Abstract
Many benign and malignant breast entities can present with diffuse unilateral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The unilateral breast findings can be broken down into three broad categories including asymmetric diffuse masses/non-mass enhancement (NME), diffuse unilateral skin thickening, and diffuse asymmetric background enhancement. Although correlation with clinical history is always necessary, biopsy is often needed to make a definitive diagnosis. There are some findings on MRI which can help narrow the differential including morphology, distribution, T2W signal, enhancement kinetics, and associated skin thickening. Malignant entities which will be discussed in this review include ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, Paget disease, inflammatory breast cancer, and locally advanced breast cancer. Benign entities which will be discussed in this review include idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM), infectious mastitis, pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, giant fibroadenoma, early and late radiation changes, unilateral breast feeding, and central venous obstruction, all which have varied MRI appearances. It is important for radiologists to be familiar with the common entities that can present with diffuse asymmetric unilateral MRI breast findings to ensure the correct diagnosis and management is undertaken.

Abstract
Chalcones have been utilized for centuries as foods and medicines across various cultures and traditions worldwide. This paper concisely overviews their biosynthesis as specialized metabolites in plants and their significance, potential, efficacy, and possibility as future medicines. This is followed by a more in-depth exploration of naturally occurring chalcones and their corresponding mechanisms of action in human bodies. Based on their mechanisms of action, chalcones exhibit many pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimalarial, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. Novel naturally occurring chalcones are also recognized as potential antidiabetic drugs, and their effect on the GLUT-4 transporter is investigated. In addition, they are examined for their anti-inflammatory effects, focusing on chalcones used for future pharmaceutical utilization. Chalcones also bind to specific receptors and toxins that prevent bacterial and viral infections. Chalcones exhibit physiological protective effects on the biological degradation of different systems, including demyelinating neurodegenerative diseases and preventing hypertension or hyperlipidemia. Chalcones that are/were in clinical trials have been included as a separate section. By revealing the many biological roles of chalcones and their impact on medicine, this paper underlines the significance of naturally occurring chalcones and their extension to patient care, providing the audience with an index of topic-relevant information.

Guideline-Concordant Surgical Care for Lobular Versus Ductal Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:5929-5936. [PMID: 38886328 PMCID: PMC11300632 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-15540-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Quality of surgical care is understudied for lobular inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), which is less common, more chemotherapy-resistant, and more mammographically occult than ductal IBC. We compared guideline-concordant surgery (modified radical mastectomy [MRM] without immediate reconstruction following chemotherapy) for lobular versus ductal IBC. METHODS Female individuals with cT4dM0 lobular and ductal IBC were identified in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) from 2010-2019. Modified radical mastectomy receipt was identified via codes for "modified radical mastectomy" or "mastectomy" and "≥10 lymph nodes removed" (proxy for axillary lymph node dissection). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and t-tests were used. RESULTS A total of 1456 lobular and 10,445 ductal IBC patients were identified; 599 (41.1%) with lobular and 4859 (46.5%) with ductal IBC underwent MRMs (p = 0.001). Patients with lobular IBC included a higher proportion of individuals with cN0 disease (20.5% lobular vs. 13.7% ductal) and no lymph nodes examined at surgery (31.2% vs. 24.5%) but were less likely to be node-negative at surgery (12.7% vs. 17.1%, all p < 0.001). Among those who had lymph nodes removed at surgery, patients with lobular IBC also had fewer lymph nodes excised versus patients with ductal IBC (median [interquartile range], 7 (0-15) vs. 9 (0-17), p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Lobular IBC patients were more likely to present with node-negative disease and less likely to be node-negative at surgery, despite having fewer, and more frequently no, lymph nodes examined versus ductal IBC patients. Future studies should investigate whether these treatment disparities are because of surgical approach, pathologic assessment, and/or data quality as captured in the NCDB.

Abstract
Implant-based reconstructions are increasingly utilized following mastectomy in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. However, these implants are associated with a high rate of infection, which is a major complication that can lead to implant removal, delay in adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy, and increase in health care costs. Early clinical signs and symptoms of infection, such as erythema, warmth, and tenderness, are challenging to discern from expected postsurgical responses. Furthermore, when atypical features are present or the patient's condition does not improve on adequate antimicrobials, the clinician should be prompted to consider an alternative noninfectious etiology. Herein we highlight the key elements of the preventive, diagnostic, and multidisciplinary therapeutic approach to salvaging the infected breast implant; review several infectious disease mimickers; and provide many pearls of wisdom that the practicing clinician must be familiar with and be able to manage in an effective and successful manner.

ESR Essentials: diagnostic work-up in patients with symptomatic breast disease-practice recommendations by the European Society of Breast Imaging. Eur Radiol 2024:10.1007/s00330-024-10980-5. [PMID: 39085641 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-024-10980-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Breast complaints are frequent reasons for consultations in primary care or breast clinics. Breast pain, breast lumps, and nipple discharge are the most common complaints. Less common symptoms such as skin changes and axillary abnormalities also require specific diagnostic approaches. Imaging the symptomatic breast should be performed by appropriately trained breast radiologists following the best practice guidelines and quality standards. Full-field digital mammography (FFDM), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), and breast ultrasound (US) are the main modalities used in this primary setting. The choice depends on the patient's age and symptoms. Women younger than 30-years-old are first imaged by US, whereas women over 40-years-old usually require both FFDM or DBT and US. For women between 30-years-old and 40-years-old, the US is the modality of choice, whereas FFDM or DBT might also be performed if needed. Pregnant or lactating women with palpable lesions or nipple discharge are imaged with US as the first method; FFDM or DBT can also be performed depending on the degree of suspicion as the dose to the fetus is minimal, and shielding may even further reduce the dose. More advanced techniques such as breast magnetic resonance imaging or contrast-enhanced mammography are not indicated in this first diagnostic setting and are reserved for cases of established malignancy (local staging) or rare cases of equivocal findings not otherwise resolved or inflammatory breast cancer. Last, but not least, male breast symptoms should also be addressed with US and/or FFDM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: It is equally important to correctly diagnose an underlying malignancy and to avoid false positives that would lead to unnecessary biopsies, increased costs, and anxiety for the patient. Proper use of imaging modalities ensures optimal diagnostic approach and minimizes false negatives. KEY POINTS: Ultrasound, full-field digital mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis are the main imaging modalities in the diagnostic setting, while MRI or contrast-enhanced mammography should be reserved to selected cases. Initial imaging modality includes ultrasound combined with mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis depending on women's age and the presence (or not) of inconclusive findings. A negative imaging evaluation should not deter biopsy when a highly suspicious finding is found on physical examination.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), a rare and highly aggressive form of breast cancer, accounts for 10% of breast cancer-related deaths. Previous omics studies of IBC have focused solely on one of genomics or transcriptomics and did not discover common differences that could distinguish IBC from non-IBC. METHODS Seventeen IBC patients and five non-IBC patients as well as additional thirty-three Asian breast cancer samples from TCGA-BRCA were included for the study. We performed whole-exon sequencing (WES) to investigate different somatic genomic alterations, copy number variants, and large structural variants between IBC and non-IBC. Bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to examine the differentially expressed genes, pathway enrichment, and gene fusions. WES and RNA-seq data were further investigated in combination to discover genes that were dysregulated in both genomics and transcriptomics. RESULTS Copy number variation analysis identified 10 cytobands that showed higher frequency in IBC. Structural variation analysis showed more frequent deletions in IBC. Pathway enrichment and immune infiltration analysis indicated increased immune activation in IBC samples. Gene fusions including CTSC-RAB38 were found to be more common in IBC. We demonstrated more commonly dysregulated RAS pathway in IBC according to both WES and RNA-seq. Inhibitors targeting RAS signaling and its downstream pathways were predicted to possess promising effects in IBC treatment. CONCLUSION We discovered differences unique in Asian women that could potentially explain IBC etiology and presented RAS signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target in IBC treatment.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare yet aggressive form of invasive ductal carcinoma, with a poor prognosis and decreased 5-year survival rates. Characteristic findings for IBC include rapid onset of breast edema, peau d'orange appearance, and involvement of the breast skin. Additionally, diagnosis is confirmed with a skin punch biopsy. With such nonspecific features, IBC can be mistaken for benign etiologies, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. This patient is a 44-year-old woman presenting with left breast swelling while concurrently breastfeeding. Following antibiotic treatment but no symptom resolution, the patient was referred out for further follow-up. Despite multiple imaging studies, suggesting benign findings, clinical suspicion prompted continued evaluation and finally diagnosis of triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer with distant metastases. Further awareness of the presentation of IBC and its mimicking of other disease processes such as mastitis is paramount to earlier detection and improved outcomes in future patients.

