Luminal B tumors are the most frequent molecular subtype in breast cancer of North African women: an immunohistochemical profile study from Morocco
BACKGROUND Breast cancer may be classified into luminal A, luminal B, HER2+/ER-, basal-like and normal-like subtypes based on gene expression profiling or immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics. The aim of our study is to show the molecular profile characteristic of breast cancer in the North African population of Morocco. This work showed preliminary results and correlations with clinicopat...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy among women in Eastern Morocco. In this paper, we provide the first report on molecular breast cancer subtypes in this region. This is the largest population-based study on breast cancer among Moroccan women. METHODS We analyzed 2260 breast cancer cases diagnosed at the Hassan II Regional Oncology Center between October 2005 and Decembe...

INTRODUCTION Male breast carcinoma is a rare condition, but with a trend of increase frequency. In our study, we investigate the clinico-pathological features and overall survival at 35 male cases of primary invasive breast carcinoma correlated with molecular subtypes defined by immunohistochemical profile. METHODS Based on immunohistochemical expression profiles of estrogen receptor (ER), pr...
متن کاملDifferences in breast carcinoma immunohistochemical subtypes between immigrant Arab and European women
BACKGROUND There is a dearth of information on the clinicopathological differences, including the molecular subtypes, of breast carcinomas from immigrant Arab women in Europe. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine and compare these features in immigrant Arab/Moroccan patients with those of European women. METHODS Included in this study were 441 cases of breast cancer: 91 Arab/Morocca...
متن کاملBreast cancer classification according to immunohistochemical markers: clinicopathologic features and short-term survival analysis in a population-based study from the South of Switzerland.
BACKGROUND Breast cancer may be classified into distinct molecular subtypes based on gene expression profiling and/or immunophenotypic characteristics. Aim of the study was to investigate prevalence, clinicopathologic features and overall survival (OS) of molecular subtypes, in a large European population-based study. PATIENTS AND METHODS All invasive breast cancers from 2003 to 2007 were sel...
