Abstract
The use of drugs that affect the cell cycle represents one of the common strategies for the control of some unrelated pathologies, such as chronic viral HIV infections or cancer. The authors report the case of a patient followed for a hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer, treated with hormone therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitors, and a concomitant HIV infection under antiretroviral treatment. The authors consider the function of the sterile alpha motif and HD domain-containing protein-1 (SAMHD1) enzyme, its implications in the control of viral replication and the correlation between its activity and the mechanism of action of the CDK 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib.

Breast Cancer Management (ISSN: 1758-1923) addresses key issues in disease management by exploring the best patient-centered clinical research and presenting this information both directly, as clinical findings, and in practice-oriented formats of direct relevance in the clinic. The journal also highlights significant advances in basic and translational research, and places them in context for future therapy. Breast Cancer Management provides oncologists and other health professionals with the latest findings and opinions on reducing the burden of this widespread disease. Recent research findings and advances clinical practice in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts. The journal presents this information in clear, accessible formats. All articles are subject to independent review by a minimum of three independent experts. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal’s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3. Coverage includes: Diagnosis and imaging, Surgical approaches, Radiotherapy, Systemic therapies, Cancer clinical trials, Genetic aspects of disease, Personalized medicine, Translational research and biomarker studies, Management of psychological distress, Epidemiological studies, Pharmacoeconomics, Evidence-based treatment guidelines.
