The role of radiogenomics in the diagnosis of breast cancer: a systematic review
Background One of the most common cancers diagnosed worldwide is breast cancer (BC), which is the leading cause of cancer death among women. The radiogenomics method is more accurate for managing and inhibiting this disease, which takes individual diagnosis on genes, environments, and lifestyles of each person. The present study aims to highlight the current state-of-the-art, the current role and limitations, and future directions of radiogenomics in breast cancer. Method This systematic review article was searched from databases such as Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane Library without any date or language limitations of databases. Searches were performed using Boolean OR and AND operators between the main terms and keywords of particular topic of the subject under investigation. All retrospective, prospective, cohort, and pilot studies were included, which were provided with more details about the topic. Articles such as letter to the editor, review, and short communications were excluded because of lack of information, discussions, or use of radiogenomics method on other cancers. For quality assessment of articles, STROBE checklist was used. Result For the systematic review, 18 articles were approved after assessing the full text of selected articles. In this review, 3614 patients with BC of selected articles were evaluated, and all radiogenomics were associated with more power in classification, differential diagnosis, and prognosis of BC. Among the various modalities to predict genomic indicators and molecular subtypes, DCE-MRI has the higher performance and finally the highest amount of AUC value (0.956) belonged to PI3K gene. Conclusion This review shows that radiogenomics can help with the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in patients. It has shown that recognizing and specifying radiogenomic phenotypes in the genomic signatures can be helpful in treatment and diagnosis of disease. The molecular methods used in these articles are limited to miRNAs expression, gene expression, Ki67 proliferation index, next-generation RNA sequencing, whole RNA sequencing, and molecular histopathology that can be completed in future studies by other methods such as exosomal miRNAs, specific proteins expression, DNA repair capacity, and other biomarkers that have prognostic and predictive value for cancer treatment response. Studies with control group and large sample size for evaluation of radiogenomics in diagnosis and treatment recommended.

Ginger is a popular spice and consists of several bioactive antioxidant compounds. Gingerenone A (Gin A), a novel compound isolated from Zingiber officinale, is rarely investigated for its anti-breast-cancer properties. Some ginger extracts have been reported to initiate senescence, an anticancer strategy. However, the anticancer effects of Gin A on breast cancer cells remain unclear. The present study aims to assess the modulating impact of Gin A acting on proliferation and senescence to breast cancer cells. Gin A diminished the cellular ATP content and decreased the cell viability of the MTS assay in several breast cancer cell lines. It also showed a delayed G2/M response to breast cancer cells (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231). N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an oxidative stress inhibitor, can revert these responses of antiproliferation and G2/M delay. The oxidative stress and senescence responses of Gin A were further validated by increasing reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial superoxide, and β-galactosidase activity, which were reverted by NAC. Gin A also upregulated senescence-associated gene expressions. In addition to oxidative stress, Gin A also induced DNA damage responses by increasing γH2AX level and foci and generating 8-hydroxyl-2′-deoxyguanosine in breast cancer cells, which were reverted by NAC. Therefore, Gin A promotes antiproliferation and senescence of breast cancer cells induced by oxidative stress.
Moving the Needle Forward in Genomically-Guided Precision Radiation Treatment
Radiation treatment (RT) is a mainstay treatment for many types of cancer. Recommendations for RT and the radiation plan are individualized to each patient, taking into consideration the patient’s tumor pathology, staging, anatomy, and other clinical characteristics. Information on germline mutations and somatic tumor mutations is at present rarely used to guide specific clinical decisions in RT. Many genes, such as ATM, and BRCA1/2, have been identified in the laboratory to confer radiation sensitivity. However, our understanding of the clinical significance of mutations in these genes remains limited and, as individual mutations in such genes can be rare, their impact on tumor response and toxicity remains unclear. Current guidelines, including those from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), provide limited guidance on how genetic results should be integrated into RT recommendations. With an increasing understanding of the molecular underpinning of radiation response, genomically-guided RT can inform decisions surrounding RT dose, volume, concurrent therapies, and even omission to further improve oncologic outcomes and reduce risks of toxicities. Here, we review existing evidence from laboratory, pre-clinical, and clinical studies with regard to how genetic alterations may affect radiosensitivity. We also summarize recent data from clinical trials and explore potential future directions to utilize genetic data to support clinical decision-making in developing a pathway toward personalized RT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
