Microwaves for breast cancer treatments

A Visualization Method for Breast Cancer Detection Using Microwaves

This paper proposes a qualitative approach to the inverse scattering problem of microwave tomography for breast cancer detection. In a 2D framework, the tumor inside the breast is regarded as an unknown scatterer placed inside an inhomogeneous and lossy background, formed by skin and fat. We firstly present in detail the mathematical formulation of the method, which is based on the reciprocity ...

Repurposing ARBs as treatments for breast cancer

Locoregional treatments for triple-negative breast cancer.

The absence of drug-targetable receptors in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) makes the use of targeted systemic therapy inappropriate for this breast cancer subgroup. Although patients with TNBC show sensitivity to some chemotherapy regimens, in early-stage disease greater emphasis is placed on locoregional treatments, based on surgery and radiation therapy (RT). Ongoing improvements in bot...

Preventive treatments for breast cancer: recent developments

Breast cancer is a burden for western societies, and an increasing one in emerging economies, because of its high incidence and enormous psychological, social, sanitary and economic costs. However, breast cancer is a preventable disease in a significant proportion. Recent developments in the armamentarium of effective drugs for breast cancer prevention (namely exemestane and anastrozole), the n...

Immunotherapy for Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer, as a heterogeneous disease, includes a wide range of pathological and clinical behaviors. Current treatment protocols, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone replacement therapy, are mainly associated with poor response and high rate of recurrence. Therefore, more efforts are needed to develop alternative therapies for this type of cancer. Immunotherapy, as a novel str...