Abstract
Purpose Inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase with simvastatin prevents breast cancer metastases in preclinical models and radiosensitizes monolayer and stem-like IBC cell lines in vitro . Given the extensive use of simvastatin worldwide and its expected penetration into the brain, we examined whether regulating cholesterol with simvastatin affected IBC3 HER2+ brain metastases. Methods and Materials Breast cancer cell lines KPL4 and MDA-IBC3 were examined in vitro for DNA repair after radiation with or without statin treatment. Brain metastasis endpoints were examined in the MDA-IBC3 brain metastasis model after ex vivo exposure to lipoproteins and after tail vein injections with and without whole-brain radiotherapy (WBR) and oral statin exposure. Results Ex vivo preculture of MDA-IBC3 cells with very low-density lipoprotein (vLDL) enhanced the growth of colonized lesions in the brain in vivo compared with control or high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and concurrent oral simvastatin/ WBR reduced the incidence of micrometastatic lesions evaluated 10 days after WBR. However, statin, with or without WBR, did not reduce the incidence, burden, or number of macrometastatic brain lesions evaluated 5 weeks after WBR. Conclusions Although a role for cholesterol biosynthesis is demonstrated in DNA repair and response to whole brain radiation in this model, durable in vivo efficacy of concurrent whole brain irradiation and oral statin was not demonstrated.

Abstract
Several breast pathologies can affect the skin, and clinical pathways might differ significantly depending on the underlying diagnosis. This study investigates the feasibility of using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to differentiate skin pathologies in breast MRIs. This retrospective study included 88 female patients who underwent diagnostic breast MRI (1.5 or 3T), including DWI. Skin areas were manually segmented, and the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) were compared between different pathologies: inflammatory breast cancer (IBC; n = 5), benign skin inflammation (BSI; n = 11), Paget's disease (PD; n = 3), and skin-involved breast cancer (SIBC; n = 11). Fifty-eight women had healthy skin (H; n = 58). The SIBC group had a significantly lower mean ADC than the BSI and IBC groups. These differences persisted for the first-order features of the ADC (mean, median, maximum, and minimum) only between the SIBC and BSI groups. The mean ADC did not differ significantly between the BSI and IBC groups. Quantitative DWI assessments demonstrated differences between various skin-affecting pathologies, but did not distinguish clearly between all of them. More extensive studies are needed to assess the utility of quantitative DWI in supplementing the diagnostic assessment of skin pathologies in breast imaging.

Abstract
Cancer poses intricate challenges to treatment due to its complexity and diversity. Ferroptosis and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as innovative therapeutic avenues amid the evolving landscape of cancer therapy. Extensive investigations into circRNAs reveal their diverse roles, ranging from molecular regulators to pivotal influencers of ferroptosis in cancer cell lines. The results underscore the significance of circRNAs in modulating molecular pathways that impact crucial aspects of cancer development, including cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis. A detailed analysis delineates these pathways, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms through which circRNAs influence ferroptosis. Building upon recent experimental findings, the study evaluates the therapeutic potential of targeting circRNAs to induce ferroptosis. By identifying specific circRNAs associated with the etiology of cancer, this analysis paves the way for the development of targeted therapeutics that exploit vulnerabilities in cancer cells. This review consolidates the existing understanding of ferroptosis and circRNAs, emphasizing their role in cancer therapy and providing impetus for ongoing research in this dynamic field.

Abstract
Breast cancer surgery is the primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer. However, inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), with its specific presentation characterized by skin invasion, is unfit for primary surgery. According to the different guidelines, the management of IBC is trimodal with the coordination of oncologists, surgeons, and radiation therapists. Advances in breast cancer imaging and the development of more targeted therapies make new challenges for this aggressive cancer. This chapter aims to provide an update on the role of surgery in IBC. Radical surgery is still considered the standard surgical treatment in IBC. Some authors suggest a conservative surgery in patients with a clinical response to chemotherapy without affecting survival. For lymph node surgery, the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is not feasible in IBC patients, according to the existing studies. However, prospective studies on SLNB are needed to verify its reliability after chemotherapy for a specific group of patients. In the metastatic IBC, surgery can be considered if there is a good response after chemotherapy or for uncontrolled symptoms. Existing studies showed that surgery may impact survival for these patients. Prospective studies are mandatory to optimize IBC management, considering factors such as tumor's molecular profile.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of skin metastasis in women with internal malignancies. This report highlights an atypical case of cutaneous metastasis of breast cancer (CMBC) in a 66-year-old woman. Starting four months before her dermatology consultation, the patient underwent a chemotherapy regimen comprising pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and vinorelbine for right breast cancer, right axillary lymph node enlargement, and bone metastases. After commencing chemotherapy, erythematous macules appeared around her right nipple. Subsequently, the cutaneous lesions developed into annular erythematous patches around her right nipple and began to coalesce and expand to the contralateral breast. A skin biopsy revealed dysplastic cells indicative of metastasis from invasive ductal carcinoma. In addition, lymphovascular tumor cell invasion was noted in the reticular dermis. Based on these clinical progressions and histopathologic findings, a diagnosis of CMBC was made, specifically considering the possibility of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The patient continued the same chemotherapy regimen for 17 cycles, which improved the skin lesions, but she succumbed to breast cancer two years later. This case emphasizes the importance of considering CMBC in breast cancer patients with expanding, treatment-resistant thoracic cutaneous lesions, especially in aggressive subtypes like IBC. The diverse presentations of CMBC require thorough histopathological evaluation.

