Appraising adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy.
Tamoxifen, once the gold standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for early breast cancer, is being challenged by third-generation aromatase inhibitors (AIs) that have demonstrated improved disease-free survival in a variety of adjuvant settings for early breast cancer. Tamoxifen and AIs have different safety profiles, which should allow physicians to begin to individualize treatment based on a pati...
متن کاملUnderstanding the mechanisms and drivers of antimicrobial resistance.
To combat the threat to human health and biosecurity from antimicrobial resistance, an understanding of its mechanisms and drivers is needed. Emergence of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms is a natural phenomenon, yet antimicrobial resistance selection has been driven by antimicrobial exposure in health care, agriculture, and the environment. Onward transmission is affected by standard...
متن کاملAromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss.
273 A 49-year-old postmenopausal Caucasian woman named M.A. was diagnosed with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Anthracycline and taxane-based adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy were followed by adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor (AI). Before M.A. started adjuvant AI therapy, she was evaluated for any additiona...
متن کاملA nude mouse model of obesity to study the mechanisms of resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer progression. Breast cancer patients who are overweight or obese or have excess abdominal fat have an increased risk of local or distant recurrence and cancer-related death. Hormone depletion therapies can also cause weight gain, exacerbating the risk for these patients. To understand the effect of obesity on hormone-dependent human breast cancer tumors...
متن کاملAromatase over expression transgenic murine models for aromatase inhibitor studies.
In recent years the emerging importance of estrogen signaling in males in addition to its major role in the female reproductive system became highlighted. Aromatase is the key enzyme for synthesis of estrogens from androgens and is responsible for controlling the androgen/estrogen ratio. Inhibition of aromatase gene expression can be achieved in different ways and is important for the treatment...
