Morphometry of Breast Cancer

Nuclear Morphometry in African Breast Cancer

Three hundred cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 1983 and 1999 in Calabar, Nigeria were analysed to determine the nuclear morphometric variables, and evaluate the prognostic potential of nuclear morphometry in Nigerian breast cancers. The necessary follow-up was available for 129 patients. The nuclear area was the most valuable variable. In the Nigerian material, the mean nuclear...

Future of Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Can Immunotherapy Treat This Deadly Subtype of Breast Cancer?

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC): challenges and solutions via the immune cells TNBC is one of the most complicated types of breast cancer to treat. It is generally diagnosed based on the absence of three receptors: estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and is thus defined as a triple negative. TNBC is often more aggressive with lower survival rates...