Abstract
Several studies show that a significantly stronger association is obvious between increased body mass index (BMI) and higher breast cancer incidence. Additionally, obese and postmenopausal women are at higher risk of all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality compared with non-obese women with breast cancer. In this context, increased levels of estrogens, excessive aromatization activity of the adipose tissue, overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, insulin resistance, adipocyte-derived adipokines, hypercholesterolemia, and excessive oxidative stress contribute to the development of breast cancer in obese women. Genetic evaluation is an integral part of diagnosis and treatment for patients with breast cancer. Despite trimodality therapy, the four-year cumulative incidence of regional recurrence is significantly higher. Axillary lymph nodes as well as primary lesions have diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance for the management of breast cancer. In clinical setting, because of the obese population primary lesions and enlarged lymph nodes could be less palpable, the diagnosis may be challenging due to misinterpretation of physical findings. Thereby, a nomogram has been created as the "Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System" (BI-RADS) to increase agreement and decision-making consistency between mammography and ultrasonography (USG) experts. Additionally, the "breast density classification system," "artificial intelligence risk scores," ligand-targeted receptor probes," "digital breast tomosynthesis," "diffusion-weighted imaging," "18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography," and "dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)" are important techniques for the earlier detection of breast cancers and to reduce false-positive results. A high concordance between estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status evaluated in preoperative percutaneous core needle biopsy and surgical specimens is demonstrated. Breast cancer surgery has become increasingly conservative; however, mastectomy may be combined with any axillary procedures, such as sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and/or axillary lymph node dissection whenever is required. As a rule, SLNB-guided axillary dissection in breast cancer patients who have clinically axillary lymph node-positive to node-negative conversion following neoadjuvant chemotherapy is recommended, because lymphedema is the most debilitating complication after any axillary surgery. There is no clear consensus on the optimal treatment of occult breast cancer, which is much discussed today. Similarly, the current trend in metastatic breast cancer is that the main palliative treatment option is systemic therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is currently the most prevalent form of cancer worldwide. Nevertheless, there remains limited clarity regarding our understanding of the tumor microenvironment and metabolic characteristics associated with it. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are the predominant transmembrane transporters found in organisms. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the role of ABC transporters in breast cancer. Transcriptome data from breast cancer patients were downloaded from the TCGA database. ABC transporter-related genes were obtained from the Genecards database. By LASSO regression, ABC-associated prognostic signature was constructed in breast cancer. Subsequently, immune microenvironment analysis was performed. Finally, cell experiments were performed to verify the function of ABCB7 in the breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Using the ABC transporter-associated signature, we calculated a risk score for each breast cancer patient. Patients with breast cancer were subsequently categorized into high-risk and low-risk groups, utilizing the median risk score as the threshold. Notably, patients in the high-risk group exhibited significantly worse prognosis (P<0.05). Additionally, differences were observed in terms of immune cell infiltration levels, immune correlations, and gene expression of immune checkpoints between the two groups. Functional experiments conducted on breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 demonstrated that ABCB7 knockdown significantly diminished cell activity, proliferation, invasion, and migration. These findings emphasize the significance of understanding ABC transporter-mediated metabolic and transport characteristics in breast cancer, offering promising directions for further research and potential therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to utilize a computational methodology based on Gene Reversal Rate (GRR) scoring to repurpose existing drugs for a rare and understudied cancer: inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). This method uses IBC-related gene expression signatures (GES) and drug-induced gene expression profiles from the LINCS database to calculate a GRR score for each candidate drug, and is based on the idea that a compound that can counteract gene expression changes of a disease may have potential therapeutic applications for that disease. Genes related to IBC with associated differential expression data (265 up-regulated and 122 down-regulated) were collated from PubMed-indexed publications. Drug-induced gene expression profiles were downloaded from the LINCS database and candidate drugs to treat IBC were predicted using their GRR scores. Thirty-two (32) drug perturbations that could potentially reverse the pre-compiled list of 297 IBC genes were obtained using the LINCS Canvas Browser (LCB) analysis. Binary combinations of the 32 perturbations were assessed computationally to identify combined perturbations with the highest GRR scores, and resulted in 131 combinations with GRR greater than 80%, that reverse up to 264 of the 297 genes in the IBC-GES. The top 35 combinations involve 20 unique individual drug perturbations, and 19 potential drug candidates. A comprehensive literature search confirmed 17 of the 19 known drugs as having either anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory activities. AZD-7545, BMS-754807, and nimesulide target known IBC relevant genes: PDK, Met, and COX, respectively. AG-14361, butalbital, and clobenpropit are known to be functionally relevant in DNA damage, cell cycle, and apoptosis, respectively. These findings support the use of the GRR approach to identify drug candidates and potential combination therapies that could be used to treat rare diseases such as IBC.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) presents as rapid-onset swelling and breast skin changes caused by tumor emboli in the breast and breast skin lymphatics. IBC has been linked with obesity and duration of breastfeeding, but how these factors affect IBC tumor progression is not clear. We modeled the simultaneous effects of diet and weaning in mice on in vivo lymphatic function; on IBC tumor growth; and on aspects of the mammary gland microenvironment before and after IBC (SUM149) xenograft inoculation. We hypothesized that weaning status and diet would have synergistic effects on lymphatic function and the breast microenvironment to enhance IBC tumor growth. Changes in lymphatic structure and function were characterized with in vivo near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging. Mice were fed either a high-fat diet (HFD; 60 kcal%) or a normal/low-fat diet (LFD; 10 kcal%), bred twice, and subjected to either normal-duration nursing (NW) or forced weaning (FW). SUM149 IBC tumors were implanted at 14 months; images were obtained before and after implantation. Multiparous mice fed HFD showed increased pre-tumor lymphatic pulsing in both the FW and NW groups relative to mice fed LFD. HFD promoted tumor growth independent of weaning time (P = 0.04). Pre-tumor lymphatic pulsing was associated with tumor volume at 8 weeks (P = 0.02) and was significantly correlated with expression of the lymphatic tracking ligand CCL21 (P = 0.05, Table 1). HFD significantly increased the numbers of monocyte-derived IBA1+, CD163+, and CD11c+ cells (P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, P = 0.0005) in the contralateral, non-tumor-bearing mammary gland. Numbers of lymphangiogenic podoplanin+/IBA1+ macrophages were increased in the ducts of HFD and FW mice (all P < 0.003). HFD in nulliparous mice had a similar increase in lymphatic pulsing at 14 weeks (P = 0.006), indicating that this functional change was independent of parity. We conclude that HFD induced increases in mammary gland lymphatic function, assessed as pulsing rate before tumor initiation, and correlated with inflammation in the mammary gland and increased SUM149 tumor growth. The relationship between diet, lymphatic pulsing, and tumor growth warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer with a poor survival rate. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with negative pathologic margins is critical for improved survival. We aim to study the potential benefit of intraoperative frozen section analysis (FSA) to improve disease-free margins. METHODS This prospective, monocentric study included 19 patients who underwent MRM for IBC. For each patient, a 2 mm continuous skin edge was sent for FSA to guide further resection. The rate of tumor-free margins and the concurrence between the FSA and permanent pathological results were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 15 of the 19 patients achieved negative margins, including four patients who would have had positive margins without FSA. The odds ratio of achieving a negative final margin with FSA was infinity (p = 0.031), and there was a strong agreement between the FSA and permanent pathological results (Kappa-0.83; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The FSA technique decreased the number of positive margins in IBC patients undergoing MRM, thereby potentially reducing the need for re-operation, allowing immediate wound closure, and preventing delays in the administration of adjuvant radiation therapy. More extensive trials are warranted to establish the use of intraoperative FSA in IBC treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence rate of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is higher among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) than non-Hispanic White (NHW) women. We examined the differences in treatment and outcomes between NHB and NHW women with IBC, accounting for demographic, clinicopathological, and socioeconomic factors. METHODS We collected data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database for NHB and NHW women with IBC diagnosed between 2010-2016. We analyzed the odds of receiving chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery between NHB and NHW women. We evaluated overall survival (OS) with Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards methods. Competing risk analysis was used to compare the risk of breast cancer death between NHB and NHW women. We also evaluated the magnitude of survival disparities within the strata of demographic, socioeconomic, and treatment factors. RESULTS Among 1,652 NHW and 371 NHB women with IBC, the odds of receiving chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation were similar for NHB and NHW. After 39-month follow-up, the median OS was 40 and 81 months for NHB and NHW, respectively (p < 0.0001). The risk of breast cancer death was higher for NHB than NHW women (5-year risk of breast cancer death, 51% vs. 35%, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION After adjustment for demographic, clinicopathological, and socioeconomic factors; NHB women with IBC had similar odds of receiving surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, but were more likely to die of the disease compared to their NHW counterparts. Our findings suggest the presence of masked tumor biology, treatment, or socioeconomic factors associated with race that can lead to worse IBC outcomes.

