Therapie des fortgeschrittenen hormonrezeptor(HR)-positiven HER2-negativen Mammakarzinoms
ZusammenfassungDer Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen Therapieoptionen des metastasierten hormonrezeptorpositiven und HER2-negativen Mammakarzinoms. Im Fokus stehen Kombinationstherapien z. B. mit CDK4/6-Inhibition im Vergleich zu rein endokrin basierten Therapien in Prä- und Postmenopause mit Darlegung der neuesten Studienergebnisse. Die Hinzunahme eines CDK4/6-Inhibitors zu einer endokrin basierten Therapie mit Aromataseinhibitor oder Fulvestrant führt zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung des progressionsfreien Überlebens und ist vorteilhaft unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Palbociclib, Ribociclib oder Abemaciclib handelt. Der daher besondere klinische Stellenwert der Inhibition c…
Associations of common breast cancer susceptibility alleles with risk of breast cancer subtypes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers
Introduction More than 70 common alleles are known to be involved in breast cancer (BC) susceptibility, and several exhibit significant heterogeneity in their associations with different BC subtypes. Although there are differences in the association patterns between BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers and the general population for several loci, no study has comprehensively evaluated the associations of all known BC susceptibility alleles with risk of BC subtypes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers. Methods We used data from 15,252 BRCA1 and 8,211 BRCA2 carriers to analyze the associations between approximately 200,000 genetic variants on the iCOGS array and risk of BC subtypes defined by estrogen re…

Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer
Journal article TERT-locus SNPs and leukocyte telomere measures are reportedly associated with risks of multiple cancers. Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, we analyzed ~480 SNPs at the TERT locus in breast (n = 103,991), ovarian (n = 39,774) and BRCA1 mutation carrier (n = 11,705) cancer cases and controls. Leukocyte telomere measurements were also available for 53,724 participants. Most associations cluster into three independent peaks. The minor allele at the peak 1 SNP rs2736108 associates with longer telomeres (P = 5.8 × 10!-7), lower risks for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative (P = 1.0 × 10!-8) and BRCA1 mutation carrier (P = 1.1 × 10!-5) breast cancers and altered promot…
Treatment of Advanced Hormone Receptor-Positive (HR+) HER2-negative Breast Cancer
AbstractThe article gives an overview of current treatment options for metastatic hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. The focus is on combined therapies, e.g., with CDK4/6 inhibition compared with purely endocrine-based therapies in the pre- and postmenopause, presenting the latest study results. The addition of a CDK4/6 inhibitor to endocrine-based therapy with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant leads to a marked improvement in progression-free survival and is independently beneficial whether palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib is involved. The particular clinical status of inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases argues for its use in the first-line treatment of…
