Gefitinib treatment in hormone-resistant and hormone receptor-negative advanced breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Acquired and de novo endocrine resistance in breast cancer (BC) may be associated with overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Gefinitib is an orally active selective EGFR inhibitor which might benefit advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients either with acquired hormone resistance or with hormone receptor (HR)-negative tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A two-arm multice...
متن کاملSteroidal Hormone Receptor Expression in Male Breast Cancer
Introduction: The etiology of male breast cancer is unclear, but hormonal levels may play a role in development of this disease. It seems that the risk of male breast cancer related to increased lifelong exposure to estrogen or reduced androgen. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the steroid hormone receptors including estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR...
متن کاملCDK inhibitors in hormone receptor positive advanced breast cancer
Endocrine treatment is the current first line treatment in ER+ advanced breast cancer with a requirement of predictive biomarkers to the treatment and different approaches for endocrine resistance risk. Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are regulating each step of cellular division in mammalian cell cycle and are hyperactivated in cancer cells causing cancer progression. Next generation pan-CDK i...
متن کاملPalbociclib in Hormone-Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer.
BACKGROUND Growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer is dependent on cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4 and CDK6), which promote progression from the G1 phase to the S phase of the cell cycle. We assessed the efficacy of palbociclib (an inhibitor of CDK4 and CDK6) and fulvestrant in advanced breast cancer. METHODS This phase 3 study involved 521 patients with advanced hormone-rece...
متن کاملDelaying Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Hormone Receptor–Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Negative Advanced Breast Cancer
Global guidelines for the management of locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive), human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (HER2-negative) breast cancer recommend endocrine therapy as first-line treatment for all patients, regardless of age or postmenopausal status. However, current practice patterns in the United States and Europe suggest that these modes of thera...
