These researchers stated that 3D printing is poised to revolutionize breast cancer surgery by allowing patient-specific pre-surgical planning and customized intra-operative surgical guides for breast conservation and reconstruction. Moreover, they noted that bioprinting and personalized radiation therapy are ...
Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy of women and with its incidence on the rise, the need to identify new targets for treatment is imperative. There is a growing interest in the role of lipid metabolism in cancer. Carnitine palmitoyl-transferase-1 (CPT-1); the rate limiting step in ...
Fiberoptic ductoscopy as a guide for resection of known breast intra-ductal cancer. Aetna considers fiberoptic ductoscopy (Acueity System, Acueity, Inc., Larkspur, CA) experimental, investigational, or unproven for breast cancer screening because of insufficient evidence in the peer-reviewed litera...
Transcriptional mechanisms epigenetically-regulated in tumoral tissues point out new targets for anti-cancer therapies. Carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (CPT1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the transport of long-chain fatty acids for β-oxidation. Here we identified the tumor specific nuclear CPT1A...
Results of the angiogenesis protein array showed that metformin treatment resulted in a great reduction of PDGF-B protein levels of 4T1 cancer cells in vitro (Fig. 6a and b), while the protein levels of some other factors were slightly affected. To validate this initial screening result, RNA...
The authors concluded that these data supported the clinical implementation of DBT in breast cancer screening; however, larger prospective trials are needed to validate our findings in specific patient subgroups.In an editorial on “Breast Cancer Screening.
