Mathematical models of breast and ovarian cancers.
Women constitute the majority of the aging United States (US) population, and this has substantial implications on cancer population patterns and management practices. Breast cancer is the most common women's malignancy, while ovarian cancer is the most fatal gynecological malignancy in the US. In this review, we focus on these subsets of women's cancers, seen more commonly in postmenopausal an...
متن کاملA Quest for Better Mouse Models of Breast and Ovarian Cancers
Inheritedmutations in the BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early onset) gene increase the risk of female breast and ovarian cancers. About 65% and 40% of females who inherit BRCA1 mutations will develop breast and ovarian cancer, respectively (Antoniou et al., 2003). To address specific roles of BRCA1 in the normal development and cancer pathogenesis, a number of genetically modified mouse models have b...
متن کاملConformal Predictors in Risk Assessment of Ovarian and Breast Cancers
The paper describes an application of a recently developed machine learning technique called Mondrian predictors to risk assessment of ovarian and breast cancers. The analysis is based on mass spectrometry profiling of human serum samples that were collected in the United Kingdom Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening. The paper describes the technique and presents the results of class...
متن کاملRisks of breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers after twin births.
The concentrations of endogenous hormones differ between women with twin and singleton births, with a possible influence on the risk of cancer. We used the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database, including 30,409 women with a twin birth, to examine the subsequent risks of breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. Relative risks (RRs) were calculated in a log-linear Poisson regression model o...
متن کاملTumor antigens and markers for breast and ovarian cancers.
Use of vaccines to prevent and treat breast and ovarian cancer is a highly attractive approach because of the expected minimal side effects and the potential to predict individuals likely to benefit from vaccination. To fully harness the capacity of the immune system for this purpose, it is necessary to characterize tumor antigens for these cancers so that purified antigens can be tested for th...
