The authors evaluated the safety and effectiveness of paclitaxel (Taxol) in combination with alisertib (MLN8237) for the treatment of advanced breast cancer (BC). The authors observed that a weekly, reduced dose of paclitaxel combined with alisertib improved the survival without cancer worsening in these patients.

This study investigated the effectiveness of Pilates compared with circuit-based exercise in reducing joint pain during hormone therapy for women with breast cancer. The data showed that Pilates was more effective than circuit-based exercise in reducing joint pain for these patients.

This study examined whether a healthy diet can improve the quality of life of women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. The authors found that women who followed healthy dietary advice had an improvement in the quality of their life during chemotherapy, reducing nausea, vomiting, and increasing appetite. 

This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) in the treatment of patients with oligometastatic (few metastases) cancer. The data showed that the use of SABR in these patients was associated with high overall survival and low toxicity.

This article looked at the occurrence of heart-related side effects in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) receiving trastuzumab (Herceptin). The authors found that non-smoking patients with a good heart function before receiving treatment have a low risk of heart toxicity (HT) after 4 years of trastuzumab treatment.

This study evaluated the impact of radiotherapy (RT) on controlling brain metastasis (BM). The study suggested that a single dose of RT was effective in controlling small BM. Larger BM could be controlled more effectively with multiple rounds of RT.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of giving stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) at the same time as other cancer treatments for patients who have brain metastasis. The study found that SRS given in combination with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy was safe with low levels of side effects.

This study looked at the association between breast cancer (BC) prognosis and statin use. The authors found that statin use is associated with a reduced recurrence and mortality in women with BC. 

The study compared outcomes of utidelone plus capecitabine (Xeloda) versus capecitabine (C) alone in previously treated patients with anthracycline- and taxane-resistant metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The authors found that this combination improved survival compared to C alone in such patients.

This study observed the effect of different physical activities on measures like pain and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients receiving hormone therapy for breast cancer (BC).

The study showed that aerobic and resistance training might positively impact cardiorespiratory fitness and pain in these patients.
