligent approach-based methodology is developed by modifying the ResNet101 model using transfer learning (TL) for automatic deep feature (DF) extraction followed by classification with linear discriminant analysis algorithm (TLRNDF-LDA). This study utilized structural fingerprints, which are exploited by DF contrary to conventional molecular descriptors. The proposed in… More >

    Abstract Backgorund: Fruits and seed extracts of Annona montana have significant cytotoxic potential in several cancer cells. This study evaluates the effect of A. montana leaves hexane extract on several signaling cascades and gene expression in metastatic breast cancer cells upon insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) stimulation. Methods: MTT assay was performed to determine the proliferation of cancer cells. Propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry analysis of Annexin V binding was utilized to measure the progression of the cell cycle and the induction of apoptosis. Protein expression and phosphorylation were determined by western blotting analysis to examine the underlying cellular mechanism triggered… More >

    Circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA in breast cancer diagnosis and monitoring

    EFFAT ALEMZADEH1, LEILA ALLAHQOLI2, HAMIDEH DEHGHAN3, AFROOZ MAZIDIMORADI4, ALIREZA GHASEMPOUR3, HAMID SALEHINIYA5,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.5, pp. 667-675, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.028406

    Abstract Liquid biopsy, including both circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA, is becoming more popular as a diagnostic tool in the clinical management of breast cancer. Elevated concentrations of these biomarkers during cancer treatment may be used as markers for cancer progression as well as to understand the mechanisms underlying metastasis and treatment resistance. Thus, these circulating markers serve as tools for cancer assessing and monitoring through a simple, non-invasive blood draw. However, despite several study results currently noting a potential clinical impact of ctDNA mutation tracking, the method is not used clinically in cancer diagnosis among patients and more… More > Graphic Abstract
