Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Guide to Quitting Smoking
1.
2. Smoking is not just a bad
habit, but an addiction that is
harmful.
It contains Nicotine which is
the most addictive part of the
cigarette and its power is
great and strange.
It may seem right to you and
you can enjoy its feeling, but
it is responsible for the
highest levels of preventable
and premature death.
3. Knowing ways to quit smoking that are easy to use can be
very important.
A strong will power can be great because there is no
substitute to your will power and all stop smoking guides
work with a will power for effective smocking cessation.
A guide to quitting smoking
involves START
4. You should first set a
date for quitting and
make it a day when
you'll be busy. The
date can be within two
to three weeks so you
have sufficient time to
prepare without losing
your motivation to
quit. If you usually
smoke at work, quit on
the weekend or during
the holiday, so you
have a few days to
adjust to the new
change.
5. It is next to impossible to quit smoking alone.
Telling family members, friends, co-workers and
professionals that you plan to quit can be very
helpful for anyone who wants to quit.
The support of friends is essential to hold one
accountable and for lifting up the smoker when the
road becomes difficult. You need their support and
encouragement.
You can also look for a quit buddy who wants to
stop smoking and help each other as you get
through the rough times. Spending just a few
minutes talking to patients about quitting smoking
can lead to a successful behavioral change.
6. Once you know why you should quit, you must
foresee and plan for the challenges you’ll face
while quitting. You’ll prepare ahead for
common challenges such as cigarette cravings.
7. Throw away all cigarettes and other products that can
distract you such as lighters, ashtrays, and matches.
It helps if you can also wash your clothes and freshen up
anything that smells like smoke. Shampoo your car,
clean your drapes and carpet, and steam your furniture.
Think of the harm you are doing to yourself by smoking,
think of the health benefits you will gain when you don't
smoke anymore.
You can also distract yourself
by being busy to avoid having
time to go out and get a
cigarette. You can opt for
cooking, cleaning your home
and anything else that you
can find to make you busy.
8. A doctor and any other health
professional can help you in quitting.
Tobacco addiction is a gradual process
that manifests itself into our every day
lives in several ways. it is as serious as
a disease that needs medical
assistance.
A doctor or nurse can prescribe
medication to help with withdrawal
and suggest other alternatives. You can
also get medical assistance over the
counter at your local pharmacy or
grocery store, including the nicotine
patch, nicotine lozenges, and nicotine
gum.
9. Make sure you’ve cleared all cigarettes from
your home the day before you quit smoking.
Ensure that you’ve got rid of all lighters,
matches and ashtrays and your home must be
clean.
Do your things differently, sit in a different
place during your breakfast and have different
meals. If you feel any urge to smoke,
immediately do something else instead and keep
yourself as busy as possible.
At the end of the day, ensure that you reward
yourself for not smoking by seeing a movie,
going out to eat and enjoy a great salad or visit
a non-smoking friend.
10. Quit smoking is another reliable way to quit smoking
that many people find helpful in stopping smoking for
good. As there are many brands of cigarettes, there
are many Hypnosis techniques. A hypnotherapist will
guide you to a hyper-attentive state and replace
harmful unwanted thoughts with positive healthy
ones.
If you’ve tried to quit smoking and not succeeded,
quit smoking hypnosis is one of the places you can
use to quit smoking permanently. You can be
connected through Skype for your quit smoking
hypnosis session from the comfort of your home.
11. You should not allow yourself to be tempted into smoking again. Try to
exercise every day. Go to the club, play football or tennis or ride a bike.
Keep in mind that once the commitment to quit has been achieved,
Smoking should be replaced with some other, less harmful, activities.
Try to keep busy and think about ways to solve your problems if you are
stressed. Tell yourself that smoking won't make it better and focus on or do
something different.
Make sure to eat regular meals and try not to let yourself get hungry. Keep
fruit handy for snacks. Try new fruits as an adventure. Feeling hungry is
sometimes mistaken for the desire or urge to smoke.
Make a list of the reasons of stopping smoking and keep a positive attitude
to help you through the rough days. Remember that thousands die every
day all over the world, becoming the victims of the smoking related
diseases. So do not allow yourself to be among the victims again.
Spend time with non-smoking friends only.
12. Your life can get longer and healthier because you are not smoking
anymore. With an appropriate guide you can quit smoking and avoid using
any 'quit smoking' pills, medicines, medications or drugs because they have
side effects which may be harmful to your health. But if you feel you need
professional help, see your naturopathic doctor first. He or she may be able
to suggest some natural alternatives or options to break your addiction to
cigarettes.
