The association between IGF1 CA ...
IGF-I CA repeat polymorphisms have been reported to influence the risk for breast cancer in many studies; however, the results still remains controv ...
Significant changes in dietary ...
The diagnosis of cancer can motivate survivors to alter their lifestyle habits. Healthcare providers need to be aware of what changes patients are l ...
Improved survival of patients w ...
In this study, changes in prognosis for more than 8,000 patients with primary distant metastatic breast cancer were analyzed, using nation-wide data ...
Significant differences among p ...
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has published guidelines for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOCS) management. Litt ...
Paraneoplastic polymyositis ass ...
The association of polymyositis and cancer was first described in 1916, the most frequent cancers being mammary and gynecological for women, broncho ...
Genetic variants in ultraconser ...
Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) are the most extreme representatives of conserved non-coding sequences. Recent studies have indicated thatUCEs are no ...
No evidence for an association ...
Breast cancer represents a serious public health problem worldwide, for its high incidence, morbidity, mortality, and its high cost treatment. It is ...
High estrogen receptor expressi ...
One of the most controversial questions in early breast cancer treatment is the need of chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor positive dis ...
Agonists and antagonists of GnR ...
Metastasis to bone is a frequent problem of advanced breast cancer. Particularly breast cancers, which do not express estrogen and progesterone rece ...
Metabotropic glutamate receptor ...
Metabotropic glutamate receptors are G-protein- coupled receptors normally expressed in the central nervous system where they mediate neuronal excit ...
Role of PTEN promoter methylati ...
Tamoxifen (TAM) resistance is a serious clinical problem in the treatment of breast cancer. Here, we found that S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and DNA m ...
Gene expression profile testing ...
As gene expression profile (GEP) testing for breast cancer may provide additional prognostic information to guide the use of adjuvant chemotherapy, ...
A prognostic model for lymph no ...
model for a more precise prognosis of the risk of relapse is needed to avoid overtreatment of lymph node-negative breast cancer patients. A large de ...
Correlation between docetaxel-i ...
Steroids and H2 blockers are commonly used as supportive care for taxane-containing chemotherapy, but they also affect docetaxel’s primary metaboliz ...
Detection of aberrant promoter ...
Aberrant promoter methylation of genes is a common molecular event in breast cancer. Thus, DNA methylation analysis is expected to be a new tool for ...
Insulin-like growth factor-1 re ...
Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) plays a key role in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. However, its prognostic relevance ...
The role of topoisomerase IIa i ...
Topoisomerase IIa is not only a proliferation marker of tumor cells, but is also a target for anthracyclinebased chemotherapy. Both in vitro and in ...
Targeting low molecular weight ...
Low molecular weight cyclin E (LMW-E) plays an important oncogenic role in breast cancer. LMWE, which is not found in normal tissue, can promote the ...
