Brain metastases are a frequent and severe complication of advanced cancers, particularly non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC). They significantly worsen prognosis and quality of life, while remaining difficult to manage due to the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which limits the penetration...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by the absence of hormonal receptors (ER, PR) and the HER2 protein. This particularity significantly limits targeted therapeutic options, leading to a poor prognosis marked by high recurrence and low overall survival rates. Given the biological heterogeneity of TNBC, global...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by the absence of hormonal receptors and HER2 expression, accounts for approximately 15–20% of all breast cancer cases. It is associated with a high risk of recurrence and early metastasis. Among patients who present with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant ch...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive form of cancer, characterized by the absence of hormone receptors (ER/PR) and HER2. It primarily affects younger women, progresses rapidly, and carries a high risk of relapse, especially due to the lack of exploitable therapeutic targets. Currently, chemo...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), lacking hormonal and HER2 receptors, represents an aggressive and heterogeneous subtype. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as pembrolizumab, have recently shown therapeutic potential; however, only about 20% of metastatic patients respond to monotherapy. This highlights the urgent...

The synchronous development of several primary cancers is a rare but increasingly observed phenomenon, particularly in patients carrying genetic mutations such as BRCA1. In this particular case, the coexistence of triple-negative breast cancer and rectal adenocarcinoma is all the more complex as it may occur in patient...

Breast cancer screening is a cornerstone of early detection, but for women with dense breast tissue, traditional mammography often falls short. To address this challenge, the Breast Screening—Risk Adapted Imaging for Density (BRAID) trial, recently published in The Lancet, offers promising evidence on whether supplemen...

Metastatic breast cancer relies heavily on amino acids for its growth and survival. These essential nutrients can be synthesized or absorbed directly from circulating serum, making them an attractive metabolic target. While enzymatic inhibition of amino acid biosynthetic pathways has shown limited success in clinical settings...

Although breast cancer treatments have greatly improved survival, they also expose patients to an increased risk of cardiovascular toxicity. This toxicity can lead to a significant decline in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)—a key component of overall health that is closely linked to both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality...