Abstract
Breast reconstruction is generally discouraged in women with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) due to concerns with recurrence and poor long-term survival. We aim to determine contemporary trends and predictors of breast reconstruction and its impact on oncologic outcomes among women with IBC. A systematic literature review for all studies published up to 15 September 2022 was conducted via MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Studies comparing women diagnosed with IBC undergoing a mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction were evaluated. The initial search yielded 225 studies, of which nine retrospective cohort studies, reporting 2781 cases of breast reconstruction in 29,058 women with IBC, were included. In the past two decades, immediate reconstruction rates have doubled. Younger age, higher income (>USD 25,000), private insurance, metropolitan residence, and bilateral mastectomy were associated with immediate reconstruction. No significant difference was found in overall survival, breast cancer-specific survival or recurrence rates between women undergoing versus not undergoing (immediate or delayed) reconstruction. There is a paucity of data on delayed breast reconstruction following IBC. Immediate breast reconstruction may be a consideration for select patients with IBC, although prospective data is needed to clarify its safety.

Abstract
There is no doubt that significant progress has been made in tumor therapy in the past decades. However, the discovery of new molecules with potential antitumor properties still remains one of the most significant challenges in the field of anticancer therapy. Nature, especially plants, is a rich source of phytochemicals with pleiotropic biological activities. Among a plethora of phytochemicals, chalcones, the bioprecursors of flavonoid and isoflavonoids synthesis in higher plants, have attracted attention due to the broad spectrum of biological activities with potential clinical applications. Regarding the antiproliferative and anticancer effects of chalcones, multiple mechanisms of action including cell cycle arrest, induction of different forms of cell death and modulation of various signaling pathways have been documented. This review summarizes current knowledge related to mechanisms of antiproliferative and anticancer effects of natural chalcones in different types of malignancies including breast cancers, cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, lung cancers, renal and bladder cancers, and melanoma.

Tetramethylpyrazine-Rhein Derivative inhibits the migration of canine inflammatory mammary carcinoma cells by mitochondrial damage-mediated apoptosis and cadherins downregulation. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 162:114731. [PMID: 37086510 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Canine inflammatory mammary carcinoma (CIMC) has a high incidence of metastasis, high lethality, and poor prognosis, which needs novel adjuvant agents. Tetramethylpyrazine-Rhein Derivative (TRD) has been shown to have antitumor activity, which is a potential research direction for CIMC. PURPOSE This study evaluated the efficacy of TRD on CIMC in vitro and in vivo, and provided possibilities for the application of active compounds in traditional Chinese medicine. METHODS In vitro, TRD cytotoxicity was measured with CCK-8. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscope were used to detect the cell cycle, cell death, and changes in mitochondria. Wound-healing assay, cell invasion assay, and scanning electron microscope were used to evaluate the suppression of cell migration and invasion. Expression changes were detected by RT-qPCR and western blot assay. In vivo, the lung metastasis models were randomly divided into control, low-dose TRD, high-dose TRD, and positive groups. Each group was administered orally once a day for 18 days and took in vivo imaging photos. RESULTS The IC50 of TRD in CHMp and MDCK were 42.59 and 79.37 μM, respectively. TRD mediated cell apoptosis by mitochondrial damage and caused S and G2/M phase arrest by downregulating cyclin B1. Moreover, TRD reduced filopodia and inhibited cell migration by downregulating cadherins. In CIMC lung metastasis models, TRD could effectively inhibit tumor growth (P < 0.001) in the lungs without significant toxicity. CONCLUSION TRD showed potential activity to inhibit CIMC lung metastasis with multi-target and low toxicity.

The value, diagnostic efficacy and clinical significance of functional magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1132186.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer (BC) is a common malignant tumor in female. In recent years, with the change of fertility pattern and lifestyle, the incidence of breast cancer is increasing year by year, seriously endangering the health and life of women. MRI is suitable for follow-up evaluation of the course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in LABC, but there are few related studies and reports. Based on the above background, it is necessary to further evaluate the value of functional magnetic resonance imaging in neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple negative breast cancer, so as to lay a theoretical foundation for the popularization and application of this detection method. Based on this, this study was to explore the value, diagnostic efficacy and clinical importance of functional magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Methods A total of 62 patients with triple-negative breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy in our hospital from September 2017 to September 2022 were selected. To compare the differences of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) between effective and ineffective patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the related data were statistically analyzed. Results There was no significant difference between the mode of tumor withdrawal and the pathological complete remission of tumor tissue (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in anti-Trop-2 antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) data before and after chemotherapy between over-expressed patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) and non-over-expressed patients with HER-2 (P>0.05). The levels of ADC and Δ ADC in pathological complete remission patients after chemotherapy were significantly higher than those in non-pathological complete remission patients (P<0.05). Using the ΔADC value as the evaluation parameter, the pathological response of tumor tissue was classified as the "gold standard" to draw the ROC curve, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.673, the cut-off of ΔADC to evaluate the significant response of tumor tissue after chemotherapy was 1.418, the sensitivity of evaluating the efficacy was 71.9%, and the specificity was 55.0%. Conclusion Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has diagnostic value for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple negative breast cancer. According to the change of ADC value, the curative effect can be predicted early and the treatment strategy can be adjusted in time.

Abstract
BMSCs promote breast cancer development mainly through tumor microenvironment pathway and secreting exosomes. However, the mechanism is unclear. This study mainly explores whether BMSC-derived exosomes influence breast cancer by mediating Hedgehog signaling pathway. MCF-7 and BMSC were
cultured and then assigned into MCF-7 +Vehicle group, MCF-7+ Exosome group, and MCF-7+Exosome+Gant61 (Hedgehog signaling blocker) group followed by analysis of cell proliferation and migration, p-Akt and β-catenin expression. MCF-7+Exosome group had the highest OD450 value compared
to other two groups (P >0.05). In addition, migration distance of MCF-7 cells was the highest in MCF-7+Exosome group without difference between other two groups (P >0.05). Gli1 and SMO expression in MCF-7+Exosome group was highest compared to other two groups (P
>0.05). In conclusion, exosome from BMSC promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. The mechanism may be through raising GLI1, Smo protein expression, further raising the Hedgehog signaling pathway to some extent.

