Breast cancer survivors vulvo-vaginal atrophy symptoms: Morphological aspects unveiled (Hall 1) - Oct 26, 2021 - Abstract #SABCS2021SABCS_1222; Were included 62 women, 50 BCSA (18 - tamoxifen and 32 - anastrozole) and 12 control group. Symptoms of VVA do not correlate with tissue modifications as expected, however a trend of enhance of papillomatosis and subepithelial vascularization was observed, and they were predominant in BCSA compared to controls.

Impact of body mass index on the efficacy of aromatase inhibitors in patients with metastatic breast cancer (Hall 1) - Oct 26, 2021 - Abstract #SABCS2021SABCS_554; Similarly, an exploratory analysis from the ATAC trial found that in post-menopausal women with early-stage BC, overall recurrence rates were lower in patients randomized to anastrozole versus tamoxifen but in women with body mass index (BMI) > 30, there was no significant difference in disease recurrence between anastrozole and tamoxifen...Overall, 53% were on letrozole, 42% on anastrozole and 5.5% on exemestane...This discrepancy could be due to other differences in disease characteristics that make complete aromatase inhibition more important in the adjuvant setting when disease burden is the lowest. Additional larger studies are needed to confirm this finding.

Clinical, Journal: Palliative treatment of endometrial cancer: what is the role of anastrozole in elderly women? (Pubmed Central) - Oct 20, 2021 Over a long time horizon, competing risk methods may be preferable to KM methods when estimating future risk of recurrence in early-stage hormone-sensitive breast cancer. Our preliminary data suggested that the palliative use of anastrozole may be a suitable therapy for the proper management of early stages endometrial cancer in elderly women not suitable for surgical treatment with good compliance and tolerance.

[VIRTUAL] Primary Membranous Nephropathy Flare After COVID-19 Vaccination () - Oct 17, 2021 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2021KIDNEY_WEEK_2435; We present a patient with MN and metastatic breast cancer who developed nephrotic syndrome after receiving her second mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine with positive PLA2R Ab by ELISA suggesting MN flare...She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and started anastrazole transiently...She was treated with lisinopril and furosemide followed by rituximab in May 2021...Our case of primary MN flare after COVID-19 vaccine adds support to a potential association between SARS-CoV-2 antigens and loss of tolerance to the PLA2R antigen. Close follow-up of patients with primary MN and other glomerular diseases after COVID-19 vaccination is warranted.

Review, Journal: Review of the Literature on Ocular Complications Associated With Aromatase Inhibitor Use. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 15, 2021 Aromatase inhibitors (AIs), such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, are commonly used as adjuvant endocrine therapy in hormone-receptive breast cancer in postmenopausal women...The ocular side effects of tamoxifen use are well documented and were not included...Although these are likely rare side effects, we recommend a high level of clinical suspicion when assessing patients with visual symptoms and on AIs. Larger prospective studies are necessary to further investigate these complications.

Clinical, Journal: Interaction between SNP Genotype and Efficacy of Anastrozole and Exemestane in Early Stage Breast Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 13, 2021 LY75 and GPR160 participate in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and growth pathways, in both cases with SNP-dependent variation in regulation. Collectively, these studies identified SNPs that differentiate the efficacy of anastrozole and exemestane and they suggest additional genetic biomarkers for possible use in selecting an AI for a given patient.

Finally, we discussed the use of individualized therapy with humanized monoclonal antibodies (trastuzumab emtansine and sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) and combination therapy (fulvestrant plus alpesilib, fulvestrant plus anastrozole, and ribociclib plus endocrine therapy) for women with advanced breast cancer.
