Serum concentration of free T3 and, in female patients, FT4, were found to be lower in 20 asymptomatic, moderately-poor or well controlled, diabetics treated with insulin than in a group of non-diabetic subjects. Over a mean 3-month period of the study a significant fall occurred in HbA1 concentration in both groups of diabetics without change in free thyroid hormone levels. The mean capillary blood glucose, fasting free insulin and fasting lipid concentrations, other than high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, did not change. No correlations were found between the changes in HbA1 and free thyroid hormone concentrations. Improvement in long term metabolic control did not influence free thyroid hormone levels in well controlled and moderately-poor controlled diabetics, taking insulin.

Hormone therapy currently open up the prospect of long-term, comfortable and relatively low-toxic treatment for patients with hormone receptor – positive advanced breast cancer. For a long time, the presence of visceral metastases prompted oncologists to abandon hormone therapy in favor of cytostatic agents. Now days, even in the presence of visceral metastases, clinical guidelines allow use of modern hormonal therapy in the absence of a visceral crisis. In particular, the so-called CDK 4/6 inhibitors, presented on the Russian market by drugs: palbociclib, ribociclib and abemacyclib, became the drugs that significantly improved the  results of  hormone therapy. Each of  them has demonstrated its effectiveness in  clinical trials; moreover, there are lots of clinical cases demonstrating the benefits of this therapy in real clinical practice. The article presents a clinical case of treatment of advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The effectiveness of treatment with CDK 4/6 inhibitors has been demonstrated, a comparatively analysed with the data obtained in the course of clinical trials. The analysis of the tactics of treatment of cytomegalovirus infection of the cornea during therapy with ribociclib was carried out.

Purpose The majority of women with breast cancer from low-income countries, including Ethiopia, present with advanced clinical stage disease, which results in limited and difficult therapeutic options and high mortality rates. In Ethiopia, breast cancer is the most common cancer. We found that 70% of breast cancer cases in Ethiopia are hormone receptor positive. Endocrine therapy is one of the treatment options recommended for breast cancer but that is highly underutilized in the country. Recommendations on interventions to improve uptake and adherence to therapy exist, but studies that have assessed the feasibility of implementing these are limited. Our study (n = 107) in rural Ethiopia revealed an estimated 53% 2-year survival rate in patients who underwent surgery only. In our pilot study, of 51 eligible patients 26 initiated therapy and one half of those adhered after 1 year. Our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using a trained breast nurse navigator to improve patient adherence to tamoxifen therapy among patients with breast cancer in rural Ethiopia. Methods A cluster randomized intervention trial is being carried out in rural hospitals in southwestern Ethiopia from February 2018 to June 2019. We use hospitals in clusters as the units of randomization. The sample size includes four per intervention arm and control arm, with each cluster comprised of approximately 15 patients. Before intervention, all patients in the hospitals will receive tamoxifen therapy free of charge. Hormone receptor status of the breast cancer specimen will be determined before the initiation of therapy or throughout the course of therapy. The primary outcome of this trial is adherence to endocrine therapy on the basis of objective and subjective measures. Data will be collected with a prospective repeated measures approach. Analysis will be based on an intention-to-treat principle. Results The trial aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of the breast nurse intervention to improve adherence to long-term endocrine therapy and answer the following research question: does the nursing intervention improve long-term treatment adherence by patients to endocrine therapy compared with those who receive usual care services? Conclusion These data are essential to maximize the impact of trained nurse-based interventions on adherence to endocrine (tamoxifen) therapy among patients with breast cancer on follow-up.
