Early-onset diagnosis, defined by age <40 years, has historically been associated with inferior outcomes in breast cancer. Recent evidence suggests that this association is modified molecular subtype. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to synthesize on between early-onset diagnosis clinical triple-negative cancer (TNBC). Studies comparing risk non-metastatic TNBC patients later-onset (≥40 years) were queried Medline EMBASE from inception February 2023. Separate meta-analyses for specific survival (BCSS), overall (OS), disease-free (DFS), locoregional recurrence-free (LRRFS), distant (DRFS), pathological complete response (pCR). In total, 7581 unique records identified, 36 studies satisfied inclusion criteria. The pooled any recurrence was significantly greater compared patients. Better BCSS OS observed relative aged >60 years. odds achieving pCR higher Future should evaluate role management implementation novel therapies such as PARP inhibitors real-world settings, whether they improve outcomes.

Two mortality: multivariable Cox regression LASSO penalization (LASSO Cox) random survival forests (RSF). Internal validation was performed using nested tenfold cross-validation repeated 200 times. Model assessed receiver operator characteristic calibration curves years. Results In total, 1827 eligible inclusion. At years, had an area under curve 0.78 (95%CI 0.74–0.82) overestimated by 2.4% 0.70–4.33) overall cohort. No differences observed predicted The model showed better discrimination than RSF model, but both poor underestimated mortality. Conclusion tended overestimate those > 30% risks 50% We did not identify additional that would be clinically useful applying machine learning.

Breast cancer is a significant global health concern. Primary endocrine therapy (PET) and primary chemotherapy (PCT) are employed to manage hormone receptor positive breast cancers in the neoadjuvant setting. We hypothesise that PET as effective treat axillary metastases. All patients treated for at Tygerberg Hospital Unit during period of 2016-2019 were included. Patients who did not receive PCT or excluded, undergo lymph node dissection (ALND). The sample consisted 176 patients. median age was 49.2 years (IQR = 42.4-57.9 years; range 25.1-84.6 years), 174/176 (98.9%) female. Of patients, 35/176 (19.9%) had luminal A cancers, while 141/176 (80.1%) B cancers. Among these 150/176 (85.2%) underwent 26/176 (14.8%) received PET. burdens found via ALND similar (median 25.0%; IQR 0.0-50.0%) 16.8%; 0.0-89.0%; p 0.66). rates with no nodal involvement also (47/150 31.3%) (9/26 34.6%; 0.74).

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, among other gonadotoxic treatments, can significantly affect ovarian reserve function, potentially leading to premature insufficiency (POI) sterility. With the increasing survival rates young female cancer patients, fertility preservation (FP) has become an essential aspect of care. The decision pursue FP depends on various factors, including patient age, reserve, type treatment, its potential. Several strategies are available, oocyte, embryo, tissue cryopreservation. While oocyte embryo cryopreservation gold standard techniques, in vitro maturation (IVM) present viable alternatives for patients who cannot undergo stimulation or whom is contraindicated. Despite significant advances within practice, challenges remain ensuring timely counseling, equitable access services, optimizing long-term reproductive outcomes. Continued research needed refine existing explore innovative approaches, address ethical considerations decision-making. This review explores current options, their clinical applications, future directions improve outcomes women undergoing treatments.
