Journal: Verapamil as a culprit of palbociclib toxicity. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 26, 2019 Labs normalized upon discontinuation of verapamil and our patient was able to continue treatment with palbociclib and letrozole. Verapamil's inhibition of both permeability-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP3A4 is suspected to have led to the adverse side effects seen in our patient.

Preclinical, Journal: Acquired-resistance to aromatase inhibitors: where we stand! (Pubmed Central) - Apr 19, 2019 Moreover, clinical evidence demonstrated that there is a lack of cross-resistance among AIs, although the reason is not fully understood. Thus, there is a demand to understand the mechanisms involved in endocrine resistance to each AI, since the search for new strategies to surpass breast cancer acquired resistance is of major concern.

In the treatment for patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, it is important to consider the sensitivity of endocrine therapy, such as relapse-free survival or the expression of hormone receptors in metastatic tumors.

In women with clomiphene citrate failure, gonadotrophins resulted in more live births than continued clomiphene citrate without increasing multiple pregnancies.

Review, Journal: CDK4/6 Inhibitors: The Mechanism of Action May Not Be as Simple as Once Thought. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 11, 2019 To achieve maximal benefit with CDK4/6 inhibitors it will be critical to understand the cellular mechanisms by which they act. Here we highlight the mechanisms by which CDK4/6 inhibitors can exert their anti-tumor activities beyond simply enforcing cytostatic growth arrest, and discuss how this knowledge may inform new combinations, improve outcomes, and modify dosing schedules in the future.

Preclinical, Journal: Aromatase inhibition by letrozole attenuates kainic acid-induced seizures but not neurotoxicity in mice. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 29, 2019 Our results indicate the potential anticonvulsant effects of letrozole against KA-induced seizures in mice that might be mediated by inhibiting aromatization of testosterone to 17β-estradiol, a proconvulsant hormone and by redirecting the synthesis to anticonvulsant metabolites, 5α-DHT and 3α-Diol. Acute aromatase inhibition, thus, might be used as an adjuvant in the treatment of status epilepticus and can be pursued further.

Journal: Ovulation induction in polycystic ovary syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 29, 2019 Second line treatments are ovarian electrocautery and low-dose follicle stimulating hormone stimulation. Controlled ovarian stimulation with in vitro fertilization, should be considered the last option since it carries a significant risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in patients with PCOS.
