Comparing Machine Learning Models for Aromatase (P450 19A1).

Environmental science & technology
Aromatase, or cytochrome P450 19A1, catalyzes the aromatization of androgens to estrogens within the body. Changes in the activity of this enzyme can produce hormonal imbalances that can be detrimental to sexual and skeletal development. Inhibition o...

Quality of Life in Adolescent Boys with Idiopathic Short Stature: Positive Impact of Growth Hormone and Aromatase Inhibitors.

Hormone research in paediatrics
BACKGROUND: The combination of growth hormone (GH) and aromatase inhibitors (AI) improves linear growth in severely short adolescent boys; however, the effects of this intervention on quality of life (QoL) are unknown. This study assesses whether GH,...

Comparison of Changes in the Lipid Profiles of Eastern Chinese Postmenopausal Women With Early-Stage Breast Cancer Treated With Different Aromatase Inhibitors: A Retrospective Study.

Clinical pharmacology in drug development
Cardiovascular morbidity is closely associated with serum lipid level. We aimed to investigate the effects of different aromatase inhibitors, including letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane, on the lipid profile of eastern Chinese breast cancer pati...

Optimal adjuvant endocrine treatment of ER+/HER2+ breast cancer patients by age at diagnosis: A population-based cohort study.

European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990)
BACKGROUND: Prior randomised controlled trials on adjuvant hormonal therapy included HER2 patients; however, a differential effect of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) versus tamoxifen (TAM) may have been missed in ER+/HER2+ patients that comprise 7-15% of ...

Cognitive sequelae of endocrine therapy in women treated for breast cancer: a meta-analysis.

Breast cancer research and treatment
PURPOSE: Evidence suggests anti-estrogen endocrine therapy (ET) is associated with adverse cognitive effects; however, findings are based on small samples and vary in the cognitive abilities affected. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively sy...

Genomic risk prediction of aromatase inhibitor-related arthralgia in patients with breast cancer using a novel machine-learning algorithm.

Cancer medicine
Many breast cancer (BC) patients treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) develop aromatase inhibitor-related arthralgia (AIA). Candidate gene studies to identify AIA risk are limited in scope. We evaluated the potential of a novel analytic algorithm ...

Effect of imatinib on growth of experimental endometriosis in rats.

European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology
OBJECTIVE: Currently, medical and surgical treatment options for endometriosis are limited due to suboptimal efficacy, and also safety and tolerance issues. Long-term use of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogs, androgenes, and the danazol, which ...

Neoadjuvant endocrine treatment in early breast cancer: An overlooked alternative?

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
During the last decade neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) has moved from being reserved for elderly and frail non-chemotherapy candidates to a primary systemic modality in selected patients with hormone sensitive breast cancer. Neoadjuvant hormonal ...

Ovarian Function Recovery During Anastrozole in Breast Cancer Patients With Chemotherapy-Induced Ovarian Function Failure.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute
BACKGROUND: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are given as adjuvant therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women, also to those with chemotherapy-induced ovarian function failure. The current analysis reports on endocrine data...
