Missingness in Eligibility Criteria for Target Trial Emulation in EHR With Survival Outcomes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In certain settings, when conducting a randomized trial would be infeasible, electronic health records (EHR) can be used to emulate a target trial and estimate causal effects of an intervention. This process involves specifying the elements of a hypothetical trial protocol and applying these to the design of an observational study conducted ...

Longitudinal Tumor Size and Survival Modeling for Exposure-Response Analysis of Drugs with Frequent Dose Reductions: Dose Justification of Abemaciclib in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Abemaciclib is an oral anticancer drug indicated for treatment of HR+ HER2‐ breast cancer. Dose modifications due to side effects are frequent, thus drug exposures change over time as a result of altering the dose or temporarily withholding abemaciclib treatment.

The metastasis inducer CCN1 (CYR61) activates the fatty acid synthase (FASN)-driven lipogenic phenotype in breast cancer cells [PDF]
The angiogenic inducer CCN1 (Cysteine-rich 61, CYR61) is differentially activated in metastatic breast carcinomas. However, little is known about the precise mechanisms that underlie the pro-metastatic actions of CCN1. Here, we investigated the impact of

Splicing factor ESRP1 controls ER-positive breast cancer by altering metabolic pathways [PDF]
The epithelial splicing regulatory proteins 1 and 2 (ESRP1 and ESRP2) control the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) splicing program in cancer. However, their role in breast cancer recurrence is unclear. In this study, we report that high levels

Detection of activating estrogen receptor gene (ESR1) mutations in single circulating tumor cells [PDF]
Purpose: Early detection is essential for treatment plans before onset of metastatic disease. Our purpose was to demonstrate feasibility to detect and monitor estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene mutations at the single circulating tumor cell (CTC) level in ...
