A. Early detection of systemic relapses in breast cancer.
WP 1. Analysis of primary tumor.
Analysis of primary tumor and metastases (Pathology group). In this work package both DNA and RNA from the primary tumors of 125 high-risk (Luminal-B) patients will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing
Background and Rationale:
Abortion management is one of the most important issues in gyne¬cology. According to the WHO abortion accounts for about 8% of maternal mortality worldwide. The term 'abortion' has become synonymous with induced abortion which is an intentional termination of pregnancy but
TNBC is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer associated with poor survival and new treatments are needed. A key feature of cancer is its ability to go undetected by the immune system. Recent developments in cancer research have identified immune checkpoints as a possible treatment option as they

Acquired resistance against chronic administration of the monoclonal antibody antiangiogenic agent like bevacizumab in breast cancer is caused in a fraction of patients by an immune reprogramming. The immune reprogramming can be detected by elevated counts of Tregs in peripheral blood, aberrant
Rapid estrogen level decline after menopause is associated with systemic bone loss in women leading to osteopenia/osteoporosis. Estrogen therapy (ET) improves bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Currently, ET has been associated with statistically significant increased risk of breast
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy of middle age women (%32) and causes 19% of cancer-related deaths. Acute pain can contribute to the development of persistent surgical pain. Persistent postsurgical pain has been demonstrated to be clinically relevant in 10% to 50% of patients undergoing
Glioma is the most frequent malignant primary brain tumor and remains a lethal disease with a dismal prognosis. Glioblastoma (GBM) accounts approximately 50% of all glioma and among these tumors, are the most malignant. GBM are characterized by a higher cellular density and by the ample existence of
It has long been recognised that there is an association between chronic immune activation and cancer but the mechanisms behind this observation are not fully understood. The inflammatory process may provide an environment for development of malignant disease, with mediators of inflammatory response
The guiding concept of our proposal is that both the total fat and the fatty acid composition of the diet contribute to a milieu associated with the risk for sex-hormone mediated cancers. Specifically, we hypothesize that an increased concentration of circulating n3 fatty acids will reduce the
This is a biomarker study with the goal of measuring changes in protein and rna expression. This study is not intended for use in diagnosing, mitigating, treating, curing, or preventing disease.
66 women at normal risk for developing breast cancer will be recruited and enrolled. 22 women will be

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Demonstrate the safety of green tea catechin extract (Polyphenon E) in women with a history of hormone receptor-negative breast cancer.
II. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of Polyphenon E in women with a history of hormone receptor-negative breast cancer.
SECONDARY
Scientific Background Anesthesia and surgery are stressful situations which cause neuro-endocrine, metabolic and neurological responses. Cancer surgery may cause a decrease in anti-angiogenic factors, and enable dissemination of tumor cells through manipulation of the tumor and it blood vessels, as
RayGel versus Placebo- An Alternative for Skin Care during External Beam Radiation Therapy
RayGel is a formulation of reduced glutathione and anthocyanins extracts from various blue/purple flowering plants. Glutathione has been studied in a variety of ways in conjunction with therapies directed at
