Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of breast cancer, and particularly relates to a method for treating triple-negative breast cancer by quercetin inhibiting CYP1B1 in combination with Palbociclib. Background Art
[0002] Breast cancer, as the most common cancer in women, has become the main cause of cancer death in women. In 2022, the number of newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer in women worldwide exceeded 2.3 million, accounting for about 11.6% of all newly diagnosed cancer patients. In recent years, the incidence and mortality of breast cancer in China have shown an increasing trend year by year. In 2022, the number of newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer in Chinese women was about 357,200, and the number of death cases was about 75,000. Triple-negative breast cancer refers to a special type of breast cancer in which estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 are all negative. There are 170,000 cases of TNBC worldwide every year. Patients have a poor prognosis and overall survival, and the tumor cells are highly invasive, with a high metastasis and recurrence rate. At present, some scholars have proposed to divide TNBC into AR-positive TNBC and AR-negative TNBC according to the expression of androgen receptor. Among them, AR-TNBC is also named quadruple-negative breast cancer. As a subtype of TNBC, it accounts for 63% - 87% of TNBC. Due to its high invasiveness and poor prognosis, and compared with other breast cancer subtypes, including the AR+TNBC subtype, the overall survival, progression-free survival, and recurrence-free survival of QNBC patients are shorter.
[0003] Due to the lack of expression of ER, PR, HER-2, and androgen receptor (AR), QNBC patients do not respond well to traditional endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, the treatment effect is limited, and the prognosis is poor. This makes the treatment of QNBC particularly difficult and becomes a difficult point in the current treatment of breast cancer.
[0004] At present, the treatment methods of QNBC mainly include surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. However, these treatment methods have many limitations. Although surgical treatment can remove tumors, it has poor effects on QNBC patients with metastases. Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy can kill some tumor cells, they will also damage normal human cells, cause a series of side effects, and there is a problem of drug resistance. Therefore, QNBC may be classified as an independent breast cancer subtype. Finding highly effective targeted drugs, screening drug action molecular targets, clarifying the molecular mechanism of drug-targeted anti-tumor, and improving the curative effect of current clinical drugs are undoubtedly scientific problems that need to be solved urgently in the current treatment of QNBC.
