Significance of nuclear morphometry on fine needle aspirates of breast lesions
Background: FNAC of the breast, although effective for the diagnosis of breast lesions is largely subjective and a minority of cases cannot be classified as benign or malignant due to the morphological overlap. This hinders a definite diagnosis which may sometimes lead to unnecessary surgical biopsy. Morphometry in combination with FNAC is one such method of improving the diagnosis. Objective: ...
متن کاملAbsence of Human Papillomavirus in Benign and Malignant Breast Tissue

Proper management of breast carcinoma necessitates an identification of the etiological factors. Human Papillomavirus is considered to have an etiological role in breast carcinoma. We...
متن کاملTelomerase activity in benign and malignant breast lesions: a pilot prospective study on fine-needle aspirates.
The enzyme telomerase contributes to the maintenance of telomere stability (1). Although telomerase reactivation in somatic cells is not sufficient per se for the cells to proliferate indefinitely, telomerase expression and telomere stabilization appear to occur concomitantly with the attainment of immortality in cancer cells (1–3) and may contribute to tumorigenesis and neoplastic progression....
متن کاملDNA Cytometry and Nuclear Morphometry in Ovarian Benign, Borderline and Malignant Tumors
BACKDROUND Ovarian carcinoma is a leading cause of death in gynecological malignancy. Ovarian surface epithelial serous and mucinous tumours are classified as benign, borderline, and malignant. The identification of borderline tumours most likely to act aggressively remains an important clinical issue. AIM This work aimed to study DNA ploidy and nuclear area in ovarian serous and mucinous; be...
متن کاملCorrelation of Hormone Receptor Expression with Histologic Parameters in Benign and Malignant Breast Tumors
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the commonest cancer of Indian women. Estrogen and Progesterone expression is seen in benign breast lesions and in breast carcinoma associated with good prognostic parameters and it correlates well with response to hormone therapy. Although a lot of studies have been conducted in the past on hormone receptor expression in breast cancer and few have cor...
