OBJECTIVE
The association of motilin, ghrelin, leptin, gastrin, pepsinogen (PG) I and II with cancer chemotherapy-associated dyspepsia syndrome (CADS) was investigated in 35 patients with breast cancer receiving first cycle of 5-fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, epirubicin (FEC60)
Cutaneous metastases from visceral carcinomas are relatively uncommon, with an overall incidence ranging from 0.7 to 9%. Diagnosis of scalp metastases usually escapes clinicians and dermatologists due to the fact that these metastases are mimicking other benign dermatological conditions. Herein, we
A 45-year-old woman who suffered from left breast cancer, 8 cm in diameter, with skin invasion and axillary lymph node involvement but no distant metastasis, underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. FEC100 consisting of 5-FU (500 mg/m(2)), epirubicin (100 mg/m(2)) and cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m(2)), were
Uncertainty remains about the optimal anti-emetic regimen for control of delayed nausea and vomiting after adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Many patients receive dexamethasone but complain of insomnia, anxiety/agitation, and indigestion. The aim was to determine if patients receiving

Dose-dense chemotherapy (DD-CT) is a preferred (neo) adjuvant regimen in early breast cancer (BC). Although the results of reported randomized trials are conflicting, a recent meta-analysis showed improved overall and disease-free survival with DD-CT compared to conventional schedules.
Breast cancer metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are rare, with a median time interval from the diagnosis of the primary tumor to metastasis up to 7 years. The stomach is the most frequent metastatic site and invasive lobular carcinoma is the type with the highest affinity to the digestive
Hypercalcemia associated with breast cancer arises either from metastatic bone disease or from paraneoplastic secretion of parathyroid hormone-related peptide. We report a female 69-year-old patient with invasive intraductal breast cancer and hypercalcemia (3,4 mmol/l) referred to endocrinologist.
BACKGROUND
Several studies have evaluated the clinical effectiveness of endocrine therapy alone in women aged 70 years or over and who are fit for surgery.
OBJECTIVE
To identify and review the evidence from randomised trials comparing primary endocrine therapy (endocrine therapy alone) to surgery,
Adjuvant bisphosphonates reduce the rate of breast cancer recurrence in the bone and improve breast cancer survival. However, the risk of adverse events associated with bisphosphonate therapy for breast cancer remains poorly defined.A literature search was
The authors describe a fatal case of gastric perforation secondary to an ulcerated metastasis in a woman with undiagnosed breast cancer. The 48-year-old woman, with no significant medical history, presented with weight loss, persistent dyspepsia and pain in the epigastric and mesogastric region. She
A large number of studies have proven the efficacy of ayurveda in the field of health and wellness. Panchakola, an ayurvedic formulation, is a general health tonic primarily used to cure fever, inflammation, pain, indigestion, and so on. We investigated effects of panchakola on oxidative stress in
BACKGROUND
In patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC), combined treatment of herceptin (H) and chemotherapy (CT) improves time to progression, response rates and survival compared with CT alone.
METHODS
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of weekly Docetaxel combined with weekly
Background: Elacestrant is an oral selective estrogen receptor (ER) degrader. This phase 1b open-label, non-randomized study (RAD1901-106) was initiated to determine the effect of elacestrant on the availability of ER in lesions from
N,N-diethyl-2-[4-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy] ethanamine.HCl (DPPE) is a diphenylmethane analog of tamoxifen that antagonizes the intracellular binding of histamine to growth-regulatory sites, a proportion of which represents P450 enzymes, in microsomes and nuclei. We previously reported increased
OBJECTIVE
Many women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer discontinue effective aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment due to joint symptoms.
METHODS
We conducted a single-arm, open-label, phase II study evaluating glucosamine-sulfate (1,500 mg/day) + chondroitin-sulfate (1,200 mg/day) for 24
