OBJECTIVE
This study tested a theory linking a marker of low serotonergic function to both depression and impulsivity in a sample of advanced breast cancer patients, among whom elevated depressive symptoms and difficulty regulating emotions are commonly reported.
METHODS
A total of 95 patients
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a widely prescribed class of antidepressants. Laboratory and epidemiologic evidence suggests that a prolactin-mediated mechanism secondary to increased serotonin levels at neuronal synapses could lead to a potentially carcinogenic effect of SSRIs.
BACKGROUND
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a popular class of antidepressants, may increase breast cancer risk by stimulating the secretion of prolactin, a potential tumour promoter. We evaluated the effects of duration of SSRI use, cumulative dose, and latency on the risk of breast
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association of the serotonin transport gene and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) in women following breast cancer surgery.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study.
METHODS
A comprehensive cancer center in Pittsburgh, PA.
METHODS
80 post-menopausal women treated surgically
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were introduced in 1987 and, by 1997, were prescribed to 58% of Americans receiving outpatient treatment for depression. In 1992, a study reported that one of the SSRIs, fluoxetine, accelerated the growth of mammary tumors in rodents. By use of data
BACKGROUND
Mixed evidence in the general population and medically ill patients has suggested that homozygous carriers of the short allele (s/s) of the serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) may increase the risk of depression in comparison with carriers of the long allele
Breast cancer is a serious and potentially lethal multi-factor disease among 40-50 aged women in both developed and developing countries. Also, various studies have pointed to roles of neurotransmitters like serotonin in development of cancers, through action on various types of receptors. This
Breast cancer metastasizes to the bone in a majority of patients with advanced disease resulting in bone destruction. The underlying mechanisms are complex, and both processes are controlled by an interaction between locally and systemically derived signals. Clinically, breast cancer patients with
OBJECTIVE
Among women with breast cancer, hot flashes are frequent, severe, and bothersome symptoms that can negatively impact quality of life and compromise compliance with life-saving medications (eg, tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors). Clinicians' abilities to treat hot flashes are limited due
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the significance of plasma free serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and Ca15.3 for the early detection of breast cancer recurrence.
METHODS
Free serotonin and Ca15.3 levels were measured by I-125-Serotonin RIA (DDV Diagnostica, Marburg, Germany) in plasma and an ELISA kit (Roche
BACKGROUND
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) decrease platelet-function, which suggests that SSRI use may increase the risk of post-surgical bleeding. Few studies have investigated this potential association.
METHODS
We conducted a population-based study of the risk of re-operation due
The combination of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide is a standard chemotherapy regimen for breast cancer. Nausea and vomiting are two common adverse effects that may lead to a significant deterioration in the patient's quality of life. We report on the provision of information by pharmacists
In this report, we highly recommend the coadministration of first-generation serotonin receptor antagonists, dexamethasone, and aprepitant for chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer receiving doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) chemotherapy. Aprepitant has an
Male breast cancer is a rare condition with very poorly understood risk factors. We report three cases of men with malignant and pre-malignant breast disease who had all been prescribed selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for depression. Concerns about an association between this group
BACKGROUND
Increased central serotonin sensitivity is hypothesized to contribute toward the development of cancer-related fatigue syndrome (CRFS).
OBJECTIVE
To compare the responses of breast cancer survivors with or without CRFS to the buspirone challenge test (an index of central serotonin
