Abstract Background Endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer (BC) and triple-negative BC (TNBC) are of interest for molecularly informed treatment due to their aggressive natures limited profiles. Patients African Ancestry (AA) experience higher rates TNBC mortality than European (EA) patients, despite lower overall incidence. Here, we compare the molecular landscapes AA EA patients with in a real-world cohort promote equity precision oncology by illuminating heterogeneity potentially...

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread, it remains unclear how vulnerable populations with preexisting health conditions like cancer have been affected. Between July and September of 2020, authors conducted a cross-sectional study that surveyed 2661 patients breast who were registered in Chicago Multiethnic Epidemiologic Breast Cancer Cohort received 1300 responses (71.5% White 22.4% Black patients). The survey measured psychosocial well-being participants...

Abstract Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are useful for predicting breast cancer risk, but the prediction accuracy of existing PRSs in women African ancestry (AA) remains relatively low. We aim to develop optimal overall and estrogen receptor (ER) subtype-specific AA women. The dataset comprised 9235 cases 10 184 controls from four genome-wide association study (GWAS) consortia a GWAS Ghana. randomly divided samples into training validation sets. built using individual-level data by forward...

There are a paucity of data and pressing need to evaluate response neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) determine long-term outcomes in young Black women with early-stage breast cancer (EBC).We analyzed from 2196 White EBC treated at the University Chicago over last 2 decades. Patients were divided into groups based on race age diagnosis: [Formula: see text] 40 years, 55 years. Pathological complete rate (pCR) was using logistic regression.

To externally evaluate a mammography-based deep learning (DL) model (Mirai) in high-risk racially diverse population and compare its performance with other mammographic measures. A total of 6435 screening mammograms 2096 female patients (median age, 56.4 years ± 11.2 [SD]) enrolled hospital-based case-control study from 2006 to 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Pathologically confirmed breast cancer was the primary outcome. Mirai scores predictors. Breast density Imaging Reporting Data...

Spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) technologies have revolutionized the study of tissue organization. We introduce a graph convolutional network with an attention and positive emphasis mechanism, termed BINARY, relying exclusively on binarized SRT data to accurately delineate spatial domains. BINARY outperforms existing methods across various types while using significantly less input information. Our suggests that precise gene expression quantification may not always be essential,...

Abstract Given high costs of Oncotype DX (ODX) testing, widely used in recurrence risk assessment for early-stage breast cancer, studies have predicted ODX using quantitative clinicopathologic variables. However, such models incorporated only small cohorts. Using a cohort patients from the National Cancer Database (NCDB, n = 53,346), we trained machine learning to predict low-risk (0-25) or high-risk (26-100) estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone (PR)/Ki-67 status, ER/PR status alone, and no...

Abstract Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) assess symptom burden and health-related quality of life (HRQL) more accurately than clinical report. We previously found that treatment-emergent adverse events (CTCAE V3.0) did not impact efficacy in the main NCIC MA.27 trial, although many women discontinued treatment early. The purpose this substudy was to obtain PROs MA.27/E1Z03 participants evaluate treatment-related side effects HRQL between exemestane anastrozole identify predictors...
