The impact of age on health utility values for older women with early-stage breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-regression (2022)
Journal Article

Introduction: An increasing number of postmenopausal women are diagnosed with breast cancer at an older age (≥ 70years). There is a lack of synthesised health utility data to support decision-making for managing breast cancer in this older population...

The impact of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic on the quality of breast cancer care in EUSOMA-certified breast centres (2022)
Journal Article

Aims: We analysed the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (COVID-19) on the quality of breast cancer care in certified EUSOMA (European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists) breast centres. Materials and methods: The results of the EUSOMA quality indic... Read More about The impact of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic on the quality of breast cancer care in EUSOMA-certified breast centres.

Molecular Biomarker Expression in Window of Opportunity Studies for Oestrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer—A Systematic Review of the Literature (2022)
Journal Article

Window of opportunity (WoO) trials create the opportunity to demonstrate pharmacodynamic parameters of a drug in vivo and have increasing use in breast cancer research. Most breast cancer tumours are oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+), leading to the...

Improving outcomes for women aged 70 years or above with early breast cancer: research programme including a cluster RCT (2022)
Journal Article

Background: In breast cancer management, age-related practice variation is widespread, with older women having lower rates of surgery and chemotherapy than younger women, based on the premise of reduced treatment tolerance and benefit. This may contr... Read More about Improving outcomes for women aged 70 years or above with early breast cancer: research programme including a cluster RCT.

Chemotherapy and gene expression profiling in older early luminal breast cancer patients: An International Society of Geriatric Oncology systematic review (2022)
Journal Article

Background: The benefit of chemotherapy for older patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer (EBC) is a key area of debate. Gene expression profiling (GEP) may identify p...
