Mirror Image or Molecular Mirage? Investigating Hormone Receptor Disconcordance in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases.
Breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) are a significant clinical challenge, especially in aggressive subtypes like HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer. This review discusses hormone receptor discordance, it's existence and contributing factors, the role of the bloodbrain barrier (BBB) in metastatic progression, and therapeutic modalities. While local treatments such as surgery and radiotherapy remain foundational, advances in systemic and immunotherapeutic approaches show promising potential. A deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms driving BCBM is essential to guide effective treatments and improve patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