Abstract
Unilateral breast erythema, edema, and peau d'orange are classically associated with inflammatory breast cancer. However, occasionally this constellation of symptoms is seen with other causes. Maintaining a broad differential can therefore save a prospective patient from months of worry about a possible cancer diagnosis, untreated symptoms, and unnecessary and expensive tests. Here we present the case of a 75-year-old woman with a history of pacemaker placement complicated by left upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) who subsequently developed left breast peau d'orange, swelling, and erythema. After initially being worked up for inflammatory breast cancer, including multiple breast biopsies, she was then referred to specialists in cardiology, allergy, pulmonology, rheumatology, dermatology, lymphedema therapy, and vascular surgery undergoing an exhaustive workup that spanned nearly a year. Eventually, a venogram was performed, which revealed complete occlusion of her left subclavian vein. After undergoing angioplasty and stenting, her symptoms resolved.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is highly metastatic at the onset of the disease with no IBC-specific treatments, resulting in dismal patient survival. IBC treatment is a clear unmet clinical need. This commentary highlights findings from a recent seminal approach in which pembrolizumab, a checkpoint inhibitor against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), was provided to a triple-negative IBC patient as a neoadjuvant immune therapy combined with anthracycline-taxane-based chemotherapy. We highlight the findings of the case report and offer a perspective on taking a proactive approach to deploy approved immune checkpoint inhibitors. On the basis of our recently published research study, we propose in situ vaccination with direct injection of immunostimulatory agents into the tumor as an option to improve outcomes safely, effectively, and economically for IBC patients.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers in women. The discovery of available biomarkers is crucial for early diagnosis and improving prognosis. The effect of POP1 in BC remains unrevealed. Our study aims to explore the expression of POP1 in BC and demonstrate its clinical significance and potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) BC cohort transcriptome data and corresponding clinical information were downloaded. GSE42568 cohort, GSE162228 cohort, GSE7904 cohort, and GSE161533 cohort in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were used as verification groups. R software and several web tools were used for statistical analysis. Moreover, the proliferation, transwell, wound healing experiments, and flow cytometry were used for in vitro investigation. Results: Compared with normal breast tissue, POP1 expression was up-regulated in BC tissue with a higher mutation rate. POP1 had good diagnostic value for BC and could be utilized as a new marker. POP1 was significantly correlated with multiple pathways in BC and played an important role in the immune infiltration of BC. High-POP1 expression patients were more prone to be responded to immunotherapy and had a significantly higher percentage of immunotherapy response rate. Moreover, POP1 promoted proliferation and migration and inhibited apoptosis in BC cells. Conclusions: POP1 expression was up-regulated in BC and was associated with a poor prognosis. Patients with high-POP1 expression were more likely to be responded to immunotherapy. Our study can provide a potential marker POP1 for BC, which is beneficial in the diagnosis and treatment of BC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast reconstruction is generally discouraged in women with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). Nevertheless, reconstruction rates are increasing in this population. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine contemporary trends and predictors of breast reconstruction use and its impact on mortality among IBC patients. METHODS Demographic, clinicopathologic, and follow-up data for women with non-metastatic IBC having mastectomy between 2004 and 2015 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18 registries database. Rates and predictors of immediate breast reconstruction, along with survival outcomes between the breast reconstruction and no reconstruction groups were calculated. To account for selection bias, a propensity score analysis matching one reconstruction patient to three no reconstruction patients was performed. RESULTS A total of 4076 women with non-metastatic IBC who underwent mastectomy (388 [9.5%] with breast reconstruction and 3688 [90.5%] without) were included. The proportion of women undergoing breast reconstruction and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy increased from 6.2 to 15.3% and 12.9 to 29.6%, respectively, between 2004 and 2015. Younger age, higher annual income, metropolitan residence, and bilateral mastectomy predicted breast reconstruction use. The 10-year breast cancer-specific survival was 62.9% for women having breast reconstruction and 47.6% for women not having breast reconstruction. After propensity-matched analysis, 10-year cancer-specific survival was similar between the reconstruction (56.6%) and no reconstruction (62.2%) groups (adjusted hazard ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.79-1.16; p = 0.65). CONCLUSIONS Breast reconstruction rates continue to rise among IBC patients, particularly young women and women with access to reconstruction. Breast reconstruction is not associated with inferior breast cancer-specific survival and can be an option for select patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guideline-consistent treatment (GCT) for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), modified radical mastectomy (MRM), and radiation. We hypothesized that younger patients more frequently receive GCT, resulting in survival differences. METHODS Using the National Cancer Database (2004-2018), female patients with unilateral IBC (by histology code and clinical stage T4d) were stratified by age (< 50, 50-65, > 65 years). Factors associated with NAC, MRM, radiation, and "GCT" (defined as all three treatments) were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression identified predictors of overall survival. RESULTS Of 3278 IBC patients, 30% were younger than 50 years, 44% were 50-65 years of age, and 26% were older than 65 years. The youngest group comprised the greatest proportion of non-White patients ([35%] vs. [29%] age 50-65 years and [23%] age > 65 years, p < 0.001) and was most often treated at academic facilities ([33%] vs. [28%] age 50-65 years; and [23%] age > 65, p < 0.001). Patients older than 65 years received NAC, MRM, and radiation less frequently, and only 35% underwent GCT (vs. [57%] age 50-65 years and [52%] age < 50 years; p < 0.001). On multivariable logistic regression, age older than 65 years independently predicted omission of NAC (odds ratio [OR], 0.36), MRM (OR, 0.56), and radiation (OR, 0.56) (all p < 0.001), and patients older than 65 years also were less likely to undergo GCT than patients 50-65 years of age (OR, 0.65; p = 0.001). GCT was associated with superior overall survival in all three age groups ([hazard ratio {HR}, 0.61] age < 50 years, [HR, 0.62] age 50-65 years, [HR, 0.53] age > 65 years; all p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Advanced age alone should not limit receipt of GCT for IBC. Multimodal care should be performed for IBC patients of all ages to improve oncologic outcomes for this aggressive breast cancer subtype.

Abstract
Canine inflammatory mammary carcinoma (CIMC) is a type of canine malignant mammary tumor with a poor prognosis and high mortality. We transduced firefly luciferase and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into CHMp, a CIMC cell line, and established CHMp-Luc-EGFP cells. We investigated the characteristics of this cell line in vitro and in vivo. CHMp-Luc-EGFP was passaged continuously 75 times, with stable expression of luciferase and EGFP. Compared with the wild-type, CHMp-Luc-EGFP had similar proliferation, metastasis, histopathology characteristics, and expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Ki-67. A tumor-bearing model was established by implantation of CHMp-Luc-EGFP cells, and the dynamic changes of tumors were visualized and quantified using the IVIS imaging system. In summary, the cell line we established could reflect the biological characteristics of CHMp cells, visualize the tumor progression in vivo, and provide a powerful tool for the study of CIMC.

