hyperphagia/breast neoplasms

This study analyzes the association of excessive energy intake and caloric restriction with breast cancer (BC) risk taking into account the individual energy needs of Spanish women. We conducted a multicenter matched case-control study where 973 pairs completed lifestyle and food frequency

Cancer cells devouring their neighbours to survive drug treatment is an abhorrent concept. Yet it holds hope for exploring new anticancer treatments. Tonnessen-Murray et al. adopted elegant cell-labelling methods using real-time microscopy to observe 'cellular gorging' by drug-treated cells. They

A 42-year-old woman with locally advanced breast cancer developed headache just after completing adjuvant chemotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass located in the left subthalamic nucleus (STN) and involving the posterior part of the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The patient refused

OBJECTIVE Mammographic density (MD) is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. The present study evaluates the association between relative caloric intake and MD in Spanish women. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 3517 women were recruited from seven breast cancer screening

We evaluated the dietary habits of breast cancer survivors and investigated the relationship with quality of life (QoL), with 1,156 survivors recruited from 17 institutions. We used the Questionnaire Survey of Dietary Habits of Korean Adults (Q-DH-KOR) comprising 25 questions. The following indices

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to prospectively observe the relative contribution of each viable mechanism such as hyperphagia, physical activity, body composition, steroid hormonal and thyroid function, fatigue scores on changes in body weight in breast cancer patients, receiving adjuvant

OBJECTIVE Weight gain is a common problem among breast cancer patients who receive adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). We undertook a study to determine the causes of this energy imbalance. METHODS Factors related to energy balance were assessed at baseline (within 3 weeks of diagnosis) and throughout 1

More than thirty types of tumors in the sellar region can mimic pituitary adenoma on, magnetic resonance imaging. When they exist, clinical manifestations are not necessarily highly contributive to diagnosis. Headache, visual impairment, signs of antepituitary insufficiency or possible dysmenorrhea

In the overweight or obese female, reproductive complications include poor oocyte quality, decreased fecundity, gestational diabetes, and higher risk of reproductive cancers. Using lean and hyperphagia-induced obese female mice aged 10 weeks, we determined that the ovary from obese female mice had
