Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant global contributor to mortality, predominantly affecting males aged 65 and above. The field of omics has recently gained traction due to its capacity to provide profound insights into the biochemical mechanisms underlying conditions like prostate cancer. This involves the identification and quantification of low-molecular-weight metabolites and proteins acting as crucial biochemical signals for early detection, therapy assessment, and target identification. A spectrum of analytical methods is employed to discern and measure these molecules, revealing their altered biological pathways within diseased contexts. Metabolomics and proteomics generate refined data subjected to detailed statistical analysis through sophisticated software, yielding substantive insights. This review aims to underscore the major contributions of multi-omics to PCa research, covering its core principles, its role in tumor biology characterization, biomarker discovery, prognostic studies, various analytical technologies such as mass spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, data processing, and recent clinical applications made possible by an integrative "omics" approach. This approach seeks to address the challenges associated with current PCa treatments. Hence, our research endeavors to demonstrate the valuable applications of these potent tools in investigations, offering significant potential for understanding the complex biochemical environment of prostate cancer and advancing tailored therapeutic approaches for further development.

Li X, Yan F. Predictive value of background parenchymal enhancement on breast magnetic resonance imaging for pathological tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancers: a systematic review. Cancer Imaging 2024; 24:35. [PMID: 38462607 PMCID: PMC10926651 DOI: 10.1186/s40644-024-00672-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review aimed to assess the predictive value of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an imaging biomarker for pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). METHODS Two reviewers independently performed a systemic literature search using the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases for studies published up to 11 June 2022. Data from relevant articles were extracted to assess the relationship between BPE and pCR. RESULTS This systematic review included 13 studies with extensive heterogeneity in population characteristics, MRI follow-up points, MRI protocol, NACT protocol, pCR definition, and BPE assessment. Baseline BPE levels were not associated with pCR, except in 1 study that reported higher baseline BPE of the younger participants (< 55 years) in the pCR group than the non-pCR group. A total of 5 studies qualitatively assessed BPE levels and indicated a correlation between reduced BPE after NACT and pCR; however, among the studies that quantitatively measured BPE, the same association was observed only in the subgroup analysis of 2 articles that assessed the status of hormone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. In addition, the predictive ability of early BPE changes for pCR was reported in several articles and remains controversial. CONCLUSIONS Changes in BPE may be a promising imaging biomarker for predicting pCR in breast cancer. Because current studies remain insufficient, particularly those that quantitatively measure BPE, prospective and multicenter large-sample studies are needed to confirm this relationship.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent aggressive malignant tumor in women worldwide and develops from breast tissue. Although cutting-edge treatment methods have been used and current mortality rates have decreased, BC control is still not satisfactory. Clarifying the underlying molecular mechanisms will help clinical options. Extracellular vesicles known as exosomes mediate cellular communication by delivering a variety of biomolecules, including proteins, oncogenes, oncomiRs, and even pharmacological substances. These transferable bioactive molecules can alter the transcriptome of target cells and affect signaling pathways that are related to tumors. Numerous studies have linked exosomes to BC biology, including therapeutic resistance and the local microenvironment. Exosomes' roles in tumor treatment resistance, invasion, and BC metastasis are the main topics of discussion in this review.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the first worldwide most frequent cancer in both sexes and the most commonly diagnosed in females. Although BC mortality has been thoroughly declining over the past decades, there are still considerable differences between women diagnosed with early BC and when metastatic BC is diagnosed. BC treatment choice is widely dependent on precise histological and molecular characterization. However, recurrence or distant metastasis still occurs even with the most recent efficient therapies. Thus, a better understanding of the different factors underlying tumor escape is mainly mandatory. Among the leading candidates is the continuous interplay between tumor cells and their microenvironment, where extracellular vesicles play a significant role. Among extracellular vesicles, smaller ones, also called exosomes, can carry biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and generate signal transmission through an intercellular transfer of their content. This mechanism allows tumor cells to recruit and modify the adjacent and systemic microenvironment to support further invasion and dissemination. By reciprocity, stromal cells can also use exosomes to profoundly modify tumor cell behavior. This review intends to cover the most recent literature on the role of extracellular vesicle production in normal and cancerous breast tissues. Specific attention is paid to the use of extracellular vesicles for early BC diagnosis, follow-up, and prognosis because exosomes are actually under the spotlight of researchers as a high-potential source of liquid biopsies. Extracellular vesicles in BC treatment as new targets for therapy or efficient nanovectors to drive drug delivery are also summarized.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Major advances have been made towards breast cancer prevention and treatment. Unfortunately, the incidence of breast cancer is still increasing globally. Metabolomics is the field of science which studies all the metabolites in a cell, tissue, system, or organism. Metabolomics can provide information on dynamic changes occurring during cancer development and progression. The metabolites identified using cutting-edge metabolomics techniques will result in the identification of biomarkers for the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancers. This review briefly introduces the metabolic changes in cancer with particular focus on breast cancer.
