Thromboembolic disorders are the second leading cause of death in breast cancer. Antiplatelet therapy combined with cancer therapy is a potential treatment strategy against cancer-associated thromboembolic disorders; however, the efficacy of such dual treatment has not been established. This study
Manumycin A is a natural antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces parvulus with broad range of biological activities including antineoplastic activity in several in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Immodin [dialyzable leukocyte extract (DLE)] is a dialysate released from disintegrated blood leukocytes
Cancer metastasis is a highly coordinated and dynamic multistep process in which cancer cells interact with a variety of host cells. Morphological studies have documented the association of circulating tumor cells with host platelets. Tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation (TCIPA) contributes
The objective is to define the therapeutic role of antiplatelet agents in a triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) population.
We performed retrospective analysis using the UTSW TNBC registry containing data from 222 Stage II-III TNBC patients treated between 1998 and 2016. Univariate analysis and
Platelet inhibition has been considered an effective strategy for combating cancer metastasis and compromising disease malignancy although recent clinical data provided evidence that long-term platelet inhibition might increase incidence of cancer deaths in initially cancer-free patients. In the
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed tumor in women worldwide, with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Chemotherapy and hormone therapy have significantly reduced mortality; however, the adverse effects are significant. Aspirin has been incorporated into clinical practice for
OBJECTIVE
The interactions between cancer cells and platelets have been recognized to play an important role in cancer progress as well as metastasis, and interference with cancer-platelet interactions is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy. In the present study, two β-nitrostyrene
The aim of the study was to assess the safety of surgery for breast cancer in patients with antithrombotic therapy (ATT), including antiplatelet therapy (APT) and anticoagulation therapy (ACT) for thromboembolic risks.One hundred ninety-three consecutive Enhancements of cytotoxic effects of adriamycin (ADM) and vincristine (VCR) on PC-6 (lung cancer cell line) and Hattori (breast cancer cell line) were investigated by concomitant use of a calmodulin inhibitor: nicardipine, antiplatelet agents: oxyfedrine and trimethazidine and an antihypertensive
BACKGROUND
Rapid clearance of adenoviruses from blood by macrophage lineage cells of the liver and spleen, and binding to platelets, hinder their successful systemic use for cancer gene therapy. Vitamin K dependent coagulation factors are important mediators for the adenovirus liver tropism. Here we
A 35-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer, treated 3 years ago with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy presented with a rapid onset of severe Raynaud's phenomenon. On physical examination, she had digital ulcers and splinter hemorrhages; there were no signs of an underlying rheumatic
Platelets and their granular contents influence both angiogenesis and breast cancer progression. This study was performed to assess the effect of breast cancer and its treatment on platelet biology and the response to inhibition of the platelet P2Y12 receptor. Receptor-specific platelet activation
OBJECTIVE
Circulating and cellular proangiogenic and antiangiogenic proteins such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endostatin contribute to the local angiogenic balance. We explored the effects of tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors on concentrations of VEGF and endostatin in plasma,
BACKGROUND
Angiogenesis, traditionally assessed by microvessel density (MVD), does not give an indication of the functional status of the tumor neovasculature. The structural and functional stability of the tumor vasculature and its potential clinical relevance in breast cancer was
Activated platelets have been recognized as an accessory character in the cascade of tumor hematogenous metastasis, and intervention of tumor cell attachment to the activated platelets or microemboli formation might be a leading strategy to prevent tumor cells surviving in the blood vessels and
