AbstractThe systemic balance of angiogenic and antiâ€angiogenic factors has been proposed to play a keyâ€role in primary tumor growth dependent growth suppression of secondary tumors. Despite the importance of the organ microenvironment to angiogenesis and microcirculation, the influence of a primary tumor on secondary bone tumors has not been investigated...

Breast Cancer in HIV-Infected Patients: A Retrospective Single-Institution Study
|
|
Discussion: The frequency of breast cancer in our population is low. We did not find any relationship among immunosuppression, obesity, and development of breast cancer. More studies are needed to elucidate the impact of HIV infection in the biology of breast cancer. (Source: Journal of the International Association of Physicians...

An evidence based strategy for follow up after breast conserving treatment for breast cancer
|
|
ConclusionsThis study shows that the risk of parenchymal LRR remains constant for at least 14 years and is significant enough to warrant routine longâ€term follow up mammography. Routine clinical examination contributes significantly to the detection of LRR only for the first 2 years. J. Surg. Oncol. © 2011 Wileyâ€Liss, Inc. (...

{beta}-catenin-independent WNT signaling in basal-like breast cancer and brain metastasis
|
|
In conclusion, WNT signaling seems highly relevant for basal-like and other subtypes of breast cancers metastasizing into the brain. β-catenin-independent WNT signaling, presumably via ROR1-2, plays a major role in this context. (Source: Carcinogenesis)

CC chemokine ligand 21 enhances the immunogenicity of the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 upon assistance of TLR2
|
|
This study explored the effects of CCL21-CCR7 ligation on cancer immunogenicity and related antitumor immune response, in the presence and absence of mitomycin C (MMC) treatment. CCL21-CCR7 binding upregulated human leukocyte antigen class I-restricted tumor antigen presentation with increased expression of human leukocyte antigen class I and transporter associated with...

Estrogen receptor {alpha}-mediated transcription induces cell cycle-dependent DNA double-strand breaks
|
|
Prolonged exposure to estrogen increases breast cancer risk. Estrogen is known to induce chromosomal aberrations, yet the mechanisms by which estrogen promotes genomic instability are not fully understood. Here, we show that exposure of MCF-7 cells to 17β-estradiol (E2) induces DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), as determined by the formation of...

Conclusions: TNBC with high Ki-67 was associated with a more aggressive clinical feature despite a higher pCR rate. High proliferation index Ki-67 can be used for further classification of TNBC into two subtypes with different responses and prognosis.

Population-Based Breast-Cancer Screening Not Best Use Of Limited Health-Care Resources In Low And Middle-Income Countries
|
|
There is increasing pressure from national and international advocacy groups on low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) to implement population-based mammography screening. But according to a Personal View published Online First in The Lancet Oncology, this "one-size-fits-all" approach although proven to be effective in high-income countries would be impractical in most...

Being too fat raises risk of deadly breast cancer: study

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Scientists know that being overweight increases the risk of breast cancers fed by estrogen, but being too fat may also increase the risk of triple-negative breast cancers, a less common and far more deadly type, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday. (Source: Reuters: Health)
