  • Current approaches to the management of neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC): a review

    Mohsen S. Ali

    Neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC), an infrequent malignancy, accounts for 2–5% of all invasive breast cancer cases. The minimal occurrence of these tumours has resulted in knowledge primarily acquired from unique case reports or short retrospective studies. NEBC is diagnosed by identifying morphological characteristics related to gastrointestinal tracts and lung neuroendocrine tumors and neur...

  • Breast cancer stem cells origins and the memory stem cells: clinical significance of biomarkers and the active therapeutic approaches

    Muhammad Waseem Akram, Bai Chen

    Despite recent improvements in diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer (BC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women. In this complex disease, breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a small but significant subset of different cancer cells with the ability to proliferate and self-renew. According to an increasing amount of studies, BCSCs are essential for breast cancer me...

  • Progress in research and treatment of immune checkpoints in breast cancer

    Xinyi Zhang, Jie Wang, Kaiyuan Zhou

    Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women often involving the toxicity of conventional chemotherapy alongside organ-specific side effects. As immunotherapeutic agents in anti-tumor, new immune checkpoints are constantly being dug and discovered. The role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the process of tumor immune evasion has assumed increasing significance. Currently, clinic...