Integrated Analysis of Genomic and Transcriptomic Profiles Identified the Role of GTP Binding Protein-4 (GTPBP4) in Breast Cancer. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:880445. [PMID: 35784753 PMCID: PMC9243593 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.880445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To explore the significance of GTP-binding protein 4 (GTPBP4) in breast cancer. Methods: Firstly, GTPBP4 expression analysis was performed in TIMER and UALCAN databases. Subsequently, the TCGA cohort and multiple Gene Expression Omnibus Cohorts were used as validation for GTPBP4 expression. Besides, we also evaluated the diagnostic value of GTPBP4 in TCGA Cohort and multiple GEO Cohorts. The predictive effect of GTPBP4 in breast cancer was then assessed using survival analysis. Then we look at the role of GTPBP4 in the immune milieu and create a Nomogram to help patients with breast cancer understand their prognosis. Finally, in vitro tests were carried out to look at GTPBP4 expression and function in breast cancer cell lines. Results: GTPBP4 is an independent breast cancer prognostic factor that is upregulated in the disease (p < 0.05). Enrichment analysis showed that GTPBP4 was associated with multiple functions and pathways. In addition, GTPBP4 is associated with a variety of immune cell types (p < 0.05). PCR assay showed that GTPBP4 expression was up-regulated in breast cancer cell lines. The activity, migration, and proliferation of breast cancer cells were considerably reduced after GTPBP4 knockdown in the CCK-8, Transwell, and Scratch assays. Conclusions: Our research discovered a new breast cancer biomarker that can be used as a guide for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

[PMID: 35712008 PMCID: PMC9197632 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1853754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the emotional response, stress and psychological changes of patients with breast cancer after surgery for psychological intervention-assisted comfort nursing based on the PERMA model. Methods A total of 100 postoperative breast cancer patients admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to June 2021 were selected as prospective research objects. According to a random number table, they were divided into a control group and an observation group with 50 cases each. Among them, the control group implemented routine nursing care, and the observation group implemented psychological intervention-assisted comfort care based on the PERMA model on the basis of the control group. The differences in compliance behavior, self-care ability, emotional response, stress response changes, and pain scores of the two groups of breast cancer patients before and after nursing were compared. Results After nursing, the mental behavior scores, exercise scores, medication scores, and balanced diet scores of the two groups of breast cancer patients after surgery were significantly improved. The observation group's compliance behavior scores were significantly higher than those of the control group. In the two groups of breast cancer patients, postoperative anxiety, depression, fatigue, and anger of the patients were significantly improved, and the emotional response score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group. The self-care skill score, self-responsibility score, health knowledge score, and self-concept score of the observation group were excellent compared with those of the control group; the difference was significant by the above statistics (P < 0.05). The HR and MAP of the control group during the operation were higher than those 1 day before the start of the operation and decreased at the end of the operation, but still higher than the level 1 day before the start of the operation; the change trend of the observation group was the same as that of the control group, but there were differences between the time points. There was no significant significance (P > 0.05). The HR and MAP of the observation group during the operation were lower than those of the control group, and the MAP at the end of the operation was lower than that of the control group. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the control group, the values increased at the time point during the operation and decreased at the end of the operation, but still higher than the level 1 day before the operation. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The change trend of the observation group was the same as that of the control group; and the values during and at the end of the operation were all lower than those of the control group. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The pain scores of the two groups of patients at different time points were significantly improved, and the observation group was significantly less than the control group. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Psychological intervention-assisted comfort nursing can effectively enhance the compliance behavior of patients after breast cancer surgery, improve the emotional response, stress response, and pain of patients, and have certain reference value for the nursing of patients after breast cancer surgery.

Abstract
Simple Summary Using a cell culture model of resistant breast cancer cells with the phenotype that is often responsible for the early relapse of triple-negative breast cancer, namely, the persistence of these cells in reversible quiescence under a variety of challenges, we found that reprogramming the epigenome by treatment with JIB-04, a small-molecule inhibitor of Jumonji-family histone demethylases, sensitized resistant cells. We used this model of deep intrinsic resistance featuring many molecular mechanisms of achieving this phenotype to perform lengthy evaluations of less cytotoxic doses of JIB-04. We found that resistant cells derived from triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer cell lines were either much more sensitive to JIB-04 than the parental cell line or altered by the treatment such that they became sensitive to the chemotherapeutic drugs paclitaxel and doxorubicin. Notably, JIB-04 exposure increased PD-L1 expression in cancer cells, which means that JIB-04 may have clinical applications in improving the responses of triple-negative breast cancer to anti-PD-L1 therapy. Abstract In the present study, we evaluated JIB-04, a small-molecule epigenetic inhibitor initially discovered to inhibit cancer growth, to determine its ability to affect deep intrinsic resistance in a breast cancer model. The model was based on a function-based approach to the selection of cancer cells in a cell culture that can survive a variety of challenges in prolonged, but reversible, quiescence. These resistant cancer cells possessed a variety of mechanisms, including modifications of the epigenome and transcriptome, for generating a high degree of cellular heterogeneity. We found that long pretreatment with JIB-04 sensitized resistant triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer cells and their parental cell line SUM149 to the chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin and paclitaxel. Resistant cancer cells derived from another inflammatory breast cancer cell line, FC-IBC02, were considerably more sensitive to JIB-04 than the parental cell line. Investigating a mechanism of sensitization, we found that JIB-04 exposure increased the expression of PD-L1 in resistant cells, suggesting that JIB-04 may also sensitize resistant breast cancer cells to anti-PD-L1 immune therapy. Finally, these results support the usefulness of a cell culture-based experimental strategy for evaluating anticancer agents, such as JIB-04, that may halt cancer evolution and prevent the development of cancer resistance to currently used therapies.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BCa) has become the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Irrespective of advancement in cancer treatments, e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, recurrence leading to metastasis poses the greatest threat in BCa management. BCa receptors estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) hold significant reputations as prognostic and predictive biomarkers in therapeutic decision-making. Under normal physiological conditions, these receptors modulate critical biological functions, e.g., cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis events, etc. However, aberrant expression causes deviations, triggering signaling course to adapt permanent switching "ON" mode. The later events induce rapid and unrestrained proliferation leading to cancer. As conventional ways of cancer management ultimately lead to resistance; therefore, recently targeted therapies have been extensively studied to conquer resistance. Targeting various small molecules in downstream signaling has become an area of interest in scientific society. The severity of cancer converts many folds soon after it takes on a migratory approach that eventually commences metastasis. Cancer migration comprises protrusion of cytoplasm at the leading edge of the migration forward-facing, establishing adhesions with the basic cell-matrix, disassembly of the adhesions at the back end of the cell, and actin-myosin fiber contractions to pull the bulk of the cytoplasm forward. On the other hand, metastatic progression comprises a cascade of events, including invasion, migration, and establishment of tumor microenvironment. The progression of BCa from early stage to metastatic development causes remarkable heterogeneity. Interference at any explicit level could hamper the process, and it has thus become an area of interest for scientists. Metastasis is the ultimate cause of spreading tumor cells to invade distant organs. Recently small molecule inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases, which can cross the blood-brain barrier, have become a center point of research for investigators in developing novel treatment strategies against BCa management.

