Brain-selective estrogen therapy in male and female marmosets partially counteracts the adverse effects of aromatase inhibition on the brain and behavior. (PubMed, J Neurosci)
We investigated whether DHED could prevent side effects associated with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole in a primate model of aging...Here, we show that a brain-selective estrogen therapy administered orally via the prodrug DHED substantially increases estrogen levels in the marmoset brain without affecting the periphery and normalizes impairments in working memory, hippocampal neuronal excitability and sleep induced by aromatase inhibition. These findings in a translational primate model represent a significant advance for women's health by positioning DHED as a non-invasive, safe and efficient novel hormone therapy to improve quality of life of women with ER+ breast cancers.

A mixed prebiotic/probiotic intervention (MBR-01) for the management of diarrhea during abemaciclib treatment of early breast cancer in postmenopausal patients: A single-center prospective case-control pilot study. (PubMed, Breast)
MBR-01 may effectively mitigate abemaciclib-induced diarrhea, likely through the achievement of stabilization of gut microbiota composition. Larger prospective studies are warranted to validate these preliminary findings.

Final outcomes of the SOFT and TEXT phase III trials in premenopausal hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. (PubMed, Ann Oncol)
Meaningful overall survival benefit in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer from adjuvant exemestane and/or OFS compared with tamoxifen alone is limited to high-risk premenopausal subgroups. Tamoxifen-based ET may not result in optimal outcomes in premenopausal high-grade HER2-negative tumours.

Minimally Invasive Surgery as a Longitudinal Diagnostic and Restaging Tool in a Recurrent STK11-Altered Adnexal Tumor: A Case Report. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
Positron emission tomography/computed tomography in January 2023 raised concern for recurrence, and exploratory laparoscopy in March 2023 documented peritoneal metastatic disease, followed by four cycles of cisplatin given within the then-prevailing carcinoma-based diagnostic framework...After external review, everolimus plus anastrozole was started in May 2025...At the most recent available follow-up in April 2026, the patient had no documented death and remained under postoperative surveillance. Discussion and This case illustrates the diagnostic importance of repeated tissue reassessment and the practical value of minimally invasive surgery as a relatively low-burden means of resection, restaging, and tissue acquisition in a rare molecularly reclassified adnexal tumor.

Design, Synthesis and Molecular Modeling Studies of Triazole Derivatives as Aromatase İnhibitors. (PubMed, Chem Biol Drug Des)
Among the tested derivatives, compounds 6e and 6g exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells, with IC₅₀ values of 19.96 μM and 15.75 μM, respectively, demonstrating stronger activity than the reference drug cisplatin (21.42 μM). Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that the selected compounds exhibited binding interactions similar to letrozole within the aromatase active site. Based on combined cytotoxicity, enzyme inhibition, molecular docking, and ADME predictions, compound 6l emerged as the most promising candidate as a potential non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor.
