Metastatic breast cancer is the second most common cause of brain metastasis (BM), and this problem is particularly marked for the amplified HER2 subtype (HER2+), with a cumulative incidence reaching up to 49 % in the ER–/HER2+ subgroup. Literature review shows that therapeutic progress has been major since the marketing of systemic anti-HER2+...

Glioblastomas (GBM) are heterogeneous tumors with high metabolic plasticity. Their poor prognosis is linked to the presence of glioblastoma stem cells (GSC), which support resistance to therapy, notably to temozolomide (TMZ). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) recruitment to GBM contributes to GSC chemoresistance, by mechanisms still poorly...

Background: More than 10% of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) will develop Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases as first and isolated site of relapse on trastuzumab and pertuzumab first-line therapy. However, few clinical data are available to guide the best strategy in this setting.Methods: Patients experiencing isolated CNS...

Background: As a result of progress in diagnosis and treatment, there is a growing prevalence of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with isolated CNS metastases. This study describes the largest-to-date real-life cohort of this clinical setting and compares it to other clinical presentations.Methods: We retrospectively analysed the French...

The aims of the present study were to describe treatment patterns and survival outcomes in patients with central nervous system metastases (CNSM) selected among metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients included in a retrospective study from the Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) MBC cohort.