Abstract
Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare and chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast. Difficulties exist in the management of GLM for many front-line surgeons and medical specialists who care for patients with inflammatory disorders of the breast. This consensus is summarized to establish evidence-based recommendations for the management of GLM. Literature was reviewed using PubMed from January 1, 1971 to July 31, 2020. Sixty-six international experienced multidisciplinary experts from 11 countries or regions were invited to review the evidence. Levels of evidence were determined using the American College of Physicians grading system, and recommendations were discussed until consensus. Experts discussed and concluded 30 recommendations on historical definitions, etiology and predisposing factors, diagnosis criteria, treatment, clinical stages, relapse and recurrence of GLM. GLM was recommended as a widely accepted definition. In addition, this consensus introduced a new clinical stages and management algorithm for GLM to provide individual treatment strategies. In conclusion, diagnosis of GLM depends on a combination of history, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory examinations and pathology. The approach to treatment of GLM should be applied according to the different clinical stage of GLM. This evidence-based consensus would be valuable to assist front-line surgeons and medical specialists in the optimal management of GLM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to examine the associations among neighborhood socioeconomic status, trimodal treatment, and disease-specific mortality among inflammatory breast cancer patients using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. METHODS Patients diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer (T4d) from 2010 to 2016 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. The cohort was stratified into neighborhood socioeconomic status groups (low, middle, high) based on National Cancer Institute census tract-level index. Trimodal treatment was defined as receipt of modified radical mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Bivariable analysis, log-rank test, and a Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval) were conducted to evaluate the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic status, trimodal treatment, and disease-specific mortality. RESULTS In total, 4,374 patients met study criteria. There was no difference between the neighborhood socioeconomic status groups in receipt of trimodal treatment (P = .19). On multivariable analysis, there was no association between low neighborhood socioeconomic status (hazard ratio 1.13, 0.98-1.30; ref high neighborhood socioeconomic status) or middle neighborhood socioeconomic status (hazard ratio 1.01, 0.88-1.64; ref high neighborhood socioeconomic status) and disease-specific mortality. Notably, triple negative subtype (hazard ratio 2.66, 2.21-3.20; ref luminal A) and Black race (hazard ratio 1.41, 1.16-1.72; ref White) were associated with a higher disease-specific mortality. CONCLUSION For inflammatory breast cancer patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program, disease-specific mortality appears to be driven by tumor biology and patient characteristics instead of treatment disparities or neighborhood socioeconomic status.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare variety of breast cancer accounting for two percent of breast cancer diagnoses in the United States. It is characterized by peau d'orange, breast edema and erythema on physical examination and dermal lymphatic invasion by tumor emboli on histological examination. Micrometastases to lymphatics and bone marrow at the time of diagnosis and angiogenic properties of IBC explain the high propensity of this cancer to relapse and metastasize, its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Preoperative sequential anthracycline and taxane (plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab if HER2-positive) based chemotherapy is the current standard of care for IBC. We herein report a case of stage IIIC triple-negative IBC treated with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy based neoadjuvant therapy with a complete clinical and complete pathological response. This is the first case of triple-negative IBC treated with this regimen reported in the literature, thereby providing clinical data on the tolerability and efficacy of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy based neoadjuvant regimen for the treatment of IBC.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an aggressive BC subtype with poor outcomes. A targetable somatic PIK3CA mutation is reported in 30% of IBC, allowing for treatment by PI3Kα-specific inhibitors, such as alpelisib. The aim of this study was to evaluate the detection rate of circulating PIK3CA mutation in locally-advanced IBC (LAIBC) patients harbouring a PIK3CA mutation on initial biopsy. This monocentric retrospective study was based on available stored plasma samples and tumour biopsies at diagnosis from all LAIBC patients treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) between 2008 and 2018 at the Centre Henri Becquerel. PIK3CA mutations (E542K, E545K, H1047R/L) were assessed by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in plasma samples and tumoral tissue at diagnosis. A total of 55 patients were included. Overall, 14/55 patients (25%) had a PIK3CA mutation identified on baseline biopsy (H1047R = 8; H1047L = 3; E545K = 2; E542K = 1). Among them, 11 (79%) patients had enough DNA for circulating DNA analyses, and corresponding circulating PIK3CA mutations were found in 6/11 (55%). Among the 41 patients without PIK3CA mutations on biopsy, 32 (78%) had enough DNA for circulating DNA analysis, and no circulating PIK3CA mutation was identified. Our results revealed no prognostic or predictive value of PIK3CA mutations at the diagnosis of non-metastatic IBC but highlighted the prognostic value of the cfDNA rate at diagnosis. Our study showed that a corresponding circulating PIK3CA mutation was identified in 55% of LAIBC patients with PIK3CA-mutated tumours, while no circulating mutation was found among patients with PI3KCA wild-type tumours.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive breast cancer treated up-front with systemic treatment. Both breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) are controversial issues in the management of IBC. In this study, we aimed to assess the feasibility of SLNB in pathologically proven node-positive IBC patients. Methods All patients with a histopathological diagnosis of IBC and biopsy-proven metastatic axillary lymph nodes underwent systemic treatment. Patients with a complete clinical response in the axilla who underwent SLNB followed by standard axillary dissection were analyzed. Results The study consisted of 25 female patients. The identification rate (IR) and the false negativity rate (FNR) were 17/25 and 2/10, respectively. Overall, 9/25 and 7/25 of patients had a complete pathological response (pCR) in the breast and axilla after systemic treatment, respectively. Although the pCR in the axilla was 2/4 in nonluminal HER2-positive patients, the highest IR 4/4 and the lowest FNR 0/2 were determined in these patients. In triple-negative patients, however, the IR was 2/4 and the FNR was found to be 0/2. Conclusions SLNB may be considered in selected axilla-downstaged IBC patients including patients with a pCR with HER2-positive and triple-negative tumors. Axillary dissection may be, therefore, omitted in those with negative SLNs.

Abstract
Background: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is uncommon, aggressive and associated with poor survival outcomes. The lack of prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets specific to IBC is an added challenge for clinical practice and research. Inflammatory biomarkers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR and PLR) demonstrated independent prognostic impact for survival in breast cancer. In our study, these biomarkers were investigated in a cohort of patients with nonmetastatic IBC. Methods: A retrospective cohort of 102 IBC patients with nonmetastatic disease was conducted at the Mohammed VI University Hospital (Oujda, Morocco) between January 2010 and December 2014. NLR and PLR were obtained from blood cell count at baseline before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) from patients' medical records. The receiver operating characteristic was used to find the optimal cut-off. Correlation between these blood-based biomarkers and response to NACT was analyzed by Chi-squared and Fisher's exact test. Their prognostic value for predicting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was performed based on Cox regression models. Results: Totally, 102 patients with IBC were included in the analysis. Pathologic complete response (pCR) after NACT, defined by the absence of an invasive tumor in the breast tissues and nodes after surgery (ypT0 ypN0), was observed in eight patients (7.8%). NACT response was found to be associated with menopausal status (p = 0.039) and nodal status (p < 0.001). Patients with a low NLR had a higher pCR rate as compared with the high-NLR group (p = 0.043). However, the pCR rate was not significantly associated with age (p = 0.122), tumor side (p = 0.403), BMI (p = 0.615), histological grade (p = 0.059), hormone receptors status (p = 0.206), HER2 (p = 0.491) and PLR (p = 0.096). Pre-treatment blood-based NLR of 2.28 was used as the cut-off value to discriminate between high and low NLR according to the receiver operating characteristic curves. Similarly, a value of 178 was used as the cut off for PLR. Patients with low-NLR had a significantly better 5-year DFS (p < 0.001) and OS (p < 0.001) than the high-NLR group. Moreover, low-PLR was significantly associated with higher DFS (p = 0.001) and OS (p = 0.003). The NLR showed a significant prognostic impact for DFS (HR: 2.57; 95% CI: 1.43-4.61; p = 0.01) and for OS (HR: 2.92; 95% CI: 1.70-5.02; p < 0.001). Similarly, a meaningful association between PLR and 5-year DFS (HR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.10-3.46; p = 0.021) and OS (HR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.06-3.14; p = 0.03) was noticed. Conclusions: High NLR and PLR were found associated with reduced DFS and OS in nonmetastatic IBC. Further studies are awaited to confirm these findings.

