Project description:miRNA expression from breast tumor tissue obtained from two groups of breast cancer (BC) patients: one group formed by women younger than 36 years and the other group by women older than 65 years. We selected breast tumor tissue samples from 21 women under 36 years old and 12 women above 65 years old, without BRCA mutation and without metastases. We selected a pool of samples in which all the subtypes were representated, in young patients as well as in older patients, to avoid expression biass. We add three samples from breast tissue of cancer-free women to minimize the age-related expression biass. Our aim was to compare miRNA expression between young women and older women, considering normal tissue as a reference.

Project description:Model dependent on changing parameters.
There are 3 disease states: Healthy, Sick, and Dead, where the Dead state is terminal.
The yearly transition probabilities are:
Healthy to Dead: Age/1000; Healthy to Sick: according to function F1 depending on Age and Male parameters; Sick to Healthy: 0.1; Sick to Dead: according to function F2 depending on Age and Male parameters. Pre-Transition Rules: Age increased by 1 each cycle.
Initial conditions: Healthy = (50 Male, 50 Female with Age =1,2,…,50 for each individual), Sick = (0,0) and Dead = (0,0).
Output: Number of men and women in each disease state for years 1-10 and their ages in each state.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed neoplasm in women worldwide and a well-recognized heterogeneous pathology classified into four molecular subtypes: Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enriched and Basal-like, each one with different biological and clinical characteristics. It is well recognize that clinical and molecular heterogeneity of BC is driven in part by mRNA and lncRNAs. We profiled mRNAs and lncRNA in 75 adjuvant tumors using an Affymetrix microarray platform.

Project description:Bronx County, New York is the poorest urban county in the U.S.A., and residents are almost entirely Latino or African American. Cancer is the leading cause of premature death in the Bronx, with morality rates significantly higher than for New York City as a whole. Low-income/minority populations are more likely to be diagnosed with preventable and late-stage cancers than the general population, in part, due to lower screening rates. While research has addressed screening barriers in low-income/minority groups, depression, a common,potentially critical barrier, has received scant attention. Research suggests that depressed women are less likely to engage in cancer screening, especially mammography and Pap testing. The link between mental health and cancer screening is particularly important to address in the Bronx, which has the highest rates of self-reported serious psychological distress (a measure closely related to depression) in New York City. Depression affects almost 1 in 4 minority women, and while minorities often seek help for depression in primary care, primary care depression management often does not meet evidence-based standards. Drawing on the expertise and close collaboration of Bronx medical and social service providers and patient stakeholders, this study will determine whether a collaborative care intervention that addresses both depression and cancer screening needs simultaneously among women ages 50-64 is more effective at improving cancer screening and patient-reported outcomes for women with depression than an existing evidence-based cancer screening intervention alone.
To achieve this, the investigators will compare the effectiveness of these two interventions using a randomized controlled trial (RCT). In partnership with six Bronx Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), the investigators will recruit approximately 800 women ages 50-64 who screen positive for depression and are non-adherent with recommended cervical, breast, and/or colorectal cancer screenings. The investigators specific aims are to: 1) compare the impact of the two interventions on patient-reported outcomes, including cancer screening knowledge and attitudes, self-efficacy, depression-related stigma, provider referrals, participation in mental health care, medication adherence, quality of life, satisfaction with care and treatment decisions, and depression; 2) compare the effectiveness of the two interventions in increasing breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening; 3) determine whether reducing depression increases the likelihood that low-income women 50-64 will receive cancer screening; 4) determine whether effectiveness of the two interventions in increasing cancer screening varies according to patient characteristics, such as duration of depression, presence of other chronic conditions, and obesity.
This study is designed to increase the investigators understanding of how to enhance primary care systems’ ability to improve a range of outcomes related to cancer screening and depression among low-income minority women, and how to best support this population in making cancer-screening decisions.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is an important disease with high incidence as well as mortality among women, and critical socio-economic impacts. In the past 50 years, it has become a major health problem for women worldwide with over 2 million new cases diagnosed in 2018. This represents about 12% of all new cancer cases, 25% of all cancers in women and more than 600.000 cases of deaths worldwide in 2018 (Bray et al, 2018). If the cancer is located only in the breast, the 5-year relative survival rate of people with BC is 99% but this rate decreases if it is spread to lymph nodes (85%) and more dramatically if diagnosed with distant metastasis (26%) (Howlader et al, 2019; Siegel et al, 2017). Metastatic process, or the spread of tumor cells throughout the body, is responsible for about 90% of cancer patient deaths (Chaffer et al, 2011) and represents the central clinical challenge of solid tumor oncology. The development and progression of BC are complex processes that involve hormonal factors as well as numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations. During the past 10 years, many studies have focused on the role of the tumor microenvironment and the peritumoral stromal fraction, composed of adipose tissue, cancer-associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells and immune cells as macrophages and leukocytes. During tumor progression, cancer cells will deeply modify their microenvironment which in return will promote the growth and dissemination of the tumor (Allen et al, 2011; Polanska et al, 2013). Adipose tissue, consisting of mainly mature adipocytes and progenitors (preadipocytes and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), is the most abundant component surrounding BC cells. Adipose tissue exerts a major endocrine and secretory role, and represents then an essential actor in the inflammatory, angiogenic or remodeling responses of the extracellular matrix, which influences tumor behavior.

Project description:In May of 2021, the United States Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) updated their colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines by recommending screening at an earlier age for average-risk adults starting at the age of 45 years old (Grade B recommendation). This is in addition to their Grade A recommendations of continuing to screen average-risk adults ages 50-75 years old. UCLA Health previously implemented a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) outreach program wherein FIT kits are mailed to average-risk patients overdue for CRC screening twice annually to promote screening uptake. As the investigators health system aims to screen the newly eligible population of average-risk patients between the ages of 45-49, the investigators proposed randomized controlled trial is aimed to determine the most effective patient outreach approach to maximize screening uptake within this age-group.

Project description:Objective: To study the potential effect of COVID-19 on the endometrium of affected symptomatic women. Design: Preliminary study of the endometrial transcriptomes in women with COVID-19 through RNA sequencing. Setting: Hospital and university laboratories. Subjects: Women with COVID-19 lacking SARS-CoV-2 infection in endometrial tissue. Intervention/Exposure: Endometrial biopsy collection. Main outcomes measures: Endometrial gene expression and functional analysis of patients with COVID-19 versus uninfected individuals. Results: COVID-19 systemic disease alters endometrial gene expression in 75% of women, with patients exhibiting a preponderance of 163 up-regulated (e.g., UTS2, IFI6, IFIH1, BNIP3) and 72 down-regulated genes (e.g., CPZ, CDH3, IRF4) (FDR<0.05). A total of 161 dysregulated functions (36 up-regulated and 125 down-regulated) were typically enriched in COVID-19 endometria, including upregulation in pathways involved in response to virus and cytokine inflammation, highlighting upregulation of a COVID-19 response pathway. Conclusion: COVID-19 affects endometrial gene expression despite the absence of SARS-CoV-2 particles in endometrial tissues.
