APE1 protects epithelial cells by inhibiting the accumulation of ROS and oxidative DNA damage induced by intestinal bacteria, including the colibactin produced by E. coli NC101.
Comprehensive CYP2D6 profiling improves phenotype assignment and highlights methodological pitfalls that may contribute to inconsistencies in pharmacogenetic studies. While no definitive association with clinical outcomes was observed in the overall cohort, these findings underscore the importance of analytically robust genotyping strategies and warrant validation in larger, prospectively designed cohorts, and highlight the importance of comprehensive genotyping strategies in resolving inconsistencies across pharmacogenetic studies.
Available breast cancer-specific data are largely retrospective and suggest clinically meaningful but attenuated weight loss compared with pivotal obesity trials, with concurrent aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen use associated with smaller reductions...Studies also suggest potential survivorship benefits relevant to lymphedema and cardio-oncology, although causality is unproven. Prospective cancer-specific trials and implementation studies are needed to define safety; optimal timing; patient selection; and effects on oncologic outcomes, function, and quality of life.
MTT and colony formation assays identified compound 1 as the most potent antiproliferative agent, with an IC50 of 6.53 μM in MCF-7 cells, which outperformed tamoxifen under identical experimental conditions...Taken together, these observations establish compound 1 as a promising antitumor lead scaffold for subsequent structural modification. Further investigations regarding its selectivity profile, systemic toxicity, pharmacokinetic properties, and in vivo therapeutic efficacy are therefore warranted.
Herein, we developed drug-conjugated Tam-NHC-gold(I) complexes that can target breast cancer cells by the binding of tamoxifen (Tam) to the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) present on cell membranes...Moreover, 7b exhibited potent antiproliferative activity on both wild-type and mutant MCF-7Y537S in xenograft mouse models with low toxicity. This study verified that 7b may offer a new approach for the treatment of endocrine-resistant breast cancer.

Among studies with medium-term follow-up (3-5.5 years), no significant increase in recurrence or mortality attributable to FP was identified; long-term data beyond 5 years remain sparse. Substantial heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis; all synthesis is narrative. Standardized outco reporting and larger prospective subtype-stratified studies are required to establish precision oncofertility recommendations.

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) demonstrates a documented predilection for unusual metastatic patterns including the female genital tract, while tamoxifen-associated endometrial pathology may complicate diagnosis in breast cancer survivors...Endometrial sampling should be considered with a low threshold in breast cancer survivors with abnormal uterine bleeding, and breast imaging is warranted when discohesive cells are encountered without a known breast primary. These proportions describe the published case literature rather than population-based prevalence; because the evidence is limited to case reports and small series, they should not be read as the true frequency of uterine involvement among women with breast cancer.
We designed 20a, a novel ERα degrader based on the OBHSA scaffold with a hydrophobic amantadine tag. The latter effect creates synthetic lethality with Olaparib. Our findings elucidate the multi-mechanistic antitumor profile of 20a, highlighting its potential as a next-generation therapeutic for endocrine-resistant ERα-positive BC.

The ESR1-MYH14 signaling axis drives cervical cancer growth and metastasis. Targeting this pathway may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer management.
These findings suggest that tamoxifen enhances cisplatin-based combination therapy by promoting cell death in canine osteosarcoma at reduced drug concentrations. Combination therapies targeting estrogen-independent pathways may represent a promising strategy for improving treatment response in metastatic canine osteosarcoma and warrant further investigation.
and p.Pro264Thr) were identified and further evaluated using adapted in silico prediction strategies, compared with patients' phenotypes and published in vitro data. Comprehensive CYP2D6 sequencing improved gene profiling accuracy in our preselected cohort, while highlighting the remaining challenges of rare variant interpretation in pharmacogenetics-guided therapeutic drug monitoring.