Application Value of Mathematical Models of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Differentiating Breast Cancer Lesions. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:1481271.

Abstract
Objective To determine the application value of the mono-exponential model, dual-exponential model, and stretched-exponential model of MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in breast cancer (BC) lesions. Methods Totally 64 cases with BC admitted to our hospital between June 2019 and October 2020 were enrolled in this study. They had 71 lesions in total, including 40 benign tumor lesions (including 9 breast cyst lesions) and 31 malignant tumor lesions. After DWI examination, with normal glands as control, mono-exponential model (ADC) map, dual-exponential model (Standard-ADC) map, slow apparent diffusion coefficient (Slow-ADC) map, fast-apparent diffusion coefficient (Fast-ADC) map, and stretched-exponential model (DDC) map were processed, and corresponding values were generated. Then, the situation and significance of each parameter in breast cysts, benign breast tumor lesions, and malignant tumor lesions were analyzed. Results The values of ADC, Standard-ADC, and DDC of breast cysts were higher than those of normal glands (all P < 0.05), and the values of ADC and DDC of benign breast tumor lesions were lower than those of normal glands (P < 0.05). In addition, malignant breast tumor lesions had lower values of ADC, Standard-ADC, Slow-ADC, and DDC and a higher Fast-ADC value compared to normal glands (all P < 0.05). Compared with benign tumor lesions, malignant tumor lesions had lower values of ADC, Standard-ADC, Slow-ADC, and DDC and a higher value of Fast-ADC (all P < 0.05). Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve-based analysis revealed that all the above models could be adopted to effectively evaluate the deterioration of benign breast tumor lesions (all P < 0.05), and DDC value had the most significant diagnostic effect on malignant tumor lesions (P < 0.05). Conclusion Both dual-exponential model and stretched-exponential model of DWI can help effectively evaluate the progression of benign breast tumors, and the stretched-exponential model is more effective in the diagnosis of malignant breast tumors. These models are of great help to the future clinical diagnosis of BC.

Abstract
To better understand the etiology of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and identify potential therapies, we studied genomic alterations in IBC patients. Targeted, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) (n = 33) and paired DNA from tumor tissues (n = 29) from 32 IBC patients. We confirmed complementarity between cfDNA and tumor tissue genetic profiles. We found a high incidence of germline variants in IBC patients that could be associated with an increased risk of developing the disease. Furthermore, 31% of IBC patients showed deficiencies in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway (BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, RAD51C, ATM, BARD1) making them sensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. We also characterized the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in tumor tissue biopsies by studying several markers (CD4, CD8, FoxP3, CD20, PD-1, and PD-L1) through immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. In 7 of 24 (29%) patients, tumor biopsies were positive for PD-L1 and PD-1 expression on TILs, making them sensitive to PD-1/PD-L1 blocking therapies. Our results provide a rationale for considering PARP inhibitors and PD-1/PDL1 blocking immunotherapy in qualifying IBC patients.

Abstract
Patients may present to the emergency department with breast complaints due to traumatic or nontraumatic changes in the breast. Benign and malignant breast pathologies may mimic each other both in clinical presentation and imaging appearance. A complex cystic and solid mass seen on ultrasound in a patient with a palpable mass can represent breast cancer, abscess, or hematoma. A unilateral swollen breast may result from inflammatory breast cancer, mastitis, or other benign etiologies; correlation with clinical history, physical exam, and close follow-up are required to ensure complete resolution of symptoms. Uncommon breast entities such as granulomatous mastitis and breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma may cause changes in the appearance of the breast that prompt a patient to seek initial evaluation in the emergency department. Imaging evaluation of the breast in the emergency department is limited, and it is important that patients with a breast complaint be referred to a dedicated breast center for complete evaluation at an appropriate time interval after their discharge from the emergency department.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION National guidelines specify against immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) among inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) patients. However, limited data exist regarding this practice. We report practice patterns and oncologic outcomes among nonmetastatic IBC patients receiving trimodality therapy, with or without IBR. METHODS Using the National Cancer Database, we identified nonmetastatic IBC patients treated with trimodality therapy from 2004 to 2016. Primary outcome was overall survival (OS), assessed on unadjusted analysis using Kaplan-Meier estimates and on adjusted analysis using multivariable Cox proportional hazards and inverse probability weighting (IPW) models. OS analysis was also conducted with propensity score matched (PSM) cohorts. Secondary outcomes included IBR utilization rates, time to postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT), and surgical outcomes. RESULTS 6589 women were included, including 5954 (90.4%) non-reconstructed and 635 (9.6%) IBR. Among IBR recipients, 250 (39.4%) underwent autologous reconstruction, 171 (26.9%) underwent implant-based reconstruction, and 214 (33.7%) unspecified. IBR utilization increased from 6.3% to 10.1% from 2004 to 2016 at a 4% average annual growth rate (P < 0.001). Median follow-up was 43 and 45 months for IBR and non-reconstructed patients, respectively (P = 0.29). On Cox multivariable analysis, IBR was associated with improved OS (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44-0.90, P = 0.01), but this association was not significant on IPW analysis (P = 0.06). In PSM cohorts, this association remained significant (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.40-0.92, P = 0.02). Margin status, time to PMRT, 30-day readmission, and 30-/90-day mortality did not differ between groups (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Although not endorsed by national guidelines, IBR is increasing among IBC patients; however, more granular data are needed to determine oncologic safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mondor's disease of the breast (MDB) is a rare and benign disorder of the breast. It is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the chest wall. Clinically, it manifests as a cord-like induration of the breast area. MDB resolves spontaneously without sequela. CASE PRESENTATION We report cases of three Caucasian African patients aged 29, 40 and 34, respectively. One patient was under progestative contraception. All the patients had a cord-like induration on the chest wall. Ultrasonography was performed in all patients and was normal in two cases and showed a thrombotic vein in one case. All the patients had symptomatic treatment with total resolution of symptoms within 1 to 4 weeks. No relapse was observed. CONCLUSION MDB is benign in most cases. However, it is not to be taken lightly, because it can be the manifestation of an underlying disease such as breast cancer. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings; ultrasonography can be helpful for the diagnosis. Treatment is based on analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Pro-inflammatory conditions have long been associated with mammary carcinogenesis and breast cancer progression. The underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood but signaling of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα through its receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2 is a major mediator of inflammation in both obesity and in the response of tissues to radiation, 2 known risk factors for the development of breast cancer. Here, we demonstrated the loss of one TNFR2 allele led to ductal hyperplasia in the mammary gland with increased numbers of mammary epithelial stem cell and terminal end buds. Furthermore, loss of one TNFR2 allele increased the incidence of breast cancer in MMTV-Wnt1 mice and resulted in tumors with a more aggressive phenotype and metastatic potential. The underlying mechanisms include a preferential activation of canonical NF-κB signaling pathway and autocrine production of TNFα. Analysis of the TCGA dataset indicated inferior overall survival for patients with down-regulated TNFR2 expression. These findings unravel the imbalances in TNFR signaling promote the development and progression of breast cancer, indicating that selective agonists of TNFR2 could potentially modulate the risk for breast cancer in high-risk populations.
