Palbociclib has no clinically relevant effect on the QTc interval in patients with advanced breast cancer. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess the potential effects of palbociclib in combination with letrozole on QTc. PALOMA-2, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, compared palbociclib plus letrozole with placebo plus letrozole in ...

eIF4A inhibitors suppress cell-cycle feedback response and acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibition in cancer [PDF]
CDK4/6 inhibitors are FDA-approved drugs for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer and are being evaluated to treat other tumor types, including KRAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Rapid Breast Cancer Disease Progression Following Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4 and 6 Inhibitor Discontinuation. [PDF]
Background: CDK 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i), which arrest unregulated cancer cell proliferation, show clinical efficacy in breast cancer. Unexpectedly, a patient treated on a CDK4/6i-based trial, as first-line therapy in metastatic breast cancer ...

Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy for luminal breast cancer treatment: a first-choice alternative in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic [PDF]
The epidemiological emergency caused by CoV-2 (COVID-19) has changed priorities in breast cancer management. In those places where the pandemic has had the greatest effect, it is of paramount importance for most patients to be at home, reducing or ...

Not So Fast: Cultivating miRs as Kinks in the Chain of the Cell Cycle. [PDF]
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Hydbring and colleagues define a novel class of microRNAs (miRNAs), deemed cell-cycle-targeting miRNAs, that target several cyclins/CDKs, reduce tumor cell growth, and induce apoptosis.

Comparison of TCGA and GENIE genomic datasets for the detection of clinically actionable alterations in breast cancer. [PDF]
Whole exome sequencing (WES), targeted gene panel sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays are increasingly used for the identification of actionable alterations that are critical to cancer care.

P16 methylation increases the sensitivity of cancer cells to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib.
The P16 (CDKN2Aink4a) gene is an endogenous CDK4/6 inhibitor. Palbociclib (PD0332991) is an anti-CDK4/6 chemical for cancer treatment. P16 is most frequently inactivated by copy number deletion and DNA methylation in cancers. It is well known that cancer
