Abstract Purpose: Preclinical data suggest that antiprogestins inhibit the growth of luminal breast carcinomas express higher levels progesterone receptor isoform A (PRA) than B (PRB). Thus, we designed a presurgical window opportunity trial to determine therapeutic effects mifepristone in patients with cancer, based on their high PRA/PRB ratio (MIPRA; NCT02651844). Patients and Methods: Twenty > 1.5 (determined by Western blots), PR ≥ 50%, naïve from previous treatment, were included...
Abstract Progesterone receptors (PRs) ligands are being tested in luminal breast cancer. There mainly two PR isoforms, PRA and PRB, their ratio (PRA/PRB) may be predictive of antiprogestin response. Our aim was to investigate: the impact isoform on metastatic behaviour, paired primary tumours lymph node metastases (LNM) and, effect antiprogestin/progestins growth. Using murine human models, we demonstrated that with PRB > (PRB‐H) have a higher proliferation index but less ability than...
Background: The optimal cutoff value of calcitonin (Ctn) levels measured using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) obtained from the washout fluid fine needle aspiration (FNA-Ctn) for diagnosis medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is currently not established. We evaluated diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility FNA-Ctn location MTC in patients with nodular or multinodular goiters.

Históricamente, se indica únicamente pacientes que presenten Han aparecido nuevas terapias anticuerpos conjugados, podrían beneficiar a resultados LOW (score 2+ no amplificado score 1+) los representan 60% tumores negativos.

Currently, therapy for early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC) is based on the combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab plus chemotherapy in a neoadjuvant regimen. The INMUNOHER study aimed to detect immunological markers peripheral blood their association with treatment response. Sixty-two HER2+ BC patients were recruited. Pre-treatment samples obtained before start treatment, while post-treatment after completing surgery analyzed by flow...
Abstract Overcoming luminal breast cancer (BrCa) progression remains a critical challenge for improved overall patient survival. RUNX2 has emerged as protein related to aggressiveness in triple‐negative BrCa, however its role tumors elusive. We have previously shown that active FGFR2 (FGFR2‐CA) contributes increased tumor growth and expression was high hormone‐independent mouse mammary carcinomas. To elucidate the interaction between human we investigated their roles treatment...
Abstract Background: Different antiprogestins have been clinically evaluated in gynecological andbreast cancers. Mifepristone (MFP), as well onapristone and telapristone acetate, showedpartial responses breast cancer clinical trials. Preclinical data indicates that antiprogestinsinhibit cell proliferation of luminal carcinomas expressing higher levels progesteronereceptor isoform A (PRA) than those B (PRB) by western blots (WB). Thus,we designed a pre-surgical window trial to determine the...
