Estrogen stimulates proliferation in hormone-responsive breast cancer cells. Progestins inhibit the estrogen-mediated growth in these cells and are used in the treatment of mammary carcinomas. We applied cDNA microarray and real-time RT-PCR methods to reveal 17beta-estradiol- and medroxyprogesterone
Docetaxel is one of the most active drugs used to treat breast cancer. The cellular target of docetaxel is the microtubule, specifically the beta-tubulin subunit, that comprises a series of isotypes and that can modulate function. This study has examined the role of alteration in beta-tubulin
Objective: We aim to identify prognostic groups within a de novo metastatic cohort, incorporating both anatomic and biologic factors.
Background: Staging for breast cancer now
Randomized control trials exploring adjuvant supportive-expressive group therapy (SEGT) for breast cancer have yielded conflicting survival results. This retrospective cohort study was designed to explore the association of adjuvant SEGT performed at diagnosis with survival in KiSS-1 is ametastasis suppressor gene, its inactivation linked to advanced tumor stage and dismal prognosis. We studied its mutational status ,transcription and protein expression in human cancer cell lines and patients with early breast cancer.
Tumor tissue DNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) of
MicroRNAs (miRNA) play important roles in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. Here, we investigated the role of miR-601 in breast cancer and found that its expression was significantly down-regulated in breast cancer tissues compared with matched adjacent non-cancerous breast tissues.
We describe a case of a 69-year-old woman who underwent left breast-preserving surgery and axillary dissection for left-sided breast cancer at 60 years of age. The histopathological diagnosis was papillotubular carcinoma, luminal A (pathological T1N0M0).In the eighth year after surgery, computed
Based on the reported high expression of p38α MAP kinase in invasive breast cancers and the activity of different functionalized chromone derivatives as p38α inhibitors, a new set of 4,9-dimethoxy/4-methoxy-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-furo[3,2-g]chromone derivatives were efficiently synthesized aiming to
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the ongoing DETECT study program is to evaluate therapeutic intervention based on phenotypes of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Currently (as of July 2015) more than half of the projected about 2000 patients with MBC have already
Breast cancer (BC) incidence is progressively increasing in Egypt. However, there is insufficient knowledge of the acquired somatic mutations in Egyptian BC patients which limit our understanding of its progression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Egyptian cohort to sequence a
BACKGROUND
Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) plays an important role in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis. It is overexpressed in basal-like breast cancer (BLBC), which is aggressive and usually triple-negative, making it unresponsive to current targeted therapies. Here, we evaluated the
A series of novel bis-benzimidazoles, IIa-e, IIIa-e and IVa-g, was designed, synthesized and evaluated for anticancer properties. Certain additional analogs were also designed by introducing the p-quinone moiety, a characteristic feature found in mitomycin C, indolequinones and other examples of
BACKGROUND
Here we report the first systematic evaluation of laparoscopic parenchymal-sparing segmentectomies for the resection of lesions in the central liver segments and the first series of laparoscopic mesohepatectomies.
METHODS
From 1995 to 2012, 482 laparoscopic hepatectomies were performed.
Uterine metastases of malignant tumours are rare. Among extragenital malignancies breast cancers of the lobular type most likely spread out to this site. The respective diagnosis is rendered more difficult by the late onset of clinical symptoms that may imitate the picture of primary uterine cancer.
Thirty-eight consecutive patients with locally advanced (stage IIIb/IVa-c) or inflammatory breast cancer (stage IVd) underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy in our department between 1978-1990. All patients in this phase II study, received from three to five courses of neoadjuvant AVM regimen
