This study identified urinary biomarkers for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) using LC–MS/MS proteomic analysis. Among 212 proteins, vitronectin (uVTN) levels were significantly elevated in MBC patients and correlated with disease status. uVTN effectively distinguished MBC from healthy controls (AUC = 0.782). These findings support uVTN as a promising non-invasive biomarker for detecting and monitoring MBC progression and recurrence.

New research reveals that non-ablative radiotherapy suppresses ventricular tachycardia by increasing conduction velocity via NaV1.5 upregulation and action potential prolongation. However, sustained sodium current elevation and depressed calcium handling highlight the need for careful clinical translation.
