11. The urokinase-type plasminogen activator, its inhibitors and its receptor - the new prognostic factors in solid cancersSimona Borštnar, Tanja Čufer, Zvonimir Rudolf, 1997, review article Abstract: The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), its inhibitors (PAI-1 and PAI-2) and its receptor (uPAR) play nan important role in the degradation of the intercellular tissue, the process which affects the ability of cancer cells to invade to surrounding tissue and to metastasize. The results of clinical studies performed in the past few years point out a significant influence of uPA, PAI-1, PAI-2 and uPAR on the course of the disease and survival of patients with solid tumours, particularly breast cancer. Hopefullythe categorization of patients according to the content of the serineproteases and its inhibitors in tumour tissues could provide a basis formore rational treatment planning and thus improving patients' survival.

13. Differential diagnosis between bone metastases and osteomalaciaBranko Zakotnik, Simona Borštnar, Tadeja Movrin, Boris Jančar, Andreja Zidar, 1996, original scientific article Abstract: In oncology the diagnosis of skeletal metastases is a frequent one, in infact so frequent that other diagnoses such as metabolic bone diseases affecting patients with cancer may be overlooked. In our report two cases of osteomalacia referred to an oncologist are presented; in both of them the diagnosis of diffuse bone metastases of unknown origin was suspected. The differential diagnosis is discussed and the importance of bone marrow biopsy using Yamshidi needle for diagnosis of metabolic bone disease is emphasized.

17. Novosti na področju imunoterapije dojkSimona Borštnar, 2023, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Z odkritjem in razpoznavanjem vloge zaviralcev imunskih kontrolnih točk (ZIKT) pri številnih solidnih rakih in potrditve imunogenosti trojno negativnega raka dojk (TNRD), je imunoterapija postala privlačna strategija zdravljenja tudi pri tej bolezni. Čeprav so se ZIKT kot monoterapija izkazali za večinoma neučinkovite, pa je več kasnejših raziskav pokazalo, da kombinacija kemoterapije in ZIKT izboljša rezultate zdravljenja v primerjavi s kemoterapijo samo tako pri razsejanem in tudi zgodnjem TNRD. Atezolizumab v kombinaciji z nab-paklitakselom in pembrolizumab v kombinaciji s taksani ali platino in gemcitabinom so standardno zdravljenje pri bolnikih s prvim razsojem PD-L1 pozitivnega raka dojk. Neoadjuvantna terapija s pembrolizumabom in kemoterapijo pa je standardni pristop pri zgodnjem TNBC. Pri ostalih podtipih raka dojk zaenkrat še ni na voljo dokazov o učinkovitosti ZIKT.
