ADSL-Generated Fumarate Binds and Inhibits STING to Promote Tumour Immune Evasion

Research Background In the tumor microenvironment, highly aggressive tumors evade immune system attacks by suppressing the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. The cGAS-STING pathway is a critical mechanism for cells to sense cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA and initiate immune responses. cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase) catalyzes the production of cGAMP upo...

TP53-Specific Mutations Serve as a Potential Biomarker for Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Breast Cancer: A Clinical Next-Generation Sequencing Study

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide, with a complex pathogenesis involving multiple gene mutations and signaling pathway abnormalities. Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) is a significant molecular characteristic in breast cancer, closely related to patients’ sensitivity to PARP inhibitor (PARPi) th...

Cell-Free Tumor DNA Analysis in Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients: Mutation Frequencies, Testing Intention, and Clinical Impact

Academic Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, particularly advanced or metastatic breast cancer, which is challenging to treat and has a poor prognosis. With the development of precision medicine, the role of molecular biomarkers in breast cancer treatment has become increasingly prominent. Circulating t...

Deep Learning-Based Multi-Modal Data Integration Enhancing Breast Cancer Disease-Free Survival Prediction

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide. Although early intervention and appropriate treatment have significantly improved patient survival rates, approximately 30% of cases still experience recurrence and distant metastasis, resulting in a 5-year survival rate of less than 23%. Traditional clinical prediction met...

Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Women Offered Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery as an Alternative to Mastectomy: ANTHEM Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with over 56,000 women diagnosed annually in the UK. Despite advancements in treatment, approximately 40% of patients still undergo mastectomy. While mastectomy effectively controls cancer, it profoundly impacts patients’ quality of life. Many women describe mastectomy as a “dis...

Neoadjuvant Nivolumab and Chemotherapy in Early Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial

Neoadjuvant Nivolumab and Chemotherapy in Early Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Academic Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) breast cancer accounting for the majority of cases. Although ER+/HER2−...

Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy in High-Risk, Early-Stage, ER+/HER2− Breast Cancer: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial

Pembrolizumab Combined with Chemotherapy in High-Risk, Early-Stage ER+/HER2− Breast Cancer: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial Academic Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with estrogen receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2−) breast cancer accounting for a significant pro...

USP35 Promotes Breast Cancer Progression by Regulating PFK-1 Ubiquitination to Mediate Glycolysis

USP35 Promotes Breast Cancer Progression by Regulating PFK-1 Ubiquitination to Mediate Glycolysis Academic Background Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor affecting women worldwide and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Despite the development of various treatment strategies for different molecular subtypes...

GLUT1-targeted near-infrared fluorescence molecular imaging for precise intraoperative detection of breast cancer

A Novel GLUT1-Targeted Fluorescence Imaging Tracer: Advances in Intraoperative Breast Cancer Detection Background and Problem Statement Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases and approximately 666,000 deaths globally in 2022. Surgical treatment for breast cancer typically ...
