Nipple Fluid Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor in Patients with Breast Cancer

Nipple fluid basic fibroblast growth factor in patients with breast cancer.

PURPOSE It has been shown that early detection of breast cancer could save lives. Recently, there has been increasing interest in nipple fluid as a potential supplemental avenue for breast cancer diagnosis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In this study, we determined the levels of an angiogenic factor basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the nipple fluid of healthy subjects as well as patients with b...

Relative expression of fibroblast growth factor-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with bacterial meningitis; A Western Blot analysis

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, thereby involving the arachnoid, the pia and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is divided into viral and bacterial meningitis. For different reasons the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is very important. The examination of CSF samples may provide information about causative microorganism. The sensivity of ...

Basic fibroblast growth factor in human prostate cancer cells.

To increase our understanding of the potential role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in malignant progression of prostate cancer, we determined the production of bFGF, the expression of FGF receptor (flg), and the response to exogenous bFGF in LNCaP, DU 145, and PC 3 cells. We observed that these three prostate cancer cell lines, which differed in their dependence on androgens for growt...
